Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conductive patterns are left exposed on the printed circuit board, then electrical connection is maintained, but light reflection and interference occur affecting image quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectionVSAvoidlight reflection and interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A black matrix layer is introduced as an intermediary substance between the conductive patterns and the external environment. This layer selectively absorbs light to prevent reflection and interference while allowing electrical signals to pass through to the light emitting elements, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining electrical connection and eliminating optical interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The conductive patterns are coated with a black matrix layer that changes the optical properties of the exposed conductive areas. The black color absorbs light and prevents reflection, transforming the harmful reflective property of the conductive patterns into a non-reflective surface while preserving electrical conductivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a filling layer is added to cover conductive patterns, then light reflection is prevented, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight reflectionVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The black matrix layer is merged with the existing printed circuit board structure and conductive patterns into a single integrated assembly. By combining the coverage function with the existing electrical connection structure, the solution prevents light reflection without requiring a completely separate and complex filling system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The material properties of the black matrix layer are optimized to achieve the desired optical absorption characteristics while maintaining ease of application. By carefully selecting materials and parameters such as opacity, adhesion, and thickness, the manufacturing process remains relatively simple while effectively preventing light reflection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
