Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional LED display units face difficulties in welding operations due to small size, leading to sealing issues and weak bonding between the encapsulating material and the substrate, resulting in poor sealing performance and moisture resistance.

Innovation Solution

An LED display unit group is designed with a pixel unit array comprising n rows and m columns of LED chips, where A-electrodes and B-electrodes are connected to common pins, increasing the number of pins and encapsulating material volume, facilitating reliable welding and improved sealing performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the size of LED light-emitting units is reduced to achieve downsizing, then the display screen can be made smaller, but the welding operation becomes difficult and sealing performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesize of display screenVSAvoidwelding operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple independent LED light-emitting units into a single integrated display unit group. Instead of welding separate pins of individual units, the integrated structure provides a unified set of pins that can be welded as a group, significantly improving welding operability while maintaining the downsized display screen capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Volume of moving object

If the size of LED light-emitting units is reduced, then the display screen can be downsized, but the unit is easy to be sealing-off and not favorable to transportation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesize of display screenVSAvoidsealing performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple LED light-emitting units are merged into an integrated display unit group with a unified encapsulating material and substrate structure. This integration creates a larger, more robust sealing structure that is less prone to sealing failures and provides better protection during transportation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Volume of moving object

If the volume of encapsulating material in the light-emitting unit is small, then the unit size can be reduced, but the bonding force between encapsulating material and insulating substrate becomes weak

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunit sizeVSAvoidbonding force
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple units into an integrated structure where the total volume of encapsulating material is significantly increased. This larger volume provides sufficient bonding force between the encapsulating material and the insulating substrate, ensuring strong adhesion while maintaining a compact overall design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Volume of moving object

If the volume of encapsulating material in the light-emitting unit is small, then the unit size can be reduced, but the sealing performance and moisture resistance become poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunit sizeVSAvoidsealing performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By integrating multiple units into a single display unit group, the patent creates a larger encapsulating material volume that provides effective sealing. This integrated sealing structure prevents moisture ingress and protects the internal components, achieving reliable sealing performance while maintaining a compact form factor

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

5Reliability

If the number of pins in a single display unit is increased, then the number of welding points on PCB can be increased, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewelding reliabilityVSAvoidcircuit structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple units into an integrated display unit group that provides a unified set of pins. This integration increases the number of welding points on the PCB in a organized manner, improving welding reliability without creating excessive complexity through systematic pin arrangement and unified circuit design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
