Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the device size is increased to accommodate more electronic components, then the component capacity is improved, but the current transmission uniformity deteriorates due to longer transmission paths

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of electronic componentsVSAvoidcurrent transmission uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the electronic component arrangement into multiple groups (first group, second group, third group) with different connection configurations. Each group is connected to the circuit board through different numbers of transmission paths (one path, two paths, three paths respectively), segmenting the current distribution to achieve uniformity across the larger device area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different electronic component groups are assigned different local connection qualities - some groups use single transmission paths while others use multiple paths. This local differentiation in connection structure compensates for the varying transmission path lengths across the device, ensuring uniform current distribution despite the increased device size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Area of stationary object

If transmission path length is increased to connect more components, then the component coverage is improved, but the current flow uniformity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent coverage areaVSAvoidbrightness uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the electronic components into multiple groups distributed across different areas, with each group having optimized connection paths. This segmentation allows the device to cover a larger area while maintaining uniform current distribution to components regardless of their position.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a dimensional variation in connection architecture by using different numbers of transmission paths (1D, 2D, 3D configurations) for different component groups. This multi-dimensional approach to current distribution ensures that components across the entire device area receive uniform current, resolving the brightness uniformity issue.

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