Solution Overview

Problem

Existing tiled display devices suffer from noticeable gaps between adjacent display panels, which detract from the overall display effect.

Innovation Solution

The display panels are designed with transparent parts that overlap their tiling edges, minimizing the visibility of gaps between adjacent panels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If display panels are tiled together to provide a large display area, then the display area is increased, but noticeable gaps appear between adjacent panels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidvisibility of gaps
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the color change principle by making the peripheral edges of transparent parts at the tiling edges transparent or having different optical properties from the non-transparent display area. This allows light to pass through the gap regions, making the gaps between adjacent display panels less noticeable and improving the overall visual appearance of the tiled display structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If transparent parts are added to the display panels to minimize gap visibility, then the display effect is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility of gapsVSAvoidpanel structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing each display panel into distinct regions: a non-transparent display area and transparent peripheral edges at the tiling edges. This segmentation allows each region to serve its specific function - the non-transparent area for displaying content and the transparent edges for minimizing the visibility of gaps between panels - while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The disclosure provides a display panel and a tiled display device. The display panel has a tiling edge and includes a non-transparent part and a transparent part. The transparent part has a peripheral edge. At least a portion of the peripheral edge of the transparent part is overlapped with the tiling edge. The tiled display device includes a plurality of display panels tiled together by the tiling edges thereof.
