Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the scintillator is indirectly formed on the circuit layer through adhering, then the scintillator can be formed on the substrate, but there will be relatively a large number of layers between the scintillator and the circuit layer, and air bubbles are likely to be generated, reducing quantum efficiency and resolution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantum efficiency and resolutionVSAvoidnumber of layers
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the intermediate substrate layer from the structure. By directly forming the scintillator on the circuit layer without using a separate substrate for indirect growth, the patent eliminates multiple intermediate layers and potential air bubbles, thereby improving quantum efficiency and resolution while reducing structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the substrate function with the circuit layer by directly forming the scintillator on the circuit layer. This integration eliminates the need for separate substrate and adhesive layers, reducing the total number of layers and improving light transmission efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If the scintillator is directly formed on the glass substrate carrying the circuit layer by evaporation, then the scintillator can be directly grown on the circuit layer, but the glass substrate is heavy and unable to withstand the impact of a fall

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantum efficiency and resolutionVSAvoidweight and impact resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter of the substrate from heavy glass to lightweight flexible materials such as flexible printed circuit boards or thin metal foils. This parameter change maintains the structural support function while significantly reducing weight and improving impact resistance, making the detection panel suitable for wearable and portable applications

Inventive Principle:
