Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If the display driving circuit is bonded at the edge of the special-shaped display panel, then the frame width is reduced and effective display area is increased, but the wiring complexity increases due to irregular shape

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffective display areaVSAvoidwiring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel is divided into a rectangular region and a special-shaped region, with data lines segmented into vertical data lines in the rectangular region and oblique data lines in the special-shaped region. This segmentation allows each region to have optimized wiring patterns, reducing overall wiring complexity while maximizing display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The data lines transition from vertical arrangement in the rectangular region to oblique arrangement in the special-shaped region, changing the dimensional orientation of signal transmission. This dimensional adaptation allows the wiring to conform to the irregular shape while maintaining efficient signal distribution.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the display panel is designed with irregular shape for special applications, then the adaptability and commercial value are improved, but the manufacturing precision and signal distribution become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshape adaptabilityVSAvoidsignal distribution precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the display panel are assigned different wiring characteristics: the rectangular region uses standard vertical data lines for precise manufacturing, while the special-shaped region uses oblique data lines adapted to its geometry. This local differentiation maintains manufacturing precision in each region while achieving overall shape adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The display panel employs asymmetric wiring patterns where vertical data lines in the rectangular region transition to oblique data lines in the special-shaped region. This asymmetric design allows the panel to accommodate irregular shapes while maintaining precise signal distribution through region-specific optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
