Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If a flexible light panel with a magnet is attached to a curved bracket to obtain the required curved shape, then the curved shape is achieved, but the flexible light panel becomes recessed due to magnetic adsorption, negatively impacting display quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurved shapeVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the magnet from the curved bracket structure. Instead of using magnetic adsorption to attach the flexible light panel, the design employs a non-magnetic curved bracket that provides structural support and curvature while eliminating the harmful magnetic field that causes panel recession and display quality degradation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a non-magnetic curved bracket as an intermediary between the support structure and the flexible light panel. This intermediary component provides the necessary curvature and structural support without introducing magnetic fields, thereby mediating between the need for curved shape and the need to maintain display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Area of stationary object

If multiple curved modules are spliced together to form a large display, then the display area is increased, but the assembly complexity and stability challenges increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the large curved display into multiple standardized curved modules, each with a fixed curvature radius and structural configuration. These modular units can be independently manufactured and then spliced together to form larger display areas, reducing overall assembly complexity through standardization and modularity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The curved bracket design serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, maintains the curved shape, eliminates magnetic interference, and facilitates module splicing through standardized connection interfaces. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed and simplifies the overall assembly process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of manufacture

If curved modules are fixed using traditional methods, then assembly is achieved, but the modules may be inclined by external forces, reducing stability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly convenienceVSAvoidmodule stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs curved brackets with optimized curvature radii that match the flexible light panels. This geometric compatibility ensures that the modules naturally align and interlock when spliced together, providing inherent stability against external forces while maintaining ease of assembly through simple connection mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)
