Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge lies in creating electronic devices with a narrow border design that enhances product competitiveness, as existing technologies struggle to effectively integrate components while maintaining electrical connectivity and structural integrity.
Innovation Solution
The solution involves an electronic device comprising a component board, a connecting board, an attaching member, and a conductive member, where the connecting board is aligned with the component board's lateral face using an attaching member, and a conductive member is placed in a recess formed by the substrate, attaching member, and connecting board to establish electrical connection between the first and second conductive wires.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If components are integrated to achieve narrow border design, then the device border width is reduced, but electrical connectivity and structural integrity become difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting board is attached to the lateral face of the substrate rather than the front surface, utilizing the side dimension to route connections. This allows conductive wires to extend along the lateral face and connect to the conductive member in the recess, maintaining electrical connectivity while preserving the narrow border appearance from the front view.
Solution Approach 2:
The conductive member is positioned within a recess formed by the substrate, attaching member, and connecting board. This nested structure embeds the connection components within the device thickness, preventing them from protruding and maintaining the narrow border profile while ensuring reliable electrical contact between components.
2Length of stationary object
If components are integrated to achieve narrow border design, then the device border width is reduced, but structural integrity becomes difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The attaching member is disposed between the lateral face of the substrate and the connecting board before final assembly, pre-establishing the mechanical connection. This preliminary positioning ensures that the connecting board is securely attached to the substrate's lateral face, maintaining structural integrity while enabling the narrow border configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The recess structure embeds the conductive member and connecting board interface within the device body, protecting these critical connection points from external mechanical stress. This nested arrangement maintains structural integrity by shielding vulnerable components while preserving the narrow external profile.
3Productivity
If multiple components are tiled together, then the device density is increased, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting board serves multiple functions: it provides mechanical attachment to the substrate via the attaching member, establishes electrical connectivity through the conductive member, and enables the narrow border design. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and simplifies the manufacturing process for high-density device configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is segmented into modular components (substrate, connecting board, attaching member, conductive member) that can be independently manufactured and then assembled. This segmentation allows for standardized production of each component and simplifies the tiling process for creating high-density device arrays.
