Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for packaging Light Emitter Diode (LED) display panels face challenges in high vacuum conditions, including glass substrates falling due to vibration and imprecise alignment, and electrostatic absorption methods being complex and prone to breakdown or insufficient adhesion.

Innovation Solution

A packaging device with magnetic patches and electromagnetic devices that securely attach and detach substrates in a high vacuum environment, using vacuum adsorption holes and electromagnetic induction coils to maintain alignment precision and prevent substrate offset.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If electrostatic absorption method is used, then the substrate can be adsorbed, but excessive static electricity causes breakdown of LED device and insufficient static electricity causes substrate to fall

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate adsorption reliabilityVSAvoidstatic electricity damage to LED
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the electrostatic absorption method with an electromagnetic absorption method. Instead of using electrostatic fields that can cause breakdown, the system uses electromagnetic fields interacting with a magnetic patch, providing a non-invasive holding mechanism that does not generate harmful static electricity while maintaining reliable substrate adsorption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If pressure-vent hole is switched on/off to release adsorbed glass substrate, then the substrate can be released, but the glass substrate vibrates and offsets, adversely affecting alignment precision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate release capabilityVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the pressure-vent hole release mechanism with electromagnetic field deactivation. By simply turning off the electromagnetic device, the magnetic holding force is removed smoothly without sudden pressure changes, allowing the substrate to be released without vibration or offset, thereby maintaining alignment precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs dynamic control of the electromagnetic field to release the substrate. The electromagnetic device can be gradually deactivated or the field strength reduced, allowing controlled release of the substrate without sudden movements or vibrations, unlike the abrupt pressure change method.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of manufacture

If UV light irradiation is applied from the bottom of the component to package the substrate, then the packaging can be completed, but it is difficult to configure one static absorption device with vacuum absorption function

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackaging process completionVSAvoiddevice configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the electromagnetic device to serve multiple functions: it provides substrate holding during alignment, maintains holding during UV irradiation from the bottom, and enables clean release after packaging. This multi-functional electromagnetic system replaces the need for separate vacuum absorption and UV irradiation systems, simplifying the overall device configuration.

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