Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional LED lamp bead chips with single-fuse programming structures face issues with programming failures, necessitating improvements to ensure successful programming.

Innovation Solution

A dual-fuse structure is introduced with OR gate logic, where two fuses are arranged between each group of logical addresses, and a time-sharing fusing mechanism is employed to rewrite internal logical values using external light containing address information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single-fuse programming structure is adopted, then the device complexity is reduced, but the programming success rate deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprogramming structure complexityVSAvoidprogramming success rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies beforehand cushioning by introducing a dual-fuse structure with backup capability. When the first fuse programming fails, the system can automatically switch to the second fuse for re-programming, providing a pre-established safety net that cushions against programming failures and ensures reliability without significantly increasing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

2Reliability

If a dual-fuse structure is adopted, then the programming success rate is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprogramming success rateVSAvoidprogramming structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the programming function into two separate fuse structures, where each fuse can independently perform the programming task. This segmentation allows the system to attempt programming through the first fuse and, upon failure, switch to the second fuse, thereby improving success rate while keeping each individual fuse structure simple and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If the programming current is increased, then the programming success rate is improved, but the risk of damaging the chip increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprogramming success rateVSAvoidchip damage risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial or excessive action by implementing a dual-fuse structure that allows for repeated programming attempts. Instead of using excessively high current that risks damage, the system can perform multiple attempts with moderate current through different fuses, achieving the necessary programming effect without causing harmful thermal or electrical stress to the chip.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
