Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If metal wire rods are used for signal transmission, then electrical conduction is achieved, but electromagnetic interference susceptibility increases and signal transmission speed is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission qualityVSAvoidelectromagnetic interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces metal wire rods (electrical conduction system) with optical waveguides (optical conduction system) for signal transmission. This substitution eliminates electromagnetic interference susceptibility while enabling higher signal transmission speeds, directly resolving the contradiction between reliability and electromagnetic interference vulnerability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If optical communication devices are embedded in substrate, then electromagnetic interference is reduced, but processing difficulty increases due to high level and angle requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission qualityVSAvoidoptical path alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent forms the optical waveguide structure within the substrate before embedding the optical communication device. This preliminary formation of the optical path ensures proper alignment and reduces processing difficulty during device embedding, while maintaining the electromagnetic interference shielding benefits of embedded packaging.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If optical communication devices are embedded in substrate, then integration density is improved, but heat dissipation capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration densityVSAvoidheat dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the substrate into multiple embedding regions with individual optical communication devices. Each device is embedded in its own designated area with sufficient spacing, allowing independent heat dissipation pathways while maintaining high integration density. This segmentation prevents heat accumulation that would occur in densely packed configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Object-affected harmful factors

If transparent layer is added to protect working face, then interference protection is achieved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexternal interferenceVSAvoidpackaging structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the protective function with the substrate structure itself. The substrate serves both as the mounting platform for the optical communication device and as the protective enclosure, eliminating the need for separate transparent protective layers while maintaining interference protection and simplifying the overall packaging structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
