Innovation Solution

The development of a light-emitting display module comprising a board with encapsulated light-emitting diode modules arranged in an array configuration, where each module includes optoelectronic units surrounded by a supporting structure and a fence, allowing for efficient light emission and mechanical support, enabling the creation of smaller LED pixels with enhanced packaging density.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If traditional LED packaging structures are used, then mechanical strength and structural support are maintained, but the volume of LED pixels cannot be reduced sufficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveLED pixel volumeVSAvoidmechanical strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The LED module is divided into multiple encapsulated light-emitting units, each containing a specific number of optoelectronic units. This segmentation allows for compact arrangement and reduced overall volume while maintaining structural integrity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple optoelectronic units are nested within a single encapsulated light-emitting unit, which is in turn encapsulated by the supporting structure. This nested arrangement maximizes space utilization and reduces the volume of each LED pixel while preserving mechanical strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Productivity

If LED pixels are made smaller to increase packaging density, then display resolution is improved, but optical efficiency and light emission quality may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackaging densityVSAvoidoptical efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting structure extends in multiple dimensions to provide comprehensive enclosure and support for the optoelectronic units. This multi-dimensional support system maintains optical efficiency and light emission quality even as the overall pixel volume is reduced through compact arrangement.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The encapsulating material used in the supporting structure and fence is designed to be transparent or translucent, allowing efficient light transmission while providing mechanical protection. This composite approach maintains optical efficiency despite the reduced size of individual pixels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If more optoelectronic units are integrated into each pixel to improve display quality, then the complexity of the packaging structure increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidpackaging structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple optoelectronic units are merged into a single encapsulated light-emitting unit, sharing common supporting structures and fencing. This merging approach allows multiple units to be integrated into each pixel while reducing packaging complexity through shared components and standardized enclosure designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting structure and fence serve multiple functions simultaneously: mechanical support, structural enclosure, optical transmission, and protection of optoelectronic units. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby simplifying the overall packaging structure despite integrating multiple optoelectronic units.

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