Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display panels with integrated indicator lights face increased manufacturing complexity and high power consumption due to the presence of additional LED lights outside the display area.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a first organic light-emitting device in the display area and at least one second organic light-emitting device in the information notification area, with the second device connected to a control circuit receiving a lower power voltage, allowing for a simplified manufacturing process and reduced power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If an LED light is additionally arranged in the region outside the display area for use as an indicator light, then the indicator light function is achieved, but the manufacturing process complexity increases and power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the indicator light function with the organic light-emitting device structure by integrating the second organic light-emitting device into the existing OLED architecture. This eliminates the need for separate LED components and their associated manufacturing processes, while also reducing overall power consumption by utilizing the same low-power organic light-emitting technology for both display and indicator functions
Solution Approach 2:
The organic light-emitting device structure is designed to serve multiple functions: the first organic light-emitting device provides display functionality in the display area, while the second organic light-emitting device provides indicator light functionality in the information notification area. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate LED components and reduces manufacturing complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If an LED light is additionally arranged in the region outside the display area for use as an indicator light, then the indicator light function is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the indicator light function with the existing organic light-emitting device structure by integrating the second organic light-emitting device into the OLED architecture. This merger maintains the indicator light functionality while reducing device complexity by eliminating separate LED components and their associated control circuits
Solution Approach 2:
The organic light-emitting device is designed with universal functionality to serve both display purposes (first organic light-emitting device in display area) and indicator light purposes (second organic light-emitting device in information notification area), thereby achieving adaptability without increasing device complexity
