Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the light emitting unit is disposed side by side on the periphery of the touch module, then the assembly process becomes more complex and time-consuming, but the device size can be maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The light emitting unit is integrated between the touch module and the protecting layer, merging multiple components into a compact stacked structure. This eliminates the need for separate peripheral positioning and reduces assembly steps, directly improving productivity while simplifying the assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The light emitting unit is repositioned from a peripheral planar arrangement to a vertical stacked configuration between the touch module and protecting layer. This dimensional change utilizes the z-axis space, enabling more efficient space utilization and simpler assembly without increasing device footprint.
2Illumination intensity
If more light emitting units are disposed on the touch module, then the light transmission becomes more saturated and varied, but the heat generated increases and requires better heat dissipation
Solution Approach 1:
A heat dissipation layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the light emitting units and the touch module. This mediator layer efficiently conducts and disperses heat generated by multiple light emitting units, enabling higher illumination intensity while maintaining safe operating temperatures.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple light emitting units are arranged in a matrix pattern on the touch module, creating a distributed light source configuration. This copying approach allows light to be emitted from multiple locations simultaneously, achieving more saturated and varied light transmission across the display surface.
3Volume of moving object
If the space below the protecting layer is not utilized, then the device size becomes larger, but the assembly process becomes simpler
Solution Approach 1:
The light emitting unit is nested within the space between the touch module and the protecting layer, utilizing otherwise wasted vertical space. This nesting approach reduces the overall device volume without adding external complexity, as the light emitting unit is integrated into the existing layered structure.
