Solution Overview

Problem

Micro light-emitting diode display panels face issues with light crosstalk due to gaps between baffle wall layers and substrates, affecting display quality and mechanical support under external forces.

Innovation Solution

The eutectic layer is divided into two subsections, where the second eutectic layer subsection overlaps the baffle wall layer to fill gaps and reduce light crosstalk, while also providing mechanical support by filling the gap between the baffle wall layer and the light-emitting substrate.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a baffle wall layer is provided to prevent light crosstalk, then light crosstalk is reduced, but a large gap exists between the baffle wall layer and the substrate, causing light beams to crosstalk and reducing display effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight crosstalkVSAvoidgap between baffle wall layer and substrate
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The eutectic layer extends in the vertical dimension from the substrate surface up to contact the baffle wall layer, filling the gap space that exists in the conventional two-substrate configuration. This vertical extension eliminates the horizontal gap problem while maintaining the light isolation function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The eutectic layer acts as an intermediary structure between the substrate and the baffle wall layer, providing both electrical connection for the micro LEDs and mechanical support to fill the gap, thereby solving both the light crosstalk and support issues simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a baffle wall layer is provided to prevent light crosstalk, then light isolation is improved, but the structure cannot provide effective support when subjected to external forces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight crosstalkVSAvoidmechanical support
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The eutectic layer performs multiple functions: it provides electrical connection for the micro LEDs, fills the gap to prevent light crosstalk, and offers mechanical support to the baffle wall layer structure, thereby solving both optical and mechanical requirements with a single component.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The use of eutectic material combines electrical conductivity and mechanical strength properties, creating a composite structure that simultaneously achieves electrical connection, optical isolation, and mechanical support functions that single-material solutions cannot provide.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Ease of manufacture

If the baffle wall layer height is limited due to two-substrate configuration, then substrate alignment is simplified, but the gap between baffle wall layer and substrate increases causing light crosstalk

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate alignmentVSAvoidlight crosstalk
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The eutectic layer is divided into two functional subsections: the first subsection provides electrical connection to the micro LEDs, while the second subsection extends vertically to fill the gap and provide mechanical support, allowing each part to optimize its specific function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
