Solution Overview

Problem

LCD and LED splicing screens differ in light-emitting principles and viewing angle performance, leading to uneven brightness when viewed from the side, affecting the overall look and feel of displays.

Innovation Solution

An LED display panel with a light shielding structure featuring baffles that form cavities around LED chips, adjusting viewing angles by blocking side-emitted light, and using ink jetting to create baffles with specific parameters for optimal light emission and temperature resistance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If LED chips are used in splicing screens, then high-end display performance is achieved, but viewing angle performance deteriorates causing large brightness when viewed from the side

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay performanceVSAvoidviewing angle performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

A light shielding structure comprising multiple baffles is introduced as an intermediary element between the LED chip and the external environment. These baffles selectively block oblique light rays while permitting normal light emission, thereby mediating the contradiction between maintaining high display performance and improving viewing angle characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The light shielding structure implements local quality control by positioning baffles at specific locations around the LED chip. The baffles are strategically placed to block light in specific directional ranges (side viewing angles) while leaving other directions (front viewing angles) unaffected, thus achieving localized light control to resolve the viewing angle issue without compromising overall display performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If light shielding structures with baffles are added to control viewing angles, then viewing angle performance is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angle performanceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The light shielding structure utilizes thin baffle elements that are flexible in design but simple in implementation. These thin film-like baffles can be easily integrated into the existing LED module structure without requiring complex mechanical assemblies, thus improving viewing angle performance while minimizing the increase in device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The light shielding function is segmented into multiple independent baffles rather than using a single complex shielding component. This segmentation allows each baffle to be independently designed and positioned to control specific angular ranges, simplifying the overall structure while achieving comprehensive viewing angle control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
