Solution Overview

Problem

In OLED TDDI products, the conventional arrangement of pins leads to the intersection of touch traces and gate on array traces, causing signal interference and reducing touch performance.

Innovation Solution

The touch display substrate design includes a first and second peripheral area with specific pin arrangements and non-overlapping test leads, ensuring that the orthographic projections of array test leads do not overlap with touch test leads, thereby preventing signal crosstalk.

1Reliability

If conventional pin arrangement is used, then device complexity is reduced, but signal interference occurs causing touch performance degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch performanceVSAvoidpin arrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The pin areas are segmented into distinct functional zones: first gate drive circuit pin area, first touch pin area, second gate drive circuit pin area, and second touch pin area. This segmentation allows independent routing of gate signals and touch signals through separate test leads, preventing signal interference while maintaining organized device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces spatial separation in the layout dimension by positioning pin areas and routing test leads along different paths. The first and second test leads are routed to connect respective pin areas without overlapping, utilizing dimensional arrangement to avoid signal crosstalk between gate and touch circuits.

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

2Reliability

If test leads are arranged without overlapping projections, then signal interference is prevented, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal integrityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The pin areas are pre-positioned and designed with predetermined locations before manufacturing. The first gate drive circuit pin area, first touch pin area, second gate drive circuit pin area, and second touch pin area are established in advance with their spatial relationships defined, enabling straightforward fabrication without complex post-processing adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If binding areas are positioned away from active area, then signal interference is reduced, but device area increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal isolationVSAvoidsubstrate area
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The first binding area and second binding area are positioned adjacent to each other in the peripheral region, merging their functions for binding external circuits while maintaining spatial separation from the active display area. This consolidation efficiently utilizes the peripheral space without excessive area expansion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
