Modular Display Unit Interconnect for Easier Large-Screen Repair
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The manufacturing cost of large-sized display apparatus is high due to the jointing of multiple display devices, and repairing such apparatus is inconvenient when one display device is damaged.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device includes a substrate with through holes and bumps, allowing for flexible connection and independent repair of individual display units through microstructures and engaging mechanisms, reducing stress and facilitating easy assembly and disassembly.

1Area of stationary object
If multiple display devices are jointed to form large-sized display apparatus, then the display size is increased, but the manufacturing cost increases and repair convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus is divided into multiple independently replaceable display devices that can be jointed together to form a large-sized display. Each display device functions as an independent module with its own substrate, bumps, and electronic elements, allowing individual replacement without affecting other modules.
Solution Approach 2:
When one display device is damaged, only the damaged module needs to be replaced while the undamaged display devices can be recovered and reused. This reduces waste and lowers the overall cost of repair for the large-sized display apparatus.
2Area of stationary object
If multiple display devices are jointed to form large-sized display apparatus, then the display size is increased, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into multiple standard-sized display devices that can be manufactured using conventional production processes, avoiding the need for expensive custom manufacturing of large-sized displays. The modular approach allows for economies of scale in producing each individual display device.
Solution Approach 2:
The modular design allows undamaged display devices to be recovered and reused when only one module is damaged, reducing the overall manufacturing cost by minimizing the number of devices that need to be replaced or manufactured.
3Area of stationary object
If display devices are jointed together, then large-sized display is achieved, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into identical or standardized display device modules, each with the same internal structure (substrate, bumps, electronic elements). This standardization reduces system complexity by allowing the use of the same manufacturing processes, connection methods, and replacement procedures for each module.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple standardized display device modules are merged together through bump connections to form a large-sized display. The merging process uses uniform connection mechanisms and alignment methods, which simplifies the overall system integration compared to creating a single large display from scratch.

AI summary
An electronic device is provided and includes a substrate, a first bump, a second bump, and an electronic element. The substrate includes a first through hole and a second through hole disposed adjacent to the first through hole along a direction. The first bump and the second bump are overlapped with the substrate, wherein the first bump is adjacent to the second bump along the direction. The electronic element is overlapped with the substrate and electrically connected to the first bump, wherein the substrate is disposed between the first bump and the electronic element. A distance between the first through hole and the second through hole of the substrate along the direction is different from a distance between the first bump and the second bump along the direction.
