Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies face limitations in achieving high resolution and brightness due to the upper density limit of sub-pixel arrangement, particularly in Micro (Mini) inorganic light emitting diode (LED) displays, where the distance between sub-pixel light emitting regions becomes increasingly smaller as resolution requirements improve.

Innovation Solution

A flip chip space pixel arrangement structure and pixel multiplexing method that equidistantly divides the LED display screen into first and second element sets, forming a light emitting tube array with specific white light point groups, using a pixel acquisition algorithm to split the original image into low-resolution basic images, and determining display orders to optimize sub-pixel reconstruction and reduce interference between sub-pixels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If sub-pixel arrangement density is increased to achieve high resolution, then resolution is improved, but distance requirements between sub-pixel light emitting regions become increasingly smaller causing limitations in heat dissipation and component size

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveresolutionVSAvoiddistance between sub-pixel light emitting regions
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the display screen into multiple element sets (first element sets and second element sets) with different functions. First element sets contain complete RGB sub-pixels for standard display, while second element sets contain only R and B sub-pixels that cooperate with first element sets to form additional white light pixels. This segmentation allows increasing pixel density without proportionally decreasing the size of each functional unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention transitions from a traditional two-dimensional uniform sub-pixel arrangement to a three-dimensional functional arrangement by creating multiple element sets at different spatial positions and functions. Second element sets are positioned between first element sets and serve as auxiliary pixels that cooperate with first element sets, effectively adding a vertical/dimensional layer to the pixel structure that increases density without compressing horizontal spacing.

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

2Quantity of substance

If sub-pixel arrangement density is increased to achieve high resolution, then pixel density is improved, but component size limitations are reached

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel densityVSAvoidcomponent size
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

First element sets serve dual functions: they display standard RGB pixels independently, and they also cooperate with second element sets to form additional white light pixels. This multi-functionality increases the effective pixel density without requiring additional physical components beyond the second element sets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention merges the function of complete RGB pixels with auxiliary R and B sub-pixels. Second element sets (containing only R and B sub-pixels) are merged with first element sets to form cooperative white light pixels, effectively combining limited components to achieve higher pixel density than traditional complete RGB pixel arrangements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Measurement precision

If sub-pixel arrangement density is increased to achieve high resolution, then resolution is improved, but heat dissipation capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveresolutionVSAvoidheat dissipation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the display into first element sets (complete RGB) and second element sets (R and B only), the invention creates spatial separation between different functional units. This segmentation allows heat generated in first element sets to dissipate independently from second element sets, preventing heat accumulation that would occur in densely packed uniform sub-pixel arrangements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different element sets have different local qualities and functions. First element sets with complete RGB sub-pixels handle primary display functions, while second element sets with only R and B sub-pixels serve as auxiliary pixels. This local differentiation allows optimization of heat dissipation in high-density regions by not uniformly distributing all high-power RGB sub-pixels throughout the display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Ease of manufacture

If traditional uniform sub-pixel arrangement is used, then manufacturing is simplified, but pixel density is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidpixel density
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The display is segmented into first element sets and second element sets that can be manufactured using different processes optimized for their specific requirements. First element sets with complete RGB pixels can be manufactured using standard processes, while second element sets with only R and B sub-pixels can be manufactured separately and then integrated, allowing flexible manufacturing approaches that maintain simplicity while achieving high density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
