Solution Overview

Problem

Existing spliced display screens suffer from bright lines at splicing gaps due to high brightness, affecting image display performance.

Innovation Solution

A display module with an auxiliary structure disposed at the edge of the light transmission-covering layer to guide light emitted from the edge of the light transmission-covering layer in a direction parallel to the plane, optimizing light distribution and reducing bright lines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Use of energy by moving object

If adjacent display panels are spliced together to form large-size screens, then portability and low power consumption are improved, but splicing gaps appear causing high brightness and affecting image display performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidbrightness at splicing gap
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A light transmission covering layer is introduced as an intermediary component between adjacent display panels. This layer extends beyond the substrate edge and covers the splicing gap, acting as a mediator to block or reduce the light leakage that causes high brightness at splicing gaps, while maintaining the overall spliced display structure's energy efficiency benefits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The light transmission covering layer is selectively positioned only at the edge regions where splicing gaps occur, rather than covering the entire display panel. This localized approach addresses the specific problem of high brightness at splicing gaps without unnecessarily increasing power consumption across the whole display area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Area of stationary object

If adjacent display panels are spliced together, then large-size display capability is improved, but splicing gaps cause high brightness that affects image display performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen sizeVSAvoidbrightness at splicing gap
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The light transmission covering layer serves as an intermediary element that fills or covers the splicing gaps between large display panels. It selectively blocks the harmful light leakage at gap regions while allowing the large-size spliced display structure to maintain its image display capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The light transmission covering layer is divided into multiple sections corresponding to different splicing gaps between adjacent panels. Each segment addresses the local high brightness issue at its respective gap, allowing the overall large-size display to function properly while eliminating the harmful effects at specific locations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
