Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a multi-layer substrate is used for active matrix driving method, then the display apparatus can control a plurality of pixels with high definition, but the manufacturing difficulty increases and yield decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the substrate structure by separating the pixel array from the driving circuit. The pixel array is formed on a first substrate while the driving circuit is integrated on a second substrate, which are then bonded together. This segmentation eliminates the need for complex multi-layer wiring within a single substrate, reducing manufacturing difficulty while maintaining high display definition through the segmented architecture.
2Measurement precision
If a multi-layer substrate is used for active matrix driving method, then the display apparatus can control a plurality of pixels with high definition, but the manufacturing yield decreases
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the display apparatus into separate pixel array and driving circuit modules on different substrates, the patent enables independent manufacturing and testing of each module. This segmentation improves manufacturing yield by allowing defective modules to be identified and replaced without scrapping the entire display, while still achieving high definition through the integrated architecture.
3Ease of operation
If a multi-layer substrate is used for active matrix driving method, then the display apparatus can control a plurality of pixels, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the pixel array and driving circuit onto a single display structure through substrate bonding, eliminating the need for separate multi-layer wiring within one substrate. This merging approach reduces manufacturing cost by simplifying the substrate fabrication process while maintaining full pixel control capability through the integrated architecture.
4Productivity
If segmented sub-data lines are used on a single-layer wiring layer, then the manufacturing yield improves and costs reduce, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data lines into multiple sub-data lines on a single-layer wiring layer, with each sub-data line connecting to corresponding pixel electrodes. This segmentation improves manufacturing yield by simplifying the wiring layer fabrication process while managing complexity through systematic routing patterns that distribute signals efficiently across the display array.
