Solution Overview

Problem

The existing display device manufacturing process is complex and costly due to the need for additional interface units to connect the main board to multiple display units, increasing the number of manufacturing stages and defect probability.

Innovation Solution

The display device integrates connecting units directly on the main board and display units, allowing for direct connections without separate interface units, reducing the number of components and manufacturing processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If separate interface units are used to connect the main board to multiple display units, then connection functionality is achieved, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnecting structureVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate interface units into a single integrated interface unit that can simultaneously connect the main board to multiple display units. This merging reduces the total number of components and simplifies the connecting structure while maintaining all necessary connection functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The interface unit is designed with multi-functionality to handle connections to multiple different display units through a single component. This universal interface can adapt to connect with various display units, eliminating the need for separate dedicated interface units for each display connection.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If additional interface units are added to connect multiple display units, then connection capability is improved, but manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay unit connection capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple interface units are merged into one integrated interface unit that provides the same connection capabilities. This consolidation reduces component count and assembly steps, directly lowering manufacturing costs while preserving the ability to connect to multiple display units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The single interface unit is designed to perform multiple connection functions simultaneously, adapting to connect with different display units. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for multiple specialized interface units, reducing material and manufacturing expenses.

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

3Reliability

If separate interface units and additional connecting processes are used, then connection functionality is achieved, but the number of manufacturing stages increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By merging multiple interface units into one, the number of assembly operations is reduced. Instead of performing separate connecting processes for each interface unit, the manufacturing process requires fewer stages, improving productivity and reducing the probability of defects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate interface units are used, then connection capability is improved, but the probability of defects increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay unit connection capabilityVSAvoiddefect probability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Consolidating multiple interface units into a single integrated unit reduces the total number of potential failure points. Fewer separate components mean fewer opportunities for defects to occur during manufacturing and operation, thereby improving overall reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
