Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light emitting diode display devices have a large bezel area due to pad parts and instrument coverage, leading to increased seam visibility between connected displays, reducing viewing immersion and productivity, especially in large-size multi-screen setups.

Innovation Solution

A display device design featuring a minimized bezel area through a substrate bonding system with side data and gate connection members, where the line substrate is bonded to the display substrate with data and gate routing lines, and subpixels are arranged to reduce the bezel width, allowing seamless image display across multiple screens.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a related art light emitting diode display device is manufactured with pad parts and instrument coverage, then the display device can be assembled and protected, but the bezel area increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly and protectionVSAvoidbezel area
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the harmful elements (pad parts and instruments) from the display device structure by implementing a seamless edge design where the light emitting device directly contacts the substrate without additional covering components, thereby eliminating the bezel area while maintaining assembly and protection through the substrate bonding structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent moves the connection and protection functions from the planar dimension (pad parts on the surface) to the vertical dimension (substrate bonding and edge sealing), allowing the display device to achieve assembly and protection without increasing the horizontal bezel area

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

2Area of stationary object

If the display device size is increased to reduce seam visibility, then viewing immersion improves, but the number of pixels increases causing higher transfer error rate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidtransfer error rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display device into modular units with standardized pixel arrangements, allowing large display areas to be constructed from multiple smaller modules while maintaining consistent transfer precision across each module, thereby reducing the cumulative transfer error rate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the manufacturing parameters by optimizing the substrate bonding process and pixel transfer conditions for large-area substrates, adjusting temperature, pressure, and alignment parameters to maintain high manufacturing precision even as display area increases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Area of stationary object

If multiple light emitting diode display devices are connected to form multi-screen devices, then large-size screen capability is achieved, but boundary portions create seam visibility reducing viewing immersion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen sizeVSAvoidvisual continuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple display devices into a unified visual system by eliminating boundary portions through seamless edge design, where adjacent displays are positioned so close together that the substrate bonding and light emitting device edges create no visible gaps or seams, achieving visual continuity across the entire multi-screen assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
