Solution Overview

Problem

In current mini-LED display technologies, the disposition of metal wirings in multiple layers leads to a high propensity for short circuits, resulting in increased costs and performance issues.

Innovation Solution

The display panel design includes a power line, grounding signal wiring, driving chips, and light-emitting lamp groups, where all these components are disposed in the same layer, with partition channel wirings connecting the light-emitting lamp groups to the driving chips, thereby preventing short circuits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If metal wirings are disposed in multiple layers, then wiring functionality is improved, but short circuit risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring functionalityVSAvoidshort circuit risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from multi-layer wiring arrangement to single-layer wiring arrangement, changing the dimensional organization of conductors. All metal wirings (power line, grounding signal wiring, partition channel wirings) are disposed in the same layer, eliminating vertical stacking and thereby eliminating short circuit risks between layers while maintaining wiring functionality through careful lateral spacing and arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Device complexity

If grounding wiring, partition channel wirings, and power wiring are disposed in different layers, then wiring organization is improved, but manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring organizationVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple wiring types (power line, grounding signal wiring, partition channel wirings) into a single layer, consolidating what would traditionally require multiple layers. This merging simplifies the manufacturing process by reducing the number of layer deposition and alignment steps, thereby lowering manufacturing costs while maintaining functional organization through lateral spacing and designated regions within the single layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
