Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If two display panels are bonded together to achieve double-sided display, then double-sided display function is realized, but the thickness of the display panel increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges two display panels into a single integrated panel structure. The first and second display regions are formed on the same panel substrate, with microcavities containing light-emitting elements integrated within the panel layers. This consolidation eliminates the need for bonding two separate panels, achieving double-sided display while reducing overall thickness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a three-dimensional stacked configuration (two bonded panels) to a planar integrated configuration (single panel with embedded microcavities). By arranging display regions and light-emitting elements within the same panel plane and utilizing vertical microcavities, the design achieves double-sided functionality without increasing the horizontal thickness dimension.
2Adaptability or versatility
If two display panels are bonded together to achieve double-sided display, then double-sided display function is realized, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two display functions into a single panel with shared structural components and control circuits. The first and second display regions share the same panel substrate, driving circuits, and power supply system, reducing redundant energy consumption associated with operating two separate panels and their individual control systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The single panel structure serves multiple functions simultaneously - the first display region and second display region both operate from the same panel, sharing common resources including driving circuits, power supply, and structural support, thereby improving overall system efficiency and reducing total power consumption compared to two independent panels.
3Adaptability or versatility
If two display panels are used for double-sided display, then double-sided display is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates two display functions into one unified panel structure. The first and second display regions, along with their respective microcavities and light-emitting elements, are all formed within a single panel substrate, reducing the number of discrete components from two panels to one and simplifying the overall device architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the single panel into distinct functional regions - first and second display regions with embedded microcavities - allowing independent operation of each display side while maintaining a unified structural foundation. This segmentation enables double-sided functionality without requiring two complete panel assemblies.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution enables a thinner and more energy-efficient double-sided display by directing light from the micro light emitting diodes towards both surfaces of the panel, eliminating the need for a second panel and improving display performance.
Implementation Method 1
a reflective layer disposed above the second micro light emitting diode... light of the second micro light emitting diode is emitted toward a back surface of the display panel
