Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for preparing LED display modules fail to fully exhaust air from lamp slits of LED lamp beads, leading to uneven surface luminescence and affected display effects due to differences in refractive indexes between the light-transmitting glue layer, light-transmitting film, and air.

Innovation Solution

A method involving machining an enclosure around a lamp panel to form an accommodating pool, filling with glue, performing vacuum defoaming treatment, and subsequent curing treatments to ensure the glue is fully integrated with the lamp beads, reducing bubble formation and enhancing the flatness of the LED display module surface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a pressure is applied to the circuit board, light-transmitting glue layer and the light-transmitting film in a preset temperature environment, then the LED module is obtained, but the air existing in lamp slits of the lamp beads cannot be fully exhausted, resulting in uneven surface luminescence

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesurface luminescence uniformityVSAvoidpackaging process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies vacuum defoaming treatment before the final packaging process to remove air from lamp slits in advance. This preliminary action prevents air entrapment that would cause uneven luminescence, while the subsequent packaging process remains relatively simple, thus resolving the contradiction between manufacturing precision and ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a vacuum environment (inert atmosphere without air) during the defoaming process to allow air to be exhausted from the lamp slits. This inert environment prevents air from interfering with the subsequent packaging and ensures uniform luminescence, while not complicating the overall manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #39Inert atmosphere (Inert environment)

2Illumination intensity

If the refractive indexes of the light-transmitting glue layer and the light-transmitting film are different from that of the air, then light transmission is affected, but air cannot be completely removed from the lamp slits using conventional packaging methods

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight transmission efficiencyVSAvoidair exhaustion completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses vacuum defoaming to create an air-free environment in the lamp slits before packaging. This ensures complete air removal, eliminating refractive index mismatches that would affect light transmission, and guarantees reliable light transmission efficiency throughout the LED module.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #39Inert atmosphere (Inert environment)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the environmental parameters (pressure and temperature) during vacuum defoaming to optimize air removal from lamp slits. By controlling these parameters, the patent achieves complete air exhaustion while maintaining the integrity of the lamp beads and glue layer, thus ensuring both light transmission efficiency and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If the lamp beads are not fully protected from damage, then the display yield decreases, but additional assembly steps increase the manufacturing complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay yieldVSAvoidassembly process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the protective function with the existing packaging structure by ensuring the light-transmitting glue layer and light-transmitting film fully cover and protect the lamp beads during the packaging process. This merging of protection function into the standard packaging流程 increases display yield without adding separate protection steps, thus avoiding increased manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
