Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies face challenges in maintaining signal stability due to coupling capacitance between scanning lines and auxiliary power lines, which affects the display performance.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of auxiliary power lines arranged in a zigzag manner in the second direction, avoiding overlap with scanning lines and protrusion portions, reduces coupling capacitance and enhances signal stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If auxiliary power lines are arranged in a straight manner to simplify the structure, then the device complexity is reduced, but coupling capacitance increases between scanning lines and auxiliary power lines, worsening signal stability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal stabilityVSAvoidauxiliary power line arrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The auxiliary power lines are arranged in a zigzag pattern rather than a straight line, creating a curved configuration that avoids direct overlap with scanning lines. This curvature reduces the coupling capacitance between adjacent conductive lines, thereby improving signal stability while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

2Area of stationary object

If auxiliary power lines overlap with scanning lines to reduce the area occupied, then the display panel area is reduced, but coupling capacitance increases, worsening display performance

Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The auxiliary power lines are extended in the second direction (vertical direction) rather than only in the first direction (horizontal direction). This dimensional change allows the lines to bypass overlapping regions with scanning lines while still covering the necessary area, reducing coupling capacitance and improving signal stability without significantly increasing the overall display panel area.
