Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a conventional display panel structure is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the light emission is uneven

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission uniformityVSAvoidpanel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining light diffusion material and light conversion material within the same light processing layer. This composite structure enables the layer to simultaneously perform both light diffusion and wavelength conversion functions, improving light emission uniformity without significantly increasing overall structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the light diffusion function and light conversion function into a single light processing layer. By integrating both functionalities in one layer rather than using separate layers, the patent achieves uniform light emission while minimizing additional structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If light diffusion material and light conversion material are mixed in the light processing layer, then light conversion uniformity is improved, but material distribution control becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
