Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a quantum dot film is used to convert blue light to white light, then the backlight module can achieve white light output, but the cost of the backlight assembly increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewhite light outputVSAvoidcost of backlight assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The backlight module segments the white light generation process into multiple independent light-emitting sets, each containing lamp sources that emit different colors (blue, green, red). These segmented light sources directly combine to form white light, eliminating the need for a quantum dot film and reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining white light output quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple lamp sources emitting different colors (blue, green, red) within each light-emitting set to directly produce white light. This combining approach replaces the quantum dot film conversion method, achieving the same white light output function while reducing material costs and simplifying the manufacturing process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Illumination intensity

If a quantum dot film is used for light conversion, then white light can be obtained, but the structure of the backlight module becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewhite light outputVSAvoidstructure of backlight module
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the quantum dot film from the backlight module structure. By using multiple lamp sources that directly emit different colors which combine to form white light, the design eliminates the light conversion layer, simplifying the overall structure while maintaining the white light output function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The backlight module is segmented into multiple light-emitting sets with discrete lamp sources emitting different colors. This segmentation approach eliminates the need for a quantum dot film layer, reducing structural complexity while achieving white light through direct combination of colored lights from the segmented sources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
