Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If light emitting diodes are disposed to emit light to both surfaces of the substrate, then image display capability on both surfaces is improved, but light interference and crosstalk between top and bottom emission light emitting diodes occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedual-surface image display capabilityVSAvoidlight interference and crosstalk
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The display device is segmented into first sub pixels for top emission and second sub pixels for bottom emission, with light emitting diodes alternately disposed in different regions of the substrate. This spatial segmentation separates the light emission paths and reduces interference between top and bottom emission diodes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the substrate are assigned different emission characteristics - first sub pixels are optimized for top emission while second sub pixels are optimized for bottom emission. This local differentiation allows each region to perform its specific function with minimal interference from the other emission direction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Object-affected harmful factors

If light emitting diodes are alternately disposed in different regions, then light interference is reduced, but device structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight interferenceVSAvoidalternating disposal structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines top emission and bottom emission light emitting diodes into a single integrated substrate structure, where both types of diodes coexist in alternating patterns. This merging approach reduces the need for separate devices while maintaining the benefits of reduced light interference through alternating disposal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If black matrices are formed to enclose light emitting diodes, then crosstalk is minimized, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecrosstalkVSAvoidblack matrix formation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

Black matrices are introduced as intermediary structures that enclose individual light emitting diodes and separate adjacent diodes. These black matrix structures act as optical barriers that prevent light from one diode from interfering with adjacent diodes, thereby minimizing crosstalk while providing a systematic approach to light isolation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
