Solution Overview

Problem

Existing light emitting baseplate manufacturing methods face challenges in evenly distributing supporting forces during the transfer of light emitting units, leading to potential tilting or shifting, which can result in deviation from the predetermined bonding position and reduced yield.

Innovation Solution

The use of symmetrically distributed supporting columns on the light emitting units, combined with a method involving a transfer baseplate with dissociation layers and adhesive layers, where the supporting columns are pressed onto the baseplate body after light emitting units are disposed on the adhesive layers, ensuring even support and preventing tilting or shifting during transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If supporting columns are added to support light emitting units during transfer, then positioning stability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning stabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting columns are pre-formed on the light emitting units before the transfer process. This preliminary preparation ensures that when the units are transferred to the substrate, the supporting columns are already in position to provide stable support and prevent tilting or shifting, thereby improving positioning stability without adding complexity during the transfer operation itself

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting columns act as intermediary structures between the light emitting units and the substrate. These columns provide a stable interface that distributes the supporting force evenly, preventing direct contact issues between the units and substrate while maintaining positioning stability during the transfer process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If symmetrically distributed supporting columns are used, then positioning accuracy is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

While the overall arrangement of supporting columns follows a symmetric distribution pattern to ensure even force distribution, the supporting columns themselves may have asymmetric cross-sectional shapes or orientations optimized for their specific positions. This combination maintains positioning accuracy through symmetric distribution while managing manufacturing complexity through standardized column designs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting force is segmented into multiple discrete supporting columns distributed symmetrically across the light emitting units. This segmentation allows each column to be manufactured using standardized processes while collectively providing the required positioning accuracy through their symmetric arrangement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
