Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If electronic components are integrated into increasingly compact spaces to achieve high-resolution displays, then display resolution is improved, but signal interference increases and device reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoiddevice reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from planar 2D conductor layouts to 3D vertically-stacked conductor patterns. Multiple conductive patterns are arranged at different heights (first, second, third, and fourth conductive patterns at different levels), allowing signals to be routed in the vertical dimension. This reduces horizontal spacing requirements and minimizes signal interference while maintaining compact footprint, thereby improving both resolution and reliability simultaneously.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the conductor system into multiple distinct conductive patterns (first, second, third, and fourth conductive patterns) with different materials and vertical positions. Each pattern serves specific signal routing functions, separating power, ground, and data signals into different spatial zones. This segmentation reduces electromagnetic interference between signals while maintaining high integration density for high-resolution displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

If electronic components are integrated into increasingly compact spaces to achieve high-resolution displays, then display resolution is improved, but signal interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidsignal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes vertical stacking of conductive patterns at different heights to route signals in three dimensions. This spatial separation in the vertical dimension reduces electromagnetic coupling between adjacent conductors compared to traditional planar layouts, thereby minimizing signal interference while achieving high-resolution display requirements through compact integration.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces insulating layers and dielectric materials as intermediaries between different conductive patterns. These intermediary layers electrically isolate adjacent conductors, preventing signal interference and crosstalk while allowing dense integration of conductive elements necessary for high-resolution displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If conventional conductor patterns are used in compact spaces, then manufacturing is simpler, but power loss increases and energy efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter of conductive patterns by using different materials for different conductive layers (e.g., first conductive pattern with one material, second conductive pattern with another material). This material differentiation optimizes electrical properties such as conductivity and resistance for specific signal types, reducing power loss while maintaining manufacturability through established multi-layer deposition techniques.

Inventive Principle:
