Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If conventional splicing technology is used for large-size OLED displays, then large display size can be achieved, but frame size becomes large and process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel is divided into multiple independent display components (first display component, second display component, etc.) that can be separately manufactured and then spliced together. Each display component has its own connection terminals that interface with the driving backplane, enabling modular assembly that simplifies the overall manufacturing process while achieving large display sizes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The driving backplane serves multiple functions: it provides the driving circuit layer for controlling display components, contains connection terminals for electrical connection, and acts as a substrate for mounting multiple display components. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and simplifies the overall structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Area of stationary object

If conventional splicing technology is used for large-size OLED displays, then large display size can be achieved, but frame size becomes large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidframe size
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The connection terminals of adjacent display components are bound together and integrated with the driving backplane connection terminals. This merging of connection structures eliminates the need for separate frame structures to hold and connect components, reducing frame size while maintaining structural integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection terminals extend in multiple directions (first direction and second direction) from the display components to the driving backplane, utilizing two-dimensional spatial arrangement rather than linear connection. This allows for compact integration and reduced frame dimensions

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

3Area of stationary object

If conventional splicing technology is used for large-size OLED displays, then large display size can be achieved, but manufacturing difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidmanufacturing difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The connection terminals are pre-formed on each display component during the component manufacturing process, and the driving backplane is prepared with corresponding connection structures before final assembly. This preliminary preparation of connection interfaces simplifies the splicing process and reduces manufacturing difficulty

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The driving backplane acts as an intermediary structure that interfaces between multiple display components and the driving integrated circuit. It provides a standardized connection interface that simplifies the coupling of components and reduces the complexity of direct component-to-component connections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
