Solution Overview

Problem

In display devices, the placement of the light source part and electronic components in the lower portion leads to increased thickness and potential high temperatures due to heat emission, as the light source and components are often positioned close to each other.

Innovation Solution

The light source part and substrate are positioned at different locations, with the light source placed in the upper portion and electronic components on the rear surface, reducing the overall thickness and preventing high temperatures by separating heat-emitting components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the light source part and electronic components are positioned in the lower portion of the display device, then the device structure is simplified, but the overall thickness increases and temperature in the lower portion becomes high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidoverall thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the lower portion space into two separate regions: one for the light source part and another for electronic components. This segmentation allows each component to be positioned independently, reducing the overall thickness requirement while maintaining structural simplicity. The light source part is positioned at a first distance from the display part, and electronic components are positioned at a second distance, creating distinct functional zones that optimize both thickness and heat management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If the light source part and electronic components are positioned in the lower portion of the display device, then the device structure is simplified, but the temperature in the lower portion becomes high due to heat emission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidtemperature in lower portion
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the lower portion into distinct regions for light source and electronic components, positioned at different distances from the display part. This spatial segmentation separates heat-emitting components, preventing heat concentration in a single location and thereby reducing the overall temperature in the lower portion while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If the light source part is positioned close to electronic components, then the device structure is compact, but heat dissipation becomes inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidheat dissipation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by positioning the light source part and electronic components at different distances from the display part, creating spatial separation between heat-emitting components. This segmentation improves heat dissipation efficiency by preventing heat accumulation in a concentrated area, while the overall device structure remains compact through optimized spatial arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
