Solution Overview

Problem

In high-resolution OLED displays, the increased pixel density and parasitic resistance-capacitance load lead to signal delay, voltage drop, and non-uniform display issues due to the arrangement of signal lines, causing color shift and display quality degradation.

Innovation Solution

The display substrate design includes a 3T1C pixel circuit with a storage capacitor, auxiliary electrode lines, and optimized signal line arrangements to reduce resistance-capacitance load, ensuring uniform power distribution and improved signal transmission.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If pixel density is increased to achieve high-resolution display, then display resolution is improved, but parasitic resistance-capacitance load increases causing signal delay and voltage drop

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidsignal transmission quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The signal line is divided into multiple segments with intermediate connection points to other signal lines, creating a segmented transmission path that reduces the parasitic RC load on each individual segment and mitigates signal degradation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple signal lines are merged through intermediate connection points where they intersect, allowing shared use of signal line resources and reducing the total length and parasitic load of individual signal lines while maintaining signal integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If signal lines are arranged to connect pixels in high-resolution display, then display quality is improved, but voltage drop and color shift occur due to parasitic resistance-capacitance load

Engineering Contradiction:
