Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If an independent heat dissipation component is added to the display device, then heat dissipation performance is improved, but device thickness increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation performanceVSAvoiddevice thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the heat dissipation function with the support component by integrating a loop heat dissipation cavity inside the support component. The support component simultaneously provides mechanical support for the display panel and houses the heat dissipation system, eliminating the need for separate independent heat dissipation components and thus avoiding increased device thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The support component is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides structural support for the display panel and simultaneously serves as a heat dissipation device through the integrated loop heat dissipation cavity. This multi-functionality allows the same component to address both mechanical support requirements and thermal management needs without adding extra thickness.

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

2Length of stationary object

If the loop heat dissipation cavity is integrated inside the support component, then device thickness is reduced, but heat dissipation efficiency may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice thicknessVSAvoidheat dissipation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The loop heat dissipation cavity is configured to overlap with the heating element in the vertical dimension, allowing heat dissipation to occur directly beneath the heat source. This spatial arrangement ensures efficient heat transfer from the heating element to the working fluid in the cavity, maintaining high heat dissipation efficiency while keeping the device thin.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The heat dissipation system utilizes phase change of the working fluid (evaporation and condensation) within the loop heat dissipation cavity to achieve efficient heat transfer. The phase transition process absorbs and releases large amounts of latent heat, enabling effective heat dissipation within the constrained space of the integrated cavity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #36Phase transitions

Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The loop heat dissipation cavity is divided into multiple independent channels including evaporation channels, condensation channels, and anti-backflow channels. This segmentation allows the working fluid to flow in designated unidirectional paths, preventing circuit crosstalk and ensuring efficient heat transfer from evaporation to condensation zones without thermal interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
