Solution Overview

Problem

Existing hollow LED screens face challenges in achieving high light permeability while maintaining high pixel resolution, as the bonding pads on the circuit board obstruct light, reducing the screen's permeability.

Innovation Solution

The display unit features a bonding pad matrix on a lateral surface of the circuit board, with a V-shaped groove and equally spaced bonding pads on both the upper and lower halves, allowing LED lights to be surface-mounted without blocking light, and an automated production method that includes drilling, metallizing, and reflow soldering for efficient assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If bonding pads are disposed on the upper surface of the circuit board, then LED lights can be easily mounted, but light permeability is reduced due to obstruction by bonding pads and LED lights

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of mounting LED lightsVSAvoidlight permeability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding pad matrix is relocated from the upper surface (2D plane) to the lateral surface (vertical dimension) of the circuit board. This dimensional transition allows LED lights to be mounted on the lateral surface, eliminating their obstruction of light passing through the upper surface, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of mounting and light permeability.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding pads are segmented into a matrix structure with multiple rows and columns on the lateral surface, allowing systematic organization of electrical connections while maintaining open spaces between individual bonding pads. This segmentation enables both easy mounting of LED lights on specific bonding pads and sufficient light permeability through the gaps in the matrix structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If pixel pitch is reduced to increase pixel resolution, then display quality is improved, but light permeability deteriorates due to higher aperture ratio requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel resolutionVSAvoidlight permeability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

By moving the bonding pad matrix to the lateral surface, the patent enables high pixel resolution on the upper surface without the obstruction of bonding pads and LED lights. This dimensional relocation allows the aperture ratio to be optimized for light permeability while maintaining high pixel resolution, as the bonding infrastructure no longer competes for space on the light-passing surface.

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