Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Tiled display devices suffer from reduced display quality due to bezels at connection portions between display panels, causing image cutoff and discontinuity.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a tiled display device with a data distributor and scan driver disposed between pixels, along with pixel circuits positioned to minimize dead space and maintain uniform pixel intervals, ensuring seamless image continuity across panels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If display panels are connected to form a large-screen display, then the screen size is increased, but bezels appear at connection portions causing image discontinuity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the bezel structure from the connection portions between display panels. By eliminating the bezel that causes visual discontinuity, the invention achieves seamless image continuity across multiple panels while maintaining the large-screen display area.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges adjacent display panels by positioning pixel circuits of one panel to overlap with light emitting elements of adjacent panels. This overlapping arrangement eliminates visible boundaries and creates a unified large-screen display without bezels.
2Area of stationary object
If pixel circuits are disposed between light emitting elements, then dead space is reduced, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the vertical dimension by disposing pixel circuits at different positions relative to light emitting elements. Specifically, pixel circuits of odd-numbered rows are disposed above light emitting elements while even-numbered rows are disposed below, effectively utilizing vertical space to minimize dead space without complicating horizontal manufacturing processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention segments the display panel into odd-numbered and even-numbered pixel rows with different circuit arrangements. This segmentation allows for systematic minimization of dead space while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through standardized production processes for each segment type.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If scan drivers and data distributors are disposed between pixels, then image continuity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functional components that serve both driving and signal distribution functions. The scan driver and data distributor are integrated into the pixel circuit structure, allowing these components to perform multiple functions simultaneously and reduce overall device complexity while ensuring image continuity across panel boundaries.
