Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If displaying units and switch devices are disposed on different sides of the substrate with penetration holes filled by bonding material, then electrical connection reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the display device into two separate substrates: a first substrate containing switch devices and a second substrate containing displaying units. This segmentation allows each substrate to be optimized independently for its specific function, improving electrical connection reliability while managing complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces penetration holes filled with conductive bonding material as an intermediary structure between the two substrates. This intermediary enables reliable electrical connections while maintaining physical separation of the substrates, thus improving reliability without requiring direct contact between switch devices and displaying units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If accurate patterning steps are performed for manufacturing semiconductive layers and conductive layers, then manufacturing precision is improved, but production time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepatterning precisionVSAvoidproduction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The invention performs preliminary patterning of the substrate before forming the penetration holes. This preliminary action establishes precise reference patterns that guide subsequent processing steps, ensuring manufacturing precision is maintained while reducing the need for repeated adjustments and rework that would consume additional time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If multiple layers and patterns are precisely positioned to meet electrical performance requirements, then electrical performance is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical performanceVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention transitions from a single-substrate three-dimensional stacking approach to a dual-substrate configuration where precise positioning is achieved through planar alignment of two separate substrates. This dimensional change simplifies the manufacturing process by allowing independent optimization of each substrate's layer structure while maintaining overall electrical performance.

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