Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a transparent substrate is used to achieve 360-degree light transmission, then light emission omnidirectionality is improved, but heat dissipation performance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission omnidirectionalityVSAvoidheat dissipation performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate is divided into multiple segments with openings between them, creating a segmented structure that allows both light transmission and heat dissipation. The openings act as channels for air flow while the substrate segments maintain light transmission capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The substrate incorporates a porous or open structure with openings that facilitate air circulation. This porous design allows heat to escape through convection while still permitting light to pass through the substrate material.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

2Temperature

If an opaque substrate is used to improve heat dissipation, then heat dissipation performance is improved, but light emission omnidirectionality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate is segmented with openings that create pathways for heat dissipation. The segmentation allows the substrate to maintain structural integrity and heat dissipation capability while enabling light transmission through the openings and substrate edges.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The design transitions from a two-dimensional planar substrate to a three-dimensional structure with openings and varying thickness. This dimensional change allows simultaneous optimization of heat dissipation (through vertical air flow channels) and light emission (through edge and opening illumination).

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

3Ease of manufacture

If a planar rectangular substrate is used to simplify manufacturing, then ease of manufacture is improved, but light emission uniformity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate manufacturing simplicityVSAvoidlight emission uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate incorporates curved or non-linear geometric features such as circular openings and rounded edges. These curved elements help distribute light more uniformly by reducing sharp edges that cause light concentration, while still being manufacturable using standard fabrication techniques.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

4Device complexity

If LED chips are arranged in a single plane to simplify structure, then device complexity is reduced, but light emission angle and multi-level luminescence deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The LED chip arrangement extends from a two-dimensional planar configuration to a three-dimensional multi-level structure. LED chips are positioned at different heights and depths, creating multi-level luminescence that increases the effective light emission angle and provides more uniform light distribution in space.
