Solution Overview

Problem

Transparent display devices face challenges in maximizing the transparent region and minimizing the bezel size due to the presence of non-transparent and thick lines, which limit the slimming of the bezel and reduce the size of the transparent region.

Innovation Solution

A transparent display panel design where the VSS voltage lines are connected across the display region, allowing the omission of non-transparent lines on the sides, thereby increasing the transparent region and enabling a slim bezel by reducing the area occupied by these lines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If non-transparent and thick lines are disposed in the bezel to supply data voltage or power voltage, then electrical connection is ensured, but the transparent region size is reduced and the bezel cannot be slimmed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectionVSAvoidtransparent region size
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the VSS voltage lines from the bezel region and relocates them to extend across the display region. This separation removes the obstructive non-transparent lines from the bezel, allowing the transparent region to be maximized while maintaining electrical connections through the relocated lines in the display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If non-transparent and thick lines are disposed in the bezel to supply data voltage or power voltage, then electrical connection is ensured, but the bezel size cannot be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectionVSAvoidbezel size
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the VSS voltage lines from the bezel region and relocates them to extend across the display region. This separation removes the obstructive non-transparent lines from the bezel, allowing the bezel to be slimmed while maintaining electrical connections through the relocated lines in the display area.

Inventive Principle:

3Reliability

If non-transparent lines are present in the bezel, then voltage supply is ensured, but the aesthetic appearance is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage supplyVSAvoidaesthetic appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the non-transparent VSS voltage lines from the bezel region and relocates them to the display region. This removal of non-transparent elements from the bezel improves the aesthetic appearance and transparency of the device frame, while the voltage supply function is maintained through the relocated lines that extend across the display area.

AI summary

A transparent display panel and a transparent display device including the same are disclosed. In a transparent display panel, a VSS voltage line does not surround an outer periphery of a display region. Rather, upper and lower VSS voltage lines respectively disposed on upper and lower sides to the display region are electrically connected to each other via at least one VSS voltage connection line extending across the display region. Thus, left and right non-transparent and thick VSS voltage lines disposed on the left and right sides to the display region may be omitted. Thus, a transparent region of the transparent display panel and a bezel of a transparent display device may be increased or maximized or the bezel thereof may be made slim.
