Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional packaging with four white walls is used, then structural simplicity is maintained, but light emitting efficiency is limited and device size cannot be miniaturized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emitting efficiencyVSAvoidpackage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The package structure is segmented into multiple functional layers: a reflective package body (first package body) and a transparent package body (second package body), each serving distinct optical functions. This segmentation allows optimized light management while maintaining structural organization, resolving the contradiction between improved light emitting efficiency and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a nested package structure where the transparent package body (second package body) encloses the reflective package body (first package body), which in turn encloses the light emitting chip. This nested arrangement enables compact miniaturization while preserving the functional benefits of multiple optical layers, thereby improving light emitting efficiency without excessive complexity increase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

If conventional packaging design is used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but device size is restricted and miniaturization is hindered

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from conventional two-dimensional planar packaging to a three-dimensional nested structure with vertical layering. The reflective and transparent package bodies are arranged in stacked layers around the light emitting chip, enabling compact size reduction in the horizontal plane while utilizing the vertical dimension for optical function separation, thus achieving miniaturization with manageable manufacturing complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The package structure combines materials with different optical properties: a reflective material for the first package body and a transparent material for the second package body. This composite material approach enables optimized light extraction and emission while maintaining a compact form factor, balancing miniaturization goals with manufacturing feasibility through established material bonding techniques.
