Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If LED displays use conventional structures without black material layer, then manufacturing is simpler, but extraneous light reflection reduces contrast ratio

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidextraneous light reflection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A black material layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the substrate and the transparent material layer. This black material layer specifically targets and absorbs extraneous light reflections, preventing them from reaching the viewer and reducing false lighting effects, thereby improving contrast ratio without complicating the manufacturing process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If micro LED chips are mounted without black material coverage, then device complexity is reduced, but side emissions increase and contrast ratio decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidside emissions
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The black material layer, which initially appears to add complexity, actually converts the harmful side emissions and reflections into absorbed energy, transforming a negative effect into a beneficial outcome by improving contrast ratio and display quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Manufacturing precision

If transparent material layer thickness is reduced, then manufacturing precision requirements are lowered, but side emissions increase and contrast ratio decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethickness control precisionVSAvoidside emissions
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention optimizes the thickness parameter of the transparent material layer to a specific range (10-100 micrometers). This parameter change achieves an optimal balance where the layer is thick enough to provide structural support and reduce side emissions, yet thin enough to maintain manufacturing feasibility and cost-effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
