Solution Approach 1:

A heat dissipation unit is introduced as an intermediary component between the driving chip and the main circuit board. This heat dissipation unit directly contacts both the driving chip and the main circuit board, serving as a thermal conduit to transfer heat away from the driving chip to the main circuit board for dissipation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The heat dissipation function is extracted from the main circuit board and implemented as a separate, dedicated heat dissipation unit. This allows the heat dissipation functionality to be optimized independently while maintaining its integration with both the driving chip and the main circuit board.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 1:

The heat dissipation unit is merged with the driving chip assembly as an integrated component. The heat dissipation unit directly contacts both the driving chip and the main circuit board, combining multiple functions (heat dissipation, structural support, and electrical connection) into a single component, thereby reducing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
