Solution Overview

Problem

The existing LED display apparatuses face issues with image distortion due to height differences between LED modules, leading to color distortions and reduced image quality, and require lengthy manufacturing times to adjust these differences.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus with a bonding member, such as UV curable resin, is used to bond printed circuit boards to frames, ensuring uniform height and stability, thereby preventing color distortions and reducing manufacturing time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple LED modules are combined to form a display apparatus, then the display size can be expanded and space usability is improved, but height differences between modules occur during manufacturing causing image distortion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidheight uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a bonding member as an intermediary element between the LED module and the frame. This bonding member includes a compensating portion that can be adjusted in height to compensate for variations in LED module heights, thereby maintaining overall height uniformity across the display apparatus while allowing individual modules to have manufacturing tolerances

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical parameters of the bonding structure by providing a bonding member with adjustable height compensation. The compensating portion can be adjusted to different height levels to match variations in LED module heights, transforming the rigid height requirement into a flexible parameter that can be adapted to manufacturing variations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If height differences between LED modules are adjusted manually, then image quality can be improved, but manufacturing time increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheight uniformityVSAvoidmanufacturing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates height compensation features into the bonding member design before assembly. The compensating portion is pre-configured with adjustable height levels, allowing workers to simply select and install the appropriate height variant rather than performing time-consuming manual adjustments during the assembly process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a simple, easily replaceable bonding member with pre-set height compensation rather than complex adjustable mechanisms. These bonding members can be quickly exchanged if needed, and their simple structure allows for rapid installation without requiring skilled adjustment work, thereby maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

3Manufacturing precision

If bonding members are used to bond printed circuit boards to frames, then height uniformity and image quality are improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheight uniformityVSAvoidassembly structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the bonding function into a separate bonding member component that can be independently manufactured and then assembled. This segmentation allows the height compensation feature to be built into the bonding member itself during its manufacturing process, rather than requiring complex adjustment mechanisms during final assembly, thus reducing overall system complexity while maintaining precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
