Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a frame securing mechanism is used to secure the quantum dot elements, then the quantum dot elements can be firmly secured in the light source module, but the assembling processes increase and the overall thickness of the light source module increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the quantum dot element directly with the light guide plate by disposing the quantum dot layer on the light guide plate surface. This integration eliminates the need for separate frame securing mechanisms and reduces the number of assembly steps while maintaining reliable positioning of the quantum dot elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and eliminates the frame securing mechanism from the light source module design. By removing this unnecessary component and its associated assembly processes, the patent simplifies the overall structure while still achieving secure positioning of quantum dot elements through direct integration with the light guide plate.
