VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a complex LED structure is used, then light emitting performance is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple LED structures (red, green, and blue LEDs) onto a single substrate to form a complete light emitting device. This merging approach integrates multiple light emitting functions into one package, improving overall performance while managing complexity through unified design and manufacturing processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If a complex LED structure is used, then light emitting performance is improved, but ease of manufacture deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emitting performanceVSAvoidmanufacturing simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate serves multiple functions: it supports the light emitting structures, provides electrical connections through bump electrodes, and enables integration of multiple LED types. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and assembly steps, improving ease of manufacture while maintaining performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of manufacture

If a smooth molding layer surface is used, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but external light management capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The molding layer incorporates fine concavo-convex parts at its surface, creating local variations in surface topology. These localized structural features specifically address external light management through scattering and reflection, while the overall molding layer structure remains simple and manufacturable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Ease of manufacture

If external light is not managed, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but device reliability deteriorates due to glare

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure simplicityVSAvoiddevice performance stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The fine concavo-convex parts on the molding layer surface convert harmful external light (glare) into beneficial scattered and reflected light. This transforms the potential harm of external light interference into a useful function that protects the device while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)
