Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If conventional semiconductor device packages are used, then manufacturing processes are simple, but light extraction efficiency is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidlight extraction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is divided into multiple protruding portions that correspond to different bonding portions of the light emitting device. Each protruding portion can be independently configured with conductive layers, allowing for optimized electrical connections without complicating the overall manufacturing process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The package structure transitions from a flat two-dimensional configuration to a three-dimensional structure with protruding portions extending upward from the frame. This dimensional change enables better light extraction by creating multiple surfaces and angles for light emission while maintaining manufacturing feasibility

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

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional package structures are used, then manufacturing costs are low, but bonding strength is insufficient and re-melting occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidbonding strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

Conductive layers are pre-formed on the protruding portions of the frame before the light emitting device is bonded to the frame. This preliminary action ensures proper electrical connections are established in advance, preventing bonding defects and reducing the risk of re-melting during subsequent processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The protruding portions act as intermediary structures between the frame and the bonding portions of the light emitting device. These protrusions provide additional surface area and mechanical leverage for bonding, enhancing bonding strength without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If light extraction efficiency is improved through structural modifications, then device performance increases, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight extraction efficiencyVSAvoidpackage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The protruding portions serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide mechanical support for bonding, establish electrical connections through integrated conductive layers, and enhance light extraction through their three-dimensional geometry. This multi-functionality improves device performance without proportionally increasing structural complexity

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