Solution Overview

Problem

The existing Oncell OLED display devices suffer from mutual interference between touch and display signals due to parasitic capacitance between the touch signal line and the display signal line, affecting both display and touch performance.

Innovation Solution

The OLED display panel and device design separate the touch and display bonding terminal areas, ensuring the touch signal line is connected to its corresponding terminal outside the display signal line's terminal area, thereby avoiding cross-overs and parasitic capacitance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the touch signal line and display signal line are connected to signal terminals through both sides of the display panel, then the touch control function and display function can be realized, but parasitic capacitance is generated between the touch signal line and display signal line causing signal interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch control function and display functionVSAvoidparasitic capacitance causing signal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding terminal area is divided into a first bonding terminal area for touch signal lines and a second bonding terminal area for display signal lines. This spatial segmentation prevents parasitic capacitance between touch and display signal lines while maintaining both touch control and display functions independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a conventional single-plane signal routing to a multi-dimensional arrangement where touch and display signal lines are separated in the planar bonding terminal area. This dimensional reorganization eliminates parasitic capacitance interference while preserving signal transmission functionality.

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

2Length of stationary object

If the touch layer is arranged on the encapsulation layer to reduce display panel thickness, then the display panel thickness is reduced, but the touch signal line and display signal line cross over causing parasitic capacitance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay panel thicknessVSAvoidparasitic capacitance from signal line crossover
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding terminal area is segmented into distinct first and second bonding terminal areas, spatially separating touch and display signal connections. This segmentation prevents signal line crossover and parasitic capacitance generation while maintaining the thin-profile Oncell structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The separated bonding terminal areas act as intermediary zones that facilitate independent connection of touch and display signal lines to their respective terminals. This intermediary arrangement prevents direct interaction between touch and display signals, eliminating parasitic capacitance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If metal lines are extended to signal terminals on both sides to connect touch electrodes, then touch control function is achieved, but interference between touch signal and display signal occurs due to parasitic capacitance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch control functionVSAvoidsignal interference affecting touch and display performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding terminal area is divided into separate first and second bonding terminal areas for touch and display signals respectively. This segmentation ensures that touch control functionality is maintained while eliminating parasitic capacitance-induced interference, thereby improving signal reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the bonding terminal area are assigned different functions: the first bonding terminal area is optimized for touch signal connections while the second bonding terminal area is optimized for display signal connections. This local differentiation prevents signal interference while maintaining operational ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
