Solution Overview

Problem

The uniformity of signals transmitted by touch lines in touch display panels is adversely affected due to varying resistances and capacitances caused by different lengths and cross-sectional areas of touch lines, leading to reduced touch accuracy.

Innovation Solution

The touch display panel design includes touch lines with varying cross-sectional areas and lengths, with specific ratios and through holes in the conductive layer to maintain consistent resistances and parasitic capacitances, ensuring uniform signal transmission and improved touch accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If touch lines have different lengths and cross-sectional areas to accommodate varying paths, then the layout flexibility and connectivity are improved, but the resistance and capacitance uniformity deteriorate, leading to reduced touch accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelayout flexibilityVSAvoidtouch accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making different parts of the touch line structure have different properties. Specifically, the conductive layer has different opening areas at different locations corresponding to different touch lines, allowing each touch line to have customized resistance and capacitance characteristics while maintaining overall uniformity in signal transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes physical parameters of the conductive layer by creating through holes with different opening areas. This parameter change allows the touch lines with different lengths and cross-sectional areas to achieve uniform resistance and capacitance values, thereby maintaining touch accuracy while preserving layout flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If through holes in the conductive layer have different opening areas to compensate for touch line variations, then the resistance and capacitance uniformity are improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal uniformityVSAvoidthrough hole fabrication precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces the conductive layer with through holes as an intermediary element between the touch lines and the substrate. By adjusting the opening areas of these through holes, the patent compensates for variations in touch line lengths and cross-sectional areas, achieving uniform signal transmission while providing a manufacturable approach through standard photolithography processes.
