Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a light absorption part is used in a planar lighting device to improve color purity of white light, then color purity and reproducibility are improved, but the light absorption part is damaged by ultraviolet rays over time, causing performance degradation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor purityVSAvoidperformance stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A protective agent is introduced as an intermediary substance between the light absorption part and the ambient light (particularly UV rays). This protective agent absorbs or blocks the harmful ultraviolet radiation before it can reach and damage the light absorption part, thereby preventing performance degradation while allowing the light absorption part to maintain its color purity enhancement function over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The harmful ultraviolet rays are converted into a beneficial effect by using the protective agent to selectively block UV wavelengths while allowing visible light to pass through. This transforms the previously harmful UV radiation into a controlled factor that can be managed, protecting the light absorption part without compromising the overall lighting performance and color quality.

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

2Manufacturing precision

If a light absorption part is used to enhance color purity, then color reproduction is improved, but the light absorption part degrades due to exposure to ambient light

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor reproductionVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The protective agent serves as a mediator that shields the light absorption part from ambient light exposure. It is positioned between the ambient light source and the light absorption part, filtering out harmful wavelengths and reducing photo-degradation, thereby extending the service life of the light absorption part while maintaining its color reproduction capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The protective agent is applied in advance to the light absorption part or integrated into the same structure before the device is put into operation. This preliminary protective measure ensures that the light absorption part is already shielded when exposed to ambient light, preventing degradation from the outset and maintaining color reproduction quality throughout the extended service life.
