Solution Overview

Problem

LED displays suffer from low filling coefficient, leading to clear black areas and moire fringes due to the small light-emission area of LED lamps, resulting in reduced image definition, discomfort, and excessive brightness causing glare.

Innovation Solution

A screen cover with arched structures and scattering parts is designed to cover LED pixel units, providing a filling coefficient of over 93% by blocking and diffusing light, eliminating perceptible gaps and moire fringes, and reducing brightness to enhance viewing comfort.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If LED lamps are arranged in an array to form LED pixel units, then the display can achieve various resolutions and wireless connection, but the light-emission area is smaller than the physical surface area, resulting in low filling coefficient and clear black areas between adjacent LED pixel units

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresolution ratio adaptabilityVSAvoidlight-emission area
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a third dimension by adding a transparent cover with arched structures above the LED pixel units. This vertical dimension allows light to be guided and scattered outward, effectively increasing the visible light-emission area without changing the physical LED lamp arrangement, thereby improving the filling coefficient while maintaining resolution adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The transparent cover acts as an intermediary element between the LED lamps and the viewer. It receives light from the small LED emission area and redistributes it across a larger area through the arched structures, effectively mediating between the constrained light source and the desired large filling coefficient

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If the filling coefficient is relatively small, then LED lamps can be arranged densely to achieve high resolution, but this causes graininess and lowers viewing comfort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel arrangement precisionVSAvoidviewing comfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making each cover unit individually optimized with arched structures that scatter light locally. This local light scattering approach smooths the overall display appearance and reduces graininess while preserving the precise pixel arrangement needed for high resolution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Illumination intensity

If the brightness of the LED lamp is increased to guarantee overall brightness, then the display maintains visibility, but the small light-emitting region causes glare that is uncomfortable for long-term viewing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverall brightnessVSAvoidglare
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By adding the vertical dimension with the transparent cover, the patent distributes the bright LED light over a larger spatial volume. The arched structures guide light at various angles, converting the concentrated intense light into a more diffuse illumination pattern that maintains brightness while reducing glare

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The arched (curved) structures of the transparent cover scatter light in multiple directions rather than allowing it to travel straight forward. This curvature-based light scattering reduces the intensity of direct light reaching the viewer's eyes, thereby reducing glare while preserving overall brightness through distributed light paths

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

4Use of energy by moving object

If parallel grooves are added to the transparent cover to change emitting angle and gather light, then light gathering capability is improved, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight gathering efficiencyVSAvoidcover structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses simple arched (curved) structures instead of complex parallel grooves to achieve light gathering and angle control. The curvature naturally guides light paths and achieves the desired emitting angle modification with a simpler, more elegant structure that is easier to manufacture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)
