Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display device is operated in high temperature environment (80-90°C), then the device can function in automobile conditions, but the internal temperature rises causing deterioration of display characteristics and reduced lifespan

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to automobile environmentVSAvoiddisplay characteristics stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful heat generated by sub-pixels into a manageable thermal flow by introducing dedicated heat dissipation pads that capture and redirect the heat away from sensitive display components. This transforms the harmful thermal energy into a controlled dissipation process, allowing the display to maintain reliability in high-temperature automobile environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces heat dissipation pads as intermediary thermal management components between the heat-generating sub-pixels and the heat dissipation sheet. These pads act as thermal mediators that facilitate heat transfer while isolating sensitive display elements from direct thermal exposure, thereby maintaining display characteristics stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Temperature

If heat dissipation structures are added to reduce internal temperature, then heat dissipation performance improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinternal temperature controlVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions into the heat dissipation pad structure: it serves as both a thermal management component and an electrical connection element. The pad is electrically connected to sub-pixels while simultaneously functioning as a heat dissipation pathway, thereby reducing the need for separate components and simplifying the overall device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The heat dissipation pad is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as an electrical interconnection element and a thermal management component. This universal design allows a single structure to fulfill multiple roles, avoiding additional complexity that would arise from separate dedicated heat dissipation elements.

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

3Reliability

If conductive lines are used to electrically connect sub-pixels, then electrical connectivity is achieved, but heat is generated and transferred to sensitive components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectivityVSAvoidheat generation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the thermal management function from the electrical connection function by introducing separate heat dissipation pads for each sub-pixel. This segmentation allows heat to be captured and directed independently at each heat source, preventing heat accumulation and transfer to sensitive components while maintaining electrical connectivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
