Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If cables and connectors are used to connect the LCD module to the main board, then electrical connection is achieved, but the thickness of the terminal increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the cables and connectors from the connection structure between the LCD module and main board. By eliminating these external connection components, the overall thickness of the terminal is reduced while maintaining the essential electrical connection function through integrated contact members on the circuit board.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the connection function directly into the circuit board by integrating contact members (pogo pins) onto the board itself. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate cables and connectors, thereby reducing the terminal's thickness while preserving electrical connectivity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If cables and connectors are used to connect the LCD module to the main board, then electrical connection is achieved, but the portability and compactness are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By extracting and removing the bulky cables and connectors from the system, the patent enhances the portability and compactness of the terminal. The essential connection function is retained through the integrated contact members, which occupy minimal space and do not compromise the device's portable nature.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection functionality is merged directly into the circuit board through integrated contact members, eliminating the need for external cables and connectors. This integration significantly improves the device's compactness and portability while maintaining full electrical connectivity between the LCD module and main board.
3Reliability
If connectors are mounted on the main board, then electrical connection is achieved, but the thickness of the terminal increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the connector functionality directly into the circuit board by integrating contact members (pogo pins) onto the board. This integration maintains reliable electrical connection between the LCD module and main board while eliminating the thickness penalty associated with traditional mounted connectors and external cables.
