Display Subpixel Connection Structure for Signal Reliability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses, particularly OLED displays, face challenges in maintaining high display quality due to the risk of subpixel disconnection, which affects the reliability and consistency of image rendering.
Innovation Solution
A modified connection structure for subpixels is introduced, where a first driving circuit supplies gate signals through different lines at distinct times, and a second driving circuit provides data signals to subpixels in a synchronized manner, ensuring stable and efficient signal transmission and reducing the risk of disconnection.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional single-line connection structure is used for subpixels, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability of signal transmission deteriorates due to disconnection risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the subpixel connection structure into multiple independent connection paths (first connection path and second connection path). Each path has separate gate lines and data lines, so that if one path experiences disconnection, the other path can still transmit signals to the subpixel, thereby improving reliability without requiring a complete redesign of the entire connection system.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple driving circuits are used to supply signals at different times, then the display quality is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs periodic action by dividing the display refresh cycle into different time periods. The first driving circuit supplies gate signals during a first time period, while the second driving circuit supplies gate signals during a second time period. This time-division multiplexing approach allows multiple driving circuits to operate without constant interference, improving display quality while managing complexity through temporal separation.
3Reliability
If subpixels are connected to different lines at different times, then the risk of disconnection is reduced, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing multiple connection paths with predetermined timing sequences before actual operation. The first and second driving circuits are configured in advance to supply signals at different time periods, and the connection structure is designed beforehand to accommodate these temporal differences. This preliminary configuration reduces the risk of disconnection during operation while managing manufacturing precision requirements through advance planning.

AI summary
A display apparatus and a display panel thereof are provided. The display apparatus includes a first driving circuit supplying a gate signal through a first line at a first time and supplying the gate signal through a second line at a second time, a display panel including a first pixel including a first subpixel connected to the first line, a second subpixel connected to the second line, and a third subpixel connected to the first line, and a second driving circuit supplying a data signal to the first subpixel and the third subpixel at the first time and supplying the data signal to the second subpixel at the second time. Accordingly, each of subpixels configuring a pixel may be connected to a gate line adjacent thereto, and thus, short circuit may be prevented from occurring when all of subpixels are connected to one gate line.
