Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single package contains only white light emitting diodes or only multi-color light emitting diodes, then the device structure is simple, but the color rendering characteristics and light intensity are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage structureVSAvoidcolor rendering characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines white light emitting diodes and multi-color light emitting diodes into a single package, allowing both types of LEDs to coexist and work together. This merging approach enables the device to achieve superior color rendering characteristics and light intensity by utilizing the complementary properties of white light (broad spectrum) and multi-color LEDs (specific wavelength coverage), while maintaining a relatively simple integrated package structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Illumination intensity

If white light emitting diodes and multi-color light emitting diodes are integrated in a single package, then color rendering characteristics and light intensity are improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor rendering characteristicsVSAvoidmanufacturing process
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the package into distinct regions: a first cavity for mounting white light emitting diodes and a second cavity for mounting multi-color light emitting diodes. This segmentation allows each type of LED to be mounted and wired independently, simplifying the manufacturing process. The separate cavities enable parallel processing and reduce the complexity of wire bonding and electrical connection, making it easier to manufacture despite the integrated design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of manufacture

If separate packages are used for white light and multi-color LEDs, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the device size and structural complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage fabricationVSAvoidpackage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple LED packages into a single integrated package structure with multiple cavities. By combining white light LEDs and multi-color LEDs in one package, the device reduces overall structural complexity and size compared to using separate packages. The integrated design allows for unified mounting and wiring, simplifying the overall device architecture while maintaining ease of manufacture through the segmented cavity design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
