Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If baffle wall structures are added around light-emitting elements, then mutual crosstalk is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemutual crosstalkVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel is segmented into independent light-emitting units by introducing baffle wall structures between adjacent light-emitting elements. These baffles physically divide the light paths, preventing light from one element from interfering with adjacent elements, thus reducing mutual crosstalk while maintaining a modular structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Baffle wall structures serve as intermediary elements positioned between adjacent light-emitting elements. These intermediaries block and redirect light paths, preventing direct light interference between neighboring elements. The baffles act as mediators that control light propagation without requiring fundamental changes to the light-emitting elements themselves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If first auxiliary structures are added to raise light-emitting elements, then crosstalk through gaps is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrosstalk through gapsVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first auxiliary structures elevate light-emitting elements from the substrate plane to a higher dimension. By raising the light-emitting elements vertically, the design creates additional spatial separation between the light sources and the substrate plane, effectively reducing crosstalk through gaps while utilizing the third dimension for structural optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The first auxiliary structures are pre-configured to raise light-emitting elements before light emission occurs. This preliminary structural arrangement ensures that light-emitting elements are positioned at optimal heights to prevent crosstalk through gaps, establishing the correct spatial configuration in advance rather than requiring dynamic adjustment during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Illumination intensity

If baffle wall structures are introduced, then light direction is controlled, but light utilization may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight direction controlVSAvoidlight utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The baffle wall structures are designed with specific geometric parameters including height, width, and spacing that are optimized to control light direction while minimizing light loss. By adjusting these parameters, the design achieves effective light path control to prevent crosstalk while maintaining high light utilization efficiency through precise dimensional optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The baffle wall structures implement local quality control by positioning light-blocking and light-redistributing features only where needed between adjacent light-emitting elements. Rather than uniformly blocking all light, the baffles are strategically designed to redirect light locally, ensuring that light is controlled in critical areas while preserving light output in desired directions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
