Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple LED chips (red, green, blue) and electric components onto a single circuit substrate, integrating display functionality into one compact module. This merging approach achieves full-color display capability while maintaining a small form factor suitable for mobile device applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The circuit substrate serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical support for LED chips, electrical connections through conductive channels and pads, and houses additional electric components for enhanced functionality. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and contributes to compact design.

Inventive Principle:
