Samsung patents display layout that keeps electrical lines separate
This filing describes a display panel where light-emitting diodes are arranged in a grid on a base material. It uses small chips to control the lights and includes a specific component called a multi-channel jumper. This jumper sits where multiple electrical wires meet to keep them electrically isolated from one another.
In the filing’s own words
A display apparatus includes: a substrate; a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged on the substrate in a two-dimensional matrix; a plurality of pixel integrated circuits (ICs) each configured to drive a defined number of LEDs; a plurality of LED lines configured to connect the defined number of LEDs and the pixel IC; a scan line configured to transmit and receive scan data between the plurality of pixel ICs; a power line configured to transmit and receive power between the plurality of pixel ICs; and a first multi-channel jumper at a first convergence region, wherein at least three lines among the one or more LED lines, the scan line, and the power line converge at the first convergence region; and wherein the first multi-channel jumper is configured to isolate the at least three lines from each other.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A display apparatus, comprising: a substrate; light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the substrate; a first pixel integrated circuits (ICs) configured to drive one or more of the LEDs; one or more LED lines configured to connect the one or more of the LEDs to the first pixel IC; a scan line configured to transmit and receive scan data between the first pixel IC and one or more second pixel ICs; a power line configured to transmit and receive power between the first pixel IC and the one or more second pixel ICs; and a first multi-channel jumper at a first convergence region, wherein at least three lines among the one or more LED lines, the scan line, and the power line converge at the first convergence region; and wherein the first multi-channel jumper is configured to isolate the at least three lines from each other.
