Solution Overview

Problem

The existing touch display devices face issues with signal interference due to the integration of touch and display signal lines on multi-layer flexible circuit boards, leading to increased thickness, cost, and difficulties in bending, as well as signal attenuation and new interference problems.

Innovation Solution

A touch display device is designed with a touch display substrate and a flexible circuit board, where the touch chip, touch signal line, and touch bonding region are positioned on the same side as the display signal line, preventing intersection and thus eliminating signal interference. The flexible circuit board is configured as a two-layer board, with the display signal line on one layer and the touch signal line on the other, further minimizing interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a multi-layer flexible circuit board is used to avoid signal interference, then signal interference is reduced, but the thickness, cost, and bendability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal interferenceVSAvoidflexible circuit board structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a multi-layer board structure to a single-layer board structure by arranging touch and display signal lines on opposite sides of the flexible circuit board in different spatial dimensions, eliminating the need for multiple layers while preventing signal interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the signal lines into separate groups (touch signal lines and display signal lines) and positions them on opposite sides of the flexible circuit board, creating physical separation that prevents interference while simplifying the overall structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If a multi-layer flexible circuit board is used to avoid signal interference, then signal interference is reduced, but the cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal interferenceVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the touch and display signal line routing into a single-layer flexible circuit board structure, combining what would have been separate multi-layer structures into one unified design that is easier and cheaper to manufacture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If a multi-layer flexible circuit board is used to avoid signal interference, then signal interference is reduced, but the bendability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal interferenceVSAvoidbendability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses spatial arrangement on opposite sides of the board (dimensional separation) to prevent signal interference, which allows the board to remain thin and flexible while maintaining signal isolation without requiring multiple layers that would reduce bendability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

4Device complexity

If touch and display signal lines are arranged on the same side of the flexible circuit board, then the structure is simplified, but signal interference occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexible circuit board structureVSAvoidsignal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent positions touch and display signal lines on opposite sides of the flexible circuit board, using the third dimension (depth/thickness) to separate signal paths and prevent interference while maintaining a simple single-layer structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
