Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

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

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the LED packaging structure into multiple functional components: a support structure for mechanical strength, a reflective layer for optical efficiency, and a transparent encapsulant for protection. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, reducing overall volume while maintaining performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a nested structure where the reflective layer is positioned within the encapsulated LED unit, and multiple optoelectronic units are arranged in a compact configuration. This nesting approach maximizes space utilization and reduces the overall pixel volume

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Productivity

If traditional LED packaging structures are used, then the mechanical strength and optical efficiency are maintained, but the density of LED display modules is low

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions into a single integrated packaging structure that provides mechanical support, optical reflection, and environmental protection simultaneously. This consolidation increases display module density by reducing the space required for separate components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent arranges multiple optoelectronic units in a three-dimensional configuration within the encapsulated unit, utilizing vertical and horizontal space efficiently. This multi-dimensional arrangement increases the density of LED display modules
