Solution Overview

Problem

Current touch-control display panels suffer from low accuracy due to varying load and signal impedance differences among lead wires, which are exacerbated by limited wiring space in the peripheral region, affecting the precision of touch-control operations.

Innovation Solution

A touch-control structure with lead wires featuring narrowing portions and insulation design, including first and second lead wires connected to touch-control electrodes, where the cross section of at least part of the first lead wires is reduced to increase resistance uniformity, and insulation is provided to prevent short circuits and improve signal uniformity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If lead wires are arranged in limited peripheral space, then wiring space utilization is improved, but resistance uniformity deteriorates due to varying lead wire lengths

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring spaceVSAvoidresistance uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by introducing narrowing portions at specific locations along the lead wires. These narrowing portions locally increase the resistance of individual lead wires to compensate for length differences, thereby achieving uniform total resistance across all lead wires while maintaining compact peripheral wiring space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical parameter of the lead wire cross-sectional area by introducing narrowing portions. This parameter change allows precise control of individual lead wire resistance values, enabling resistance uniformity to be achieved despite variations in lead wire lengths caused by different routing paths in the limited peripheral space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility
