Solution Overview

Problem

Current special-shaped display screens suffer from jagged edges due to conventional RGB rectangular pixel structures, which are more pronounced in lower resolution products, leading to suboptimal display quality.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a special-shaped display screen design that incorporates triangular and rectangular sub-pixel units arranged alternately in face-up and face-down configurations within distinct display areas, creating a seamless effective display area that mitigates jagged edges.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If conventional RGB rectangular pixel structures are used in special-shaped display areas, then manufacturing is simple and consistent with standard displays, but jagged edges appear and display quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel structure consistencyVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different pixel structures to different regions: rectangular pixels in the main display area and triangular pixels in the special-shaped area. This local differentiation allows each region to have optimal characteristics - rectangular pixels for standard manufacturing and triangular pixels for seamless special-shaped display edges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The display area is segmented into a first display area with rectangular pixels and a second display area with triangular pixels. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each region's pixel structure to meet different functional requirements while maintaining overall display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If triangular pixel units are used in special-shaped display area, then jagged edges are eliminated and display quality improves, but pixel structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidpixel structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces asymmetric triangular pixel units in the special-shaped display area to eliminate the symmetric rectangular pixel structure that causes jagged edges. The triangular shape with alternating face-up and face-down configurations provides seamless edges while maintaining manageable structural complexity through regular patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from conventional two-dimensional rectangular pixel arrangements to a three-dimensional configuration by alternating face-up and face-down triangular pixel units. This dimensional change enables seamless special-shaped display edges while organizing complexity into a regular, manufacturable pattern.

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