Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional single electrical contact pair design is used, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability decreases when light emitting diode chips fail

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct functionalityVSAvoidelectrical contact structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements backup electrical contact pairs in advance before any failure occurs. Each connection line unit contains at least one backup electrical contact pair that remains idle during normal operation but automatically activates when the primary light emitting diode chip fails, ensuring continuous functionality without requiring complex real-time switching mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different functions to different parts of the electrical contact structure. Primary electrical contact pairs handle normal operation while backup electrical contact pairs remain dormant until needed. This local differentiation allows the system to maintain simplicity during normal operation while providing reliability when failures occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Use of energy by moving object

If current is concentrated through single negative electrode wire, then manufacturing is simplified, but power consumption increases and performance becomes uneven

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidcurrent distribution efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the current distribution function by introducing multiple negative electrode wires (first and second negative electrode wires) that extend in different directions. This segmentation distributes the current load across multiple pathways, reducing power consumption and improving current distribution efficiency throughout the light emitting plate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-direction current distribution approach to a multi-dimensional distribution system. The first negative electrode wire extends in a first direction while the second negative electrode wire extends in a second direction, creating a two-dimensional current distribution network that improves efficiency and reduces power consumption.

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

3Illumination intensity

If light emitting diode chips are densely arranged, then brightness is improved, but bonding yield decreases due to higher defect rates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidbonding yield
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates backup electrical contact pairs during the manufacturing process before any failures occur. This allows for post-bonding replacement of defective light emitting diode chips by connecting them to backup contact pairs, thereby maintaining high bonding yield even when chips are densely arranged and defect rates increase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables the discarding of defective light emitting diode chips and their replacement with functional ones by utilizing backup electrical contact pairs. This recovery mechanism allows defective chips to be removed and replaced without compromising the overall structure or requiring complex reconfiguration, thus maintaining high bonding yield in dense arrangements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering
