Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If optical systems and electrical signals are used to detect faulty light-emitting diodes, then detection capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention separates the detection function from the main pad structure by introducing a dedicated detection pad that is electrically connected to the same electrode. This segmentation allows detection operations to be performed independently without interfering with the normal functioning of the main pad, thereby simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining detection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection pad shares the same electrical connection path as the main pad, allowing it to utilize the existing electrical infrastructure for detection purposes. This multi-functionality approach enables the system to perform both driving and detection functions through shared electrical pathways, reducing the need for separate dedicated detection hardware and thus lowering system complexity.
2Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If optical systems are used for receiving light to detect diodes, then detection accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces the optical detection system with an electrical detection system. Instead of using optical components to receive and analyze light emission from diodes, the detection pad uses electrical signals to identify faulty components. This substitution eliminates the need for complex optical alignment and operation procedures, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining detection accuracy through electrical conductivity measurements.
3Measurement precision
If complex detection systems are used to identify faulty components, then detection precision is improved, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection pad is designed to work autonomously within the existing electrical circuit, automatically identifying faulty diodes through electrical signal analysis without requiring external optical equipment or complex intervention. This self-service capability enables rapid detection and identification of defective components, maintaining high detection precision while significantly improving production throughput and overall productivity.
