Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a polarization layer is added to prevent external light reflection, then the reflection prevention effect is improved, but the thickness of the display device increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexternal light reflectionVSAvoidthickness of display device
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The anti-reflection function is segmented into multiple thin layers (first adhesive layer with magnesium compound and yttrium compound, second adhesive layer, and refractive layer) instead of using a single thick polarization layer. Each layer has a specific refractive index and thickness to collectively achieve the anti-reflection effect while maintaining thin overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the refractive index parameter of each layer to optimize anti-reflection performance. The first adhesive layer has refractive index 1.38-1.40, the second adhesive layer has 1.46-1.50, and the refractive layer has 1.30-1.34. By precisely controlling these refractive index parameters and layer thicknesses, the device achieves effective light reflection prevention without increasing overall thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a polarization layer is added to prevent external light reflection, then the reflection prevention effect is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexternal light reflectionVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention replaces expensive polarization layers with cheaper adhesive layers and refractive layers made from magnesium compounds, yttrium compounds, and PFPE compounds. These materials are more cost-effective while achieving the same anti-reflection function, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses composite material structures combining magnesium compound (MgF2, MgO), yttrium compound (YOF), and PFPE compound in specific layers. This composite approach allows optimization of both optical properties and manufacturing cost, achieving effective anti-reflection without the high cost associated with traditional polarization layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Object-affected harmful factors

If adhesive layers with specific refractive indices are used to reduce external light reflection, then the reflection prevention effect is improved, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexternal light reflectionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layers serve multiple functions: they provide structural adhesion between components and simultaneously function as anti-reflection layers through their specific refractive indices. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate anti-reflection layers, thereby simplifying the overall device structure while maintaining effective reflection prevention.

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