Solution Overview

Problem

In display apparatuses, such as mobile phones, signal interference between electronic components and signal lines and the antenna is a significant challenge that existing technologies have not adequately addressed, affecting signal transmission and reception.

Innovation Solution

The display apparatus incorporates a touch film with a touch electrode, a circuit board, and a bending portion with bonding pin groups and redundant pin groups arranged to minimize interference by creating a wiring blank area near the antenna feed point, allowing for a more compact and interference-reduced design.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If electronic components and signal lines are provided in the display apparatus, then the display functionality is improved, but signal interference with the antenna increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay functionalityVSAvoidsignal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the touch circuit board from the main display structure and positions it separately at the side of the display panel, away from the antenna. This spatial separation removes the interfering components (touch circuit board with signal lines) from the antenna's vicinity, thereby reducing signal interference while preserving display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent repositions the touch circuit board from a conventional location near the antenna to a side location along the thickness dimension and lateral dimension of the display apparatus. By utilizing the side space dimension, the design creates spatial separation between interfering components and the antenna, reducing electromagnetic interference while maintaining compact form factor.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the antenna is located on the display panel, then wireless communication capability is improved, but signal interference from nearby components increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless communication capabilityVSAvoidsignal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the touch circuit board (source of interference) from the antenna's vicinity and positions it at the side of the display panel. This extraction removes the harmful interfering components from the antenna's operational space, allowing the antenna to function with improved signal quality while maintaining wireless communication capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a wiring blank area as an intermediary zone between the antenna and the touch circuit board. This blank area acts as a buffer that further reduces electromagnetic coupling and interference, mediating the interaction between the antenna and nearby components to improve signal quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Volume of moving object

If components are arranged compactly in the display apparatus, then device size is reduced, but signal interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidsignal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the side space dimension of the display apparatus to position the touch circuit board, rather than confining all components to the front plane. This dimensional redistribution allows compact overall device size while creating sufficient separation between the antenna and interfering components in three-dimensional space.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the display apparatus into distinct functional zones: the main display area with the antenna, and the side area with the touch circuit board. This segmentation allows each component to be positioned optimally for its function while maintaining compact overall device dimensions through efficient spatial organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
