Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If fluorescent powder gel is used to coat excitation chips, then the white light source can be easily manufactured, but the poor thermal conducting performance leads to thermal aging and reduced light quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the fluorescent powder gel layer from the structure, replacing it with a reflective dam body and solid-state phosphor arrangement. This extraction eliminates the thermal conductivity problem while maintaining the white light generation function through alternative means (direct phosphor excitation without gel medium).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a reflective dam body as an intermediary structure between the excitation chips and the environment. This reflective structure serves as a mediator that redirects light and heat away from the chip array, improving thermal management and light extraction efficiency without requiring thermal-conductive gel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If a single chip is used, then the structure is simple, but the luminous flux is insufficient for illumination applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidluminous flux
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the light source into multiple discrete excitation chips arranged in an array configuration. Each chip operates independently but contributes to the total luminous flux. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high brightness levels required for illumination while maintaining manageable structural complexity through standardized chip designs and systematic arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple excitation chips into a single integrated array structure mounted on a common substrate with shared reflective and phosphor elements. This merging approach consolidates the functional output of individual chips to achieve the required luminous flux for illumination applications while sharing common support infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If large-power LED modules are developed with high integration, then the luminous flux increases, but the heat drainage becomes more challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous fluxVSAvoidheat drainage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from planar heat dissipation to three-dimensional heat management by positioning the chip array in a spatial configuration that utilizes vertical and lateral dimensions. The reflective dam body and phosphor distribution create multiple light extraction paths and heat dissipation routes in different dimensions, effectively managing thermal load in high-power integrated modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful heat and light radiation from the chip array into beneficial effects by using the reflective dam body to redirect both. The same structure that manages light extraction also facilitates heat dissipation by directing thermal energy away from the chip junctions, turning potential thermal problems into active heat management features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

AI summary

A die-bonding substrate has a substrate, and a conductive line layer and a chip array provided on the substrate. The conductive line layer includes a chip welding wire region and an external electrode region connected with each other. The chip welding wire region is composed of multiple conductive lines, wherein the central conductive line located in the central position of the chip welding wire region is a straight line section. The conductive lines arranged at both sides of the central conductive line are straight line sections at both ends, and arc sections curved outwards in the middle, so that the entire chip welding wire region forms a circular area. The array chips are arranged inside the circular area, and are electrically connected with the conductive lines arranged at both sides. The entire chip welding wire region can also form a rectangular area.
