Solution Overview

Problem

The manual operation of support pins in mini LED display apparatuses leads to low labor efficiency and high costs, and the use of support pins increases packaging and transportation costs, limiting their application in large-sized display apparatuses.

Innovation Solution

A light board and carrying device design with substrate and plate avoidance holes, allowing support pins to pass through these holes, enabling efficient stacking and reducing the overall size of the structure, thereby increasing packaging capacity and reducing costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If support pins are used to support optical film structures in mini LED display apparatuses, then structural support and stability are improved, but packaging and transportation costs increase, and device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural supportVSAvoidpackaging complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support pin is inserted through the substrate from one side and extends into the optical film structure, creating a nested configuration where the support pin is contained within the optical film assembly. This nesting approach provides structural support while minimizing the overall packaging volume and simplifying the packaging process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The support pin extends in the vertical dimension through the substrate and optical film structure, providing support in the thickness direction rather than requiring lateral support structures. This dimensional approach reduces the horizontal packaging space required and simplifies the overall package design.

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

2Stability of the object's composition

If support pins are used in mini LED display apparatuses, then structural stability is improved, but labor efficiency decreases and manufacturing costs increase due to manual operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidlabor efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The support pin is pre-positioned in the substrate before the optical film structure is assembled, allowing subsequent assembly steps to proceed without manual intervention for support pin installation. This preliminary positioning enables automated assembly processes and improves labor efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The support pin structure is designed to be self-aligning and self-supporting, where the pin automatically provides structural support once inserted, eliminating the need for manual adjustment or additional support mechanisms. This self-service characteristic reduces manufacturing complexity and improves productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Stability of the object's composition

If support pins are used to support optical film structures, then structural support is improved, but the overall size of the structure increases, limiting application in large-sized display apparatuses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural supportVSAvoidoverall structure size
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The support pin provides localized structural support at specific critical points within the optical film structure rather than requiring continuous support across the entire display area. This localized approach maintains structural stability while minimizing the overall size increase and enabling application in large-sized display apparatuses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
