Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If wire bonding is used to electrically connect the light emitting device to other devices, then electrical connection is achieved, but the package size increases and reliability decreases due to potential short circuits or disconnections

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage reliabilityVSAvoidpackage size
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the wire bonding process entirely from the packaging structure. Instead of using separate wires to connect electrode pads to external circuits, the invention integrates the electrical connection function directly into the packaging substrate through conductive traces, eliminating the need for wire bonding and its associated reliability issues

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple functions into the packaging substrate: mechanical support, electrical connection through integrated conductive traces, and structural protection. By merging the substrate's role to include both mechanical and electrical functions, the design eliminates wire bonding while maintaining electrical connectivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If wire bonding is used for electrical connection, then electrical connectivity is established, but the manufacturing process becomes complex and unsuitable for mass production

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemass production capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical wire bonding process with a planar integrated circuit approach where conductive traces are formed on the substrate during standard PCB manufacturing processes. This substitution eliminates the need for delicate wire manipulation and bonding operations, enabling automated mass production

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The packaging substrate is designed to serve multiple purposes: providing mechanical support, enabling electrical connection through integrated traces, and facilitating heat dissipation. This multi-functional design simplifies the overall manufacturing process by eliminating the need for separate wire bonding steps

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

3Reliability

If additional passivation films are applied to protect the light emitting device, then device protection is improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice protectionVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging substrate is designed to provide both mechanical support and electrical insulation functions simultaneously. By making the substrate itself electrically insulating while providing integrated conductive traces for connection, the design eliminates the need for additional passivation films, simplifying the manufacturing process

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