Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the driving circuit is positioned close to the functional element to reduce signal loss, then the signal transmission quality is improved, but the component uniformity and seamless appearance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by positioning the driving circuit's geometric center at specific distances from the functional element's geometric center based on the element unit's location. Edge element units have different positioning requirements compared to internal element units, allowing optimized signal transmission in critical areas while maintaining overall uniformity through standardized positioning rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces asymmetry in the positioning of driving circuits relative to functional elements. Instead of symmetric placement, the driving circuit's geometric center is deliberately offset from the functional element's geometric center by specific distances (first distance for first direction, second distance for second direction), creating an asymmetric layout that optimizes both signal transmission and seamless appearance.
2Shape
If the driving circuit is positioned away from the edge to improve seamless appearance, then the visual seamless experience is improved, but the signal transmission distance increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating positioning requirements based on the element unit's location within the substrate. Edge element units have specific positioning rules that balance seamless appearance with signal transmission, while internal element units follow different rules. This localized optimization ensures that signal transmission quality is maintained while achieving seamless appearance where critical.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining the positioning relationships between driving circuits and functional elements through standardized geometric center distance specifications. These pre-established positioning rules ensure that signal transmission paths are optimized before the actual device assembly, allowing for consistent seamless appearance while maintaining signal quality.
3Ease of manufacture
If standard positioning is used for all element units, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the seamless experience and visual uniformity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by categorizing element units into different types (edge vs. internal) and applying specific positioning rules to each category. This allows for differentiated positioning strategies that optimize seamless appearance in edge regions while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through clear categorical rules. The first distance and second distance specifications provide straightforward manufacturing guidelines.
