Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a display device is equipped with a lighting apparatus, then user convenience and satisfaction are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the display device and lighting apparatus into a single integrated unit. The standing apparatus that supports the display panel also houses the light-emitting part and surface light source, combining two separate functions (display and lighting) into one device. This reduces the need for separate lighting fixtures and simplifies the overall system while improving user convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The standing apparatus is designed to serve multiple functions: it supports the display panel structurally and simultaneously acts as a lighting apparatus. The light-emitting part integrated into the standing apparatus provides illumination through the surface light source, making the support structure universally functional for both mechanical support and lighting purposes.

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

2Illumination intensity

If a surface light source is provided in the standing apparatus, then illumination visibility is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveillumination visibilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a surface light source that utilizes a thin film or sheet structure integrated into the standing apparatus. This approach allows for uniform light distribution across the illumination surface while maintaining a sleek, minimal design. The thin film structure simplifies manufacturing compared to traditional bulb-based lighting systems, as it can be integrated during the assembly process without requiring separate housing and mounting components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Adaptability or versatility

If the operation of the surface light source is changed in association with the display part, then user satisfaction is improved, but control complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser satisfactionVSAvoidcontrol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The control system establishes feedback loops between the display part and surface light source operations. The light-emitting part adjusts its illumination based on display content, viewing conditions, or user preferences, creating an adaptive lighting experience. This feedback mechanism allows the lighting to enhance the display experience dynamically without requiring complex manual controls, as the system automatically adjusts based on sensed conditions or pre-set parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
