Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If two stacked layers are designed with similar grid patterns for structural alignment, then manufacturing precision is improved, but moire fringe interference occurs affecting display quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrid pattern alignmentVSAvoidmoire fringe interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies asymmetry by designing the light control grid pattern with different characteristics compared to the display panel grid pattern. Specifically, the light control panel uses a grid pattern where the spacing between adjacent light control electrodes in the first direction is different from the spacing in the second direction, creating an asymmetric structure that breaks the periodicity responsible for moire fringe formation while maintaining manufacturing alignment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a light control panel is added to eliminate moire fringe, then display quality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemoire fringe eliminationVSAvoidstacked layer structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The light control panel serves multiple functions: it controls backlight illumination to improve display quality, eliminates moire fringe interference through its asymmetric grid pattern, and can potentially serve as a touch sensor layer or other functional layer, making the additional component justify its presence through multi-functionality

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