Solution Overview

Problem

Control switches in existing backlight boards occupy excessive space, leading to low space utilization and integration levels, affecting the brightness and arrangement of LEDs.

Innovation Solution

A backlight board design integrating multiple control switches within a packaging block, each control switch connected in series with a light-emitting device, and a control circuit controlling their connection or disconnection, with shared terminals to reduce space occupation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If control switches are individually arranged for each light-emitting device, then each device can be controlled independently, but the control switches occupy excessive space leading to low space utilization

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveIndependent control capabilityVSAvoidSpace occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple control switches are integrated into a single packaging block, merging what would otherwise be separate components into one unified structure. This reduces the total space occupied while maintaining the ability to control each light-emitting device independently through the integrated switches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The packaging block serves multiple functions: it houses multiple control switches simultaneously and provides a unified mounting structure. This multi-functional design reduces the number of separate components needed, thereby reducing overall space occupation while preserving individual control capabilities.

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

2Ease of operation

If control switches are individually arranged for each light-emitting device, then each device can be controlled independently, but the integration level of the backlight board is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveIndependent control capabilityVSAvoidIntegration level
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By merging multiple control switches into a single packaging block, the design reduces component proliferation and improves integration level. The unified structure makes the overall system less complex while maintaining the functional capability to control each light-emitting device independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If control switches are arranged in the backlight board, then light emission can be controlled, but the control switches affect light reflection at their positions reducing brightness

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveLight emission controlVSAvoidBrightness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

Integrating multiple control switches into a single packaging block consolidates the components that affect light reflection. This reduces the total area occupied by control switches on the backlight board, thereby minimizing their impact on light reflection and improving overall brightness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
