Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If conventional LCD materials are used, then display performance (definition, contrast ratio, brightness) can be achieved, but the ability to emit infrared light and provide health benefits is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by combining multiple IR-emitting substances (biochar, tourmaline, far-infrared ceramic, jade powder, aluminum oxide, copper oxide, silver oxide, and silicon carbide) into a single layer structure. This composite approach enables the LCD to emit infrared light across multiple wavelengths, providing health benefits while maintaining display performance without requiring multiple separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical and chemical parameters of the IR material layer by controlling particle size distribution (nanometer to micrometer range) and surface properties through modification treatments. These parameter changes optimize the infrared emission efficiency and compatibility with liquid crystal cell components, resolving the contradiction between enhanced IR emission and material complexity.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If IR material is added to enhance infrared emission, then health benefits and heat exchange improve, but compatibility with liquid crystal cell components may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies surface properties of the IR material particles through chemical treatment to adjust their surface energy, charge distribution, and wettability. These parameter changes ensure compatibility with liquid crystal molecules and electrode surfaces, preventing aggregation and ensuring uniform distribution, thereby maintaining reliability while enhancing infrared emission for electromagnetic radiation reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by creating distinct functional zones within the IR material layer, where particles with different compositions and surface properties are strategically distributed. This ensures that specific regions provide optimal compatibility with different cell components (substrates, electrodes, liquid crystal) while collectively delivering comprehensive infrared emission for health benefits.
3Use of energy by moving object
If particle size of IR material is reduced to nanometer scale, then infrared emission efficiency improves, but manufacturing precision and dispersion uniformity become more difficult to control
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a composite particle size distribution strategy, combining nanometer-scale particles (for high infrared emission efficiency) with micrometer-scale particles (for easier handling and uniform dispersion). This multi-scale composite approach maintains high energy efficiency while improving manufacturing precision by reducing the challenges associated with handling exclusively ultra-fine nanoparticles.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent controls the particle size parameter within a specific range (nanometer to micrometer) rather than targeting a single size. This parameter optimization balances infrared emission efficiency (which improves with smaller size) against manufacturing precision and dispersion uniformity (which are easier to control with larger particles), achieving the best overall performance.
