Solution Approach 1:

A pressure detection sheet is introduced as an intermediary component between the bonding device and the light emitting element. This sheet contains pressure-sensitive color capsules that change color when pressed, providing visual feedback on pressure distribution without requiring complex electronic sensors or measurement systems. The sheet acts as a mediator that translates mechanical pressure into observable color changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The pressure detection sheet utilizes color-changing capsules that transition from one color to another when subjected to pressure. This allows the bonding pressure distribution to be visualized through color patterns, eliminating the need for complex electronic detection systems. The color change provides immediate, intuitive feedback on whether uniform pressure is applied during bonding.

Solution Approach 1:

The invention replaces complex electronic image analysis systems with a simpler optical approach. A microscope photographs the pressure detection sheet, and the color developing areas are detected by comparing the photographed image with a reference image. This substitution of mechanical/optical methods for electronic processing reduces system complexity while maintaining detection precision.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The detection process creates a visual copy (photograph) of the pressure detection sheet's color pattern. By comparing this photographic copy with a reference image, the system can precisely detect color developing areas without requiring complex real-time analysis equipment. The copying approach simplifies the detection mechanism while preserving measurement accuracy.
