Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If compound dripping method is used to form light-blocking and diffusion colloids, then manufacturing efficiency is improved, but compound leakage occurs affecting quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the compound dripping process into separate stages: first dripping light-blocking compound to form dam colloids, curing them, then dripping diffusion compound to form diffusion colloids. This segmentation prevents mixing and leakage issues while maintaining high efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by first forming the light-blocking dam colloids and curing them before applying the diffusion compound. This preliminary structure prevents subsequent compound leakage and ensures precise positioning of both colloid types.
2Manufacturing precision
If traditional molding methods are used, then equipment complexity is reduced, but manufacturing precision and quality are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a specially designed mold as an intermediary tool that bridges the simple compound dripping method and precise colloid formation. The mold provides positioning structures and channels that ensure accurate placement without requiring complex equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical positioning systems with a simpler mold-based approach that uses geometric constraints and gravity-assisted filling to achieve precise colloid placement, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining precision.
3Illumination intensity
If bubbles are present in compounds, then manufacturing process is simpler, but light emission uniformity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary degassing action by vacuumizing the compounds before dripping. This removes bubbles in advance, ensuring uniform light emission without requiring complex inline bubble removal systems during the manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses vacuum environment as an inert condition to remove bubbles from compounds before application. This creates a bubble-free state that ensures uniform optical properties while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing processes.

AI summary
In the present disclosure, a light-blocking compound is simultaneously dripped into light-blocking compound setting grooves located on a left side and a right side of a light bead by using a compound dripping machine, so as to form two light-blocking dam colloids respectively disposed on the left side and the right side of the light bead on a compound-dripped surface of a light panel. After the light-blocking dam colloids are cured, a diffusion compound is dripped into a diffusion compound setting groove by using the compound dripping machine, so as to form a diffusion colloid on the two light-blocking dam colloids.
