Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single wavelength conversion layer is formed on a single LED chip, then the structure is simple, but beam angle and color temperature cannot be regulated

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestructureVSAvoidbeam angle regulation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the light emitting structure into multiple independent light emitting parts (first light emitting part and second light emitting part), each with separate light emitting regions and wavelength conversion layers. This segmentation enables independent control of beam angles and color temperatures for each part, resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and regulatory capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different light emitting regions are assigned different local properties: the first light emitting region has a first beam angle and first color temperature, while the second light emitting region has a second beam angle and second color temperature. This local differentiation allows the overall module to provide multiple beam angles and color temperatures simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Volume of moving object

If a single light emitting module is used, then the device is compact, but it cannot simultaneously achieve both wide and narrow beam angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice sizeVSAvoidbeam angle variety
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The single light emitting module is segmented into multiple independently operable light emitting parts, each capable of producing different beam angles. This allows the compact module to simultaneously provide both wide and narrow beam angles without requiring multiple separate devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The light emitting module is designed with multi-functionality by incorporating multiple light emitting parts that can operate independently or together. Each part serves different functions (wide angle illumination, narrow angle illumination), enabling the single module to replace multiple specialized devices.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple light emitting parts with different beam angles are integrated, then beam angle regulation is achieved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeam angle controlVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple light emitting parts with different beam angle characteristics are merged into a single integrated module. The first light emitting part and second light emitting part are combined on the same substrate with shared structural elements, reducing overall complexity compared to separate devices while maintaining beam angle control capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
