Solution Overview

Problem

Micro LED displays face challenges in transferring micro LEDs to circuit boards due to their small size, leading to potential drawbacks in the assembly process.

Innovation Solution

A light emitting device module is developed, featuring a substrate with mounted LEDs, an adhesive layer, and bonding wires, where the substrate includes outer electrodes and the adhesive layer is non-conductive, facilitating the transfer and arrangement of LEDs in a matrix or zigzag form on the substrate.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If micro LEDs are mounted directly on circuit boards, then assembly precision is improved, but transfer difficulty increases due to very small size

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly precisionVSAvoidtransfer difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the assembly process into two stages: first mounting micro LEDs on a temporary substrate where they can be easily transferred, then transferring the entire substrate assembly to the final circuit board. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by making the initial mounting easy while achieving precise final positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a temporary substrate as an intermediary carrier between the micro LED manufacturing process and the final circuit board assembly. This intermediary allows easy transfer of micro LEDs while enabling precise final mounting, resolving the contradiction between transfer difficulty and assembly precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If outer electrodes are added to substrate, then electrical connection is improved, but device complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the electrical connection function with the substrate structure by integrating outer electrodes directly into the substrate design. This combining approach improves electrical connection reliability while avoiding the added complexity of separate connection components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
