Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a flexible circuit board is used to connect the display panel and printed circuit board, then the connection is reliable, but the frame width increases and screen ratio decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidframe width
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the flexible circuit board from the connection system between the display panel and printed circuit board. By directly bonding the display panel to the printed circuit board through bonding terminals, the flexible circuit board is removed entirely, thereby reducing frame width while maintaining connection reliability through the direct bonding interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the connection function into the direct bonding interface between the display panel and printed circuit board. The bonding terminals on both components are directly coupled together, combining the connection and signal transmission functions into a single integrated interface, eliminating the need for a separate flexible circuit board and reducing overall frame width.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Length of stationary object

If the frame width is reduced to increase screen ratio, then the visual effects improve, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe widthVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the bonding interface into distinct bonding terminals on both the display panel and printed circuit board. This segmentation allows for precise alignment and independent optimization of each bonding point, simplifying the manufacturing process despite the reduced frame width and increased screen ratio requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the bonding parameters and interface design to accommodate the reduced frame width. By optimizing the bonding terminal dimensions, positioning precision, and bonding process parameters, the manufacturing complexity is managed while achieving the desired reduced frame width and increased screen ratio.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Length of stationary object

If bonding terminals are directly connected without flexible circuit board, then the frame width decreases, but the bonding precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe widthVSAvoidbonding terminal alignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates preliminary positioning structures and pre-alignment features on both the display panel and printed circuit board. These preliminary actions ensure that the bonding terminals are correctly positioned before the actual bonding process, reducing the precision requirements during the bonding operation while maintaining the reduced frame width design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
