Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of stationary object

If the distance between the touch panel and the display panel is reduced to achieve device thinning, then the device thickness is reduced, but electromagnetic interferences between the touch panel and the display panel increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice thicknessVSAvoidelectromagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by using different synchronization frequencies for display scanning and touch scanning. The display panel operates at a first synchronization frequency while the touch panel operates at a second synchronization frequency, creating periodic action patterns that prevent electromagnetic interference accumulation. This frequency separation allows both panels to operate simultaneously without mutual interference, resolving the contradiction between reduced distance and increased interference.

2Measurement precision

If the touch sensing frequency is increased to improve touch sensing results, then the touch sensing quality is improved, but electromagnetic interferences from the display panel become more severe

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the synchronization frequency parameter of the touch panel. Instead of increasing the touch sensing frequency arbitrarily, the system changes the frequency parameter to a specific second synchronization frequency that is different from the display panel's first synchronization frequency. This parameter adjustment maintains high touch sensing quality while avoiding electromagnetic interference resonance with the display panel.
