Solution Overview

Problem

Current LED filament arrangements lack diversity in decorative lighting patterns, as they primarily emit light with uniform color temperature and intensity, limiting their aesthetic appeal and versatility.

Innovation Solution

The LED filament arrangement features a combination of first and second sections with distinct color temperatures and intensities, where at least two second sections are arranged adjacently and partially parallel, creating a decorative and aesthetically appealing light effect by varying the light patterns and intensities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If LED filament arrangements use uniform color temperature and intensity for all sections, then manufacturing is simple and reliable, but decorative appeal and aesthetic variety are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoiddecorative lighting patterns
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The LED filament is divided into multiple sections, where each section can have different color temperatures and/or intensities. This segmentation allows different parts of the filament to emit distinct light characteristics, creating decorative patterns while maintaining a systematic manufacturing approach through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different sections of the LED filament are assigned different local qualities in terms of color temperature and intensity. This enables specific zones to have tailored light output properties, enhancing decorative appeal while allowing standardized production of section modules that are later configured in various patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If LED filament sections are arranged in diverse patterns with different color temperatures and intensities, then decorative appeal is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecorative lighting patternsVSAvoidfilament structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The filament is segmented into standardized sections that can be arranged in different patterns. This segmentation reduces complexity by creating reusable modular units with defined optical characteristics, making it easier to manage the overall system complexity while achieving diverse decorative effects through different arrangement patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces spatial arrangement patterns (adjacent and parallel configurations) as an additional dimension of design. By organizing sections in specific two-dimensional patterns rather than simply varying individual section properties, the system achieves decorative complexity without proportionally increasing manufacturing complexity

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

3Reliability

If all LED sections emit the same light characteristics, then the filament structure is simple and reliable, but aesthetic appeal and decorative effects are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilament reliabilityVSAvoidaesthetic lighting effect
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

Different sections of the filament are assigned different local light emission qualities (color temperature and intensity variations). This creates visually appealing patterns and effects while maintaining reliable operation through standardized LED components and controlled variation in emission characteristics across sections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
