Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a printed circuit board is disposed on the rear surface of the display panel, then electrical connection and signal transmission are achieved, but heat concentration occurs leading to temperature deviation and display quality degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectionVSAvoidtemperature deviation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

A heat dissipation sheet is introduced as an intermediary component between the printed circuit board and the display panel. This heat dissipation sheet includes a heat dissipation portion that contacts the printed circuit board to absorb and diffuse heat, and a heat transfer portion that transfers the diffused heat to the display panel, thereby eliminating temperature deviation while maintaining electrical connection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the thermal parameters of the system by introducing a heat dissipation sheet with specific thermal conductivity characteristics. The sheet transforms the heat flow pattern from concentrated (direct contact) to diffused (through the sheet), changing the temperature distribution parameter across the display panel

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Power

If heat is generated from the printed circuit board, then device operation is enabled, but heat concentration on partial area causes spots and color differences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice operationVSAvoidspots and color differences
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The heat dissipation sheet acts as a mediator that intercepts heat from the printed circuit board before it concentrates on the display panel. The heat dissipation portion absorbs the generated heat and the heat transfer portion distributes it uniformly, preventing the formation of spots and color differences while allowing continuous device operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful concentrated heat into a beneficial uniform heat distribution. The heat dissipation sheet transforms the harmful thermal concentration that causes display defects into a beneficial uniform temperature field that maintains display quality during operation

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