Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a flexible circuit board is connected to a silicon-based OLED using a conventional bonding structure with flat edges, then the assembly process is simple, but the conductive particles are not uniformly dispersed and the electrical connection reliability is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The bonding structure employs a wave-shaped first edge with alternating convex and concave portions instead of a flat edge. This curvature design causes conductive particles to disperse uniformly along the wave pattern during bonding, improving electrical connection reliability while maintaining reasonable structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the geometric parameters of the bonding structure by creating convex portions with specific arc lengths and concave portions with controlled depths. These parameter variations optimize the dispersion of conductive particles and enhance the bonding reliability between the flexible circuit board and silicon-based OLED
2Strength
If reinforcement plates are added to the flexible circuit board to enhance structural integrity, then the structural strength is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible circuit board is segmented into multiple functional layers including the flexible base plate, first wiring layer, and first reinforcement plate. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function while contributing to overall structural integrity, balancing strength enhancement with manageable complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses composite material structures by combining the flexible base plate with the rigid first reinforcement plate. This composite design provides both flexibility and structural strength, improving structural integrity while maintaining the necessary flexibility for VR/AR device integration
3Reliability
If the convex portions and concave portions are made with optimal arc lengths for uniform particle dispersion, then the conductive particle uniformity is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The invention specifies optimal arc length parameters for convex portions and corresponding concave portion dimensions that balance particle dispersion uniformity with manufacturing feasibility. These optimized parameters achieve reliable conductive particle distribution while maintaining reasonable manufacturing precision requirements for mass production
