A light emitting module is designed with a light emitting structure electrical connection layer, a light emitting unit layer, and input terminals, where the electrical connection layer connects light emitting units with input terminals, and an IC input structure transmits driving inputs to the units, allowing for control even in small sizes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the size of light emitting devices is reduced to increase pixel density, then display resolution is improved, but the ability to arrange terminals for leading wires and control the devices is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidterminal arrangement and control
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

An IC input structure is introduced as an intermediary component between the external control system and the miniaturized light emitting devices. This structure includes IC input connecting terminals that receive control signals and transmit them to the light emitting devices, enabling effective control despite the devices' small size. The intermediary structure bridges the gap between macro-scale control systems and micro-scale light emitting elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal arrangement problem is resolved by transitioning from a planar arrangement to a three-dimensional structure. The IC input structure extends in the vertical dimension, with connecting terminals arranged at different heights and positions. This dimensional change allows multiple terminals to be packed into a smaller footprint area, enabling control of miniaturized devices without compromising terminal accessibility.

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

2Ease of operation

If conventional terminal arrangement methods are used, then control of light emitting devices is simple, but it becomes impossible to control devices when their size is very small

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol simplicityVSAvoidapplicability to small-sized devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The IC input structure is designed with multi-functionality to address both control simplicity and small device compatibility. It serves multiple functions: receiving control signals from external sources, transmitting signals to multiple light emitting devices, and adapting to different device configurations. This universal structure can be applied across various display sizes and configurations, maintaining ease of operation while enabling control of miniaturized devices.

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