Solution Approach 1:

The substrate is divided into distinct emission area and non-emission area, with transistors and signal lines segregated to the non-emission area. This spatial segmentation allows the emission area to remain clear for light transmission, achieving bezel-less design while maintaining complete device functionality through proper functional zoning.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes vertical layering to separate different functional components. Transistors and signal lines are positioned in lower layers or dedicated non-emission zones, while the emission area remains optically clear. This dimensional separation resolves the conflict between functional integration and optical performance.
