Solution Overview

Problem

The existing backlight modules in liquid crystal displays face poor heat dissipation efficiency due to the use of a back adhesive layer, which affects the performance of the lamp panel.

Innovation Solution

A light-emitting module is designed with a carrier substrate, a first light-emitting circuit layer, a backboard, and a connection member, where the backboard is directly connected to the carrier substrate through a mounting cavity, eliminating the need for a back adhesive layer and enhancing heat dissipation by allowing direct heat transfer to external air.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If a back adhesive layer is used to connect the backboard to the carrier substrate, then the structural integrity is maintained, but the heat dissipation efficiency deteriorates due to the additional thermal resistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the back adhesive layer from the structure, eliminating the thermal resistance it introduces. The backboard is directly connected to the carrier substrate through mounting cavities, allowing heat to transfer directly from the LED lights through the carrier substrate to the backboard without passing through the adhesive layer, thus improving heat dissipation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting cavity structure merges the connection function and heat dissipation function into a single integrated design. The cavity walls provide both mechanical support and thermal conduction pathways, combining structural integrity with improved thermal management in one element

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Temperature

If the heat transfer path is lengthened through multiple layers including adhesive, then structural flexibility is improved, but heat dissipation efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidstructural integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer is extracted from the heat transfer path, shortening the thermal conduction distance from multiple layers to direct contact between the carrier substrate and backboard. This eliminates the thermal bottleneck created by the adhesive while the mounting cavity structure maintains structural integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting cavity introduces a vertical dimension for heat dissipation by creating direct thermal pathways through the cavity walls. Heat can transfer vertically from the LED through the carrier substrate bottom to the backboard, adding a new heat escape route that bypasses the adhesive layer

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