1Temperature

If a heat dissipation layer is used to improve heat dissipation performance, then heat dissipation performance is improved, but light leakage occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation performanceVSAvoidlight leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into distinct functional layers: a heat dissipation layer for thermal management and a resin layer for light sealing. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function without interfering with the other, resolving the contradiction between heat dissipation and light leakage prevention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The resin layer is positioned to cover and seal the heat dissipation layer, creating a nested structure where the sealing function encapsulates the heat dissipation function. This nested arrangement prevents light leakage while preserving the underlying heat dissipation performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If resin and film layers are added to seal the heat dissipation layer, then light leakage is reduced, but heat dissipation performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The resin layer is applied locally to cover only the necessary areas around and over the heat dissipation layer to prevent light leakage, while maintaining thermal pathways in other regions. This localized sealing approach prevents light leakage without completely blocking heat dissipation routes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

If the heat dissipation layer extends beyond the display layer, then heat dissipation performance is improved, but light leakage increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The resin layer is positioned in advance to cover the extended portions of the heat dissipation layer before light leakage can occur. This preliminary sealing action prevents light from escaping through the extended edges of the heat dissipation layer, allowing the layer to extend for better thermal management without causing light leakage

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A display device includes a display layer including a light emitting element, a heat dissipation part disposed on a rear surface of the display layer, the heat dissipation part including a heat dissipation layer, and a resin part sealing at least a portion of the heat dissipation layer. In a plan view, the heat dissipation layer extends by a same length as the display layer or extends farther than the display layer.
