Solution Overview

Problem

The uneven heat distribution between integrated circuits (ICs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in display devices leads to deformation and folding of the layer structure due to inadequate heat dissipation, particularly with the use of LEDs with low light conversion efficiency and high heat generation.

Innovation Solution

A backlight module is designed with a rubber frame, a reflective film spaced apart from an optical component by an adhesive, and a heat-conductive film layer, along with a blocking wall and groove structure to enhance heat dissipation, preventing heat superposition and maintaining uniform heating.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the harmful heat away from the display device by introducing a dedicated heat dissipation chamber that isolates and channels heat from LEDs and ICs into a separate space, allowing heat to be removed without affecting display quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces heat dissipation channels and thermal management structures as intermediary elements between the heat-generating components (LEDs and ICs) and the display layers, mediating heat transfer away from sensitive areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Temperature

If heat dissipation structures are added to improve heat dissipation, then heat dissipation capability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The rubber frame serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the display device, creates the heat dissipation chamber, and acts as a thermal management component, thereby improving heat dissipation without adding separate structural elements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the heat dissipation function with existing structural components by forming the heat dissipation chamber within the rubber frame and integrating heat dissipation channels into the frame structure, avoiding additional complex components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
