Problem

Magnetic fields generated by shielding electrodes can decrease the charging efficiency of charging electrodes and cause interference with pixel driving in display devices.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a shielding pattern having a specific thickness and slits is designed to overlap the charging electrode, ensuring that the shielding pattern's thickness satisfies the relation T1≤(DABC)1/2, where T1 represents the thickness, A is pi, B is permeability, C is frequency, and D is resistivity, and the shielding pattern is divided into sections by slits to form a current path that minimizes magnetic interference.

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding pattern is divided into multiple sections by slits, transforming a continuous shielding structure into segmented sections. This segmentation allows the shielding pattern to block magnetic fields while reducing the formation of large eddy currents that would otherwise attenuate the charging magnetic field, thereby maintaining charging efficiency while providing magnetic shielding.

Inventive Principle:
