Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If components are attached to a substrate on which an electronic device is mounted, then integration is achieved, but heat conduction and noise interference increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The module is divided into two separate wiring boards: a first wiring board for mounting the electrooptical component and a second wiring board for mounting the integrated circuit component. This segmentation physically separates heat-generating components, reducing heat conduction between them while maintaining functional integration through the connecting member.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A connecting member serves as an intermediary element between the first and second wiring boards. This connecting member provides electrical connection while being designed to minimize heat conduction and noise interference, acting as a mediator that enables integration without transmitting harmful thermal and electromagnetic effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the module into separate wiring boards for electrooptical and integrated circuit components, the patent reduces electromagnetic noise interference between components. The physical separation minimizes cross-talk and interference while the connecting member maintains necessary electrical connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting member acts as an intermediary that facilitates electrical connection between wiring boards while being designed to minimize noise interference. This mediator approach allows integration benefits while filtering or reducing the transmission of electromagnetic noise between different functional areas.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by creating separate wiring boards for different functional components. This segmentation distributes heat-generating sources across separate physical substrates, improving heat management through better thermal dissipation pathways and reducing localized overheating issues that would arise from high integration on a single board.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from planar integration on a single substrate to three-dimensional stacking with multiple wiring boards connected vertically. This dimensional change allows heat to dissipate in additional directions and separates heat-generating components in the vertical dimension, improving overall heat management while maintaining high integration density.

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