Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple light boards are combined (tiled) to form large-sized display devices, then the display size is increased, but seams become visible at the border between adjacent tiles and misalignment occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Positioning marks are pre-formed on the light-emitting structure and carrying substrate before assembly. These marks serve as alignment references that guide the precise positioning of adjacent light boards during the tiling process, eliminating misalignment issues while maintaining large display size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Positioning marks act as intermediary elements between adjacent light boards. By providing visual or physical reference points at the boundaries of tiled displays, these marks enable precise alignment and reduce the visibility of seams between adjacent tiles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
