Solution Overview

Problem

Existing transparent display panels suffer from poor display effects due to gaps and air bubbles formed during the encapsulation process, leading to optical interference, dispersion, and reduced transmission rates.

Innovation Solution

A display panel design featuring a drive backplate with drive circuit regions and transparent regions, where the transparent regions include concave parts filled with light-transmissive glue. The glue's refractive index varies in a specific manner, and its surface is positioned on the side of the pads away from the substrate, ensuring proper coverage and reducing gaps.

1Reliability

If encapsulation glue is used to fill the concave parts, then the gaps and air bubbles are reduced, but the optical interference and dispersion occur due to refractive index mismatch

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencapsulation qualityVSAvoidoptical interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the refractive index parameter of the encapsulation glue by creating a gradient distribution (1.45-1.55 in the concave parts and 1.35-1.45 in the flat parts) to match the optical properties of the underlying layers, thereby reducing optical interference and dispersion while maintaining reliable encapsulation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different refractive index characteristics to different regions: the concave parts have a higher refractive index (1.45-1.55) to match the drive circuit layer, while the flat parts have a lower refractive index (1.35-1.45), creating localized optical property optimization that eliminates interference without compromising encapsulation integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If the encapsulation glue surface is positioned at the pad level, then the coverage is improved, but the manufacturing precision is reduced due to difficulty in controlling the filling process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveglue surface positioningVSAvoidfilling process control
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-forming concave parts in the drive backplate at specific positions and depths before the encapsulation process. This pre-structured geometry guides the encapsulation glue to naturally fill to the correct level, making the surface positioning automatic and eliminating the need for post-filling adjustment, thus achieving both high precision and ease of manufacture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The concave parts act as an intermediary structure that mediates between the drive circuit layer and the encapsulation glue. The geometry of these concave parts controls the glue filling process, ensuring the glue surface automatically aligns with the pad level without requiring complex control mechanisms, thereby simplifying manufacturing while maintaining precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
