Solution Approach 1:

The pixel driving circuit transistors are segmented into two separate groups: first transistors connected to first well regions and second transistors connected to second well regions. This segmentation allows independent well region control for each transistor group, enabling precise leakage current management while maintaining high pixel integration density. The separation of transistor groups into different well regions prevents mutual interference and enables targeted body biasing to suppress leakage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different well regions are assigned to different transistor groups within the same pixel circuit, creating local quality variations. The first well region is optimized for first transistors while the second well region is optimized for second transistors, allowing each transistor group to have tailored leakage suppression characteristics. This local optimization enables high integration density without compromising individual transistor performance.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Adjacent pixels utilize alternating patterns of first and second well regions, creating a segmented well region architecture. This segmentation ensures that well regions from different pixels are electrically isolated through the alternating pattern, reducing electrical interference while maintaining minimal spacing between pixels for high density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The well region arrangement employs asymmetric positioning where first well regions and second well regions are alternately disposed in different spatial patterns. This asymmetric arrangement breaks potential symmetry-based interference patterns and optimizes the spatial distribution of well regions to minimize electrical coupling between adjacent pixels while maintaining compact pixel dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
