Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If optical holes are filled with optical adhesive through dispensing process, then optical components can be protected and light pathways can be maintained, but it causes difficulty in accurately controlling the amount of adhesive dispensed, leading to uneven appearance and gaps between filled areas and optical adhesive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidadhesive dispensing control
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by forming a filling layer within the optical holes before dispensing optical adhesive. This pre-formed structure provides a defined boundary and volume constraint that enables precise control of subsequent adhesive dispensing. The filling layer acts as a prepared receptacle that limits adhesive spread and ensures complete filling without overflow or gaps, thereby solving the manufacturing precision issue while maintaining structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the diameter of optical holes is 2 to 3 millimeters and depth is 70 to 100 micrometers, then optical components can be accessed, but it results in difficulty in accurately controlling the amount of adhesive dispensed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoptical component integrationVSAvoidadhesive quantity control
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a filling layer as an intermediary material between the optical holes and the optical adhesive. This filling layer has specific physical properties that mediate the interaction between the adhesive dispensing process and the optical hole geometry. The filling layer provides a controlled interface that regulates adhesive flow and distribution, enabling accurate adhesive quantity control while maintaining compatibility with the optical component integration requirements of the specified hole dimensions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
