Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a display device is connected to both a controller and external devices using separate connectors, then the device can perform multiple functions, but the configuration becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the controller connector and external device connector into a single integrated connector assembly on the control substrate. This allows both the controller and external devices to be connected simultaneously through one unified interface, reducing configuration complexity while maintaining multi-functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The control substrate is designed with a universal connector structure that can accommodate both controller connections and external device connections. This multi-functional connector design enables the display device to serve multiple purposes without requiring separate dedicated interfaces for each function.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple connectors are provided on the control substrate for different devices, then connection versatility is improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple connector functions are merged into a single integrated connector structure on the control substrate. This consolidation reduces the number of separate components that need to be manufactured and assembled, simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining the ability to connect to both controllers and external devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector design employs universal interfaces that can handle both controller and external device connections through a standardized structure. This universality simplifies manufacturing by using common components and assembly procedures rather than requiring specialized connectors for each device type.
