Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional display devices are transferred using device transferring equipment with alignment to predetermined positions, then the transfer process is straightforward, but the transfer efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer efficiencyVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the conventional mechanical alignment and transfer system with a magnetic field-based transfer system. Magnetic members are embedded in the display devices, allowing them to be attracted and positioned on the array panel using magnetic force instead of mechanical alignment equipment, thereby significantly improving transfer efficiency

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the physical properties of the display device by embedding magnetic members, which alters how the devices interact with the transfer system. This parameter change enables the devices to respond to magnetic fields for automated positioning and transfer, resolving the efficiency bottleneck

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If magnetic field transfer is used to improve transfer efficiency, then transfer speed increases, but conventional display devices are not suitable for this method

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer efficiencyVSAvoiddevice compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display device into functional components, with magnetic members embedded in specific locations (anode or cathode). This segmentation allows the magnetic transfer function to be added without redesigning the entire device, making conventional display devices compatible with magnetic field transfer

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces magnetic members as intermediary elements between the display device and the magnetic field transfer system. These magnetic members act as mediators that enable conventional display devices to interact with and respond to magnetic fields for efficient transfer

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
