Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of stationary object

If light emitting devices are used directly to implement images in display apparatus, then thickness of the display apparatus is dramatically reduced, but light efficiency and heat dissipation characteristics need improvement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethickness of display apparatusVSAvoidlight efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a specialized circuit board with thermal management structures and heat dissipation components as an intermediary between the light emitting devices and the housing. This mediator enables effective heat removal and light efficiency optimization without increasing the overall display thickness, resolving the contradiction between thin profile and performance requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Length of stationary object

Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a specialized circuit board with thermal management structures and heat dissipation components as an intermediary between the light emitting devices and the housing. This mediator enables effective heat removal and light efficiency optimization without increasing the overall display thickness, resolving the contradiction between thin profile and performance requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces conventional thermal management approaches with integrated thermal management circuits and heat dissipation structures embedded in the circuit board. This substitution enables efficient heat removal from the light emitting devices while maintaining the thin display profile, addressing the heat dissipation challenge without mechanical bulk

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

3Reliability

If connector and light emitting device array substrate are disposed on different surfaces of circuit board, then electrical connection is achieved, but structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectionVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the third dimension (vertical stacking) by disposing the connector and light emitting device array substrate on different surfaces of the circuit board. This dimensional arrangement enables electrical connection while managing structural complexity through spatial optimization rather than planar expansion

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