Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a light conversion layer is added to Micro-LED to achieve color display, then colorization requirement is met, but light intensity distribution becomes uneven

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor display capabilityVSAvoidlight intensity distribution uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating concave-convex structures at specific locations within the light conversion layer. These localized structural variations cause different regions to scatter light differently, with convex portions directing light in certain directions and concave portions in others, thereby achieving uniform overall light distribution while maintaining color conversion functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes curved surfaces through the concave-convex structure design. The rounded convex and concave portions effectively scatter light by multiple reflections and refractions at curved interfaces, preventing direct light transmission and achieving uniform light intensity distribution across the display surface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution enables uniform light intensity distribution, ensuring improved display effects by converting light in a different wavelength range and diffusing it through the concave-convex structure layers, meeting full-color display requirements.
