Solution Overview

Problem

Existing touch display panels suffer from inadequate touch accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A touch display panel design with a shielding layer between the touch layer and driving backplane, where peripheral touch and driving lines have overlapping areas covered by the shielding layer, receiving the same signal as the electrodes, to isolate signals and improve accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If peripheral touch lines and peripheral driving lines are arranged in overlapping areas to save space, then device area is reduced, but signal interference occurs and touch accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice areaVSAvoidtouch accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

A shielding layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the touch layer and driving backplane. This shielding layer specifically covers the overlapping areas where peripheral touch lines and peripheral driving lines intersect, blocking electromagnetic signal interference while allowing the lines to maintain their overlapping arrangement for space efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding layer is selectively applied only in the overlapping areas where interference occurs, rather than covering the entire device. This localized approach prevents signal interference at critical intersection points while maintaining overall device compactness and minimizing the impact on device area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If shielding layer is added to prevent signal interference, then touch accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch accuracyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding layer is integrated with existing device structures, specifically combining it with the driving backplane or touch layer assembly. This merging approach allows the shielding function to be added without requiring completely separate components, thereby reducing the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding layer serves multiple functions simultaneously: it blocks signal interference between peripheral lines, maintains device compactness by allowing overlapping line arrangements, and can be integrated with existing structural layers. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
