Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple light plates are spliced together to achieve large size, then the backlight panel can reach larger dimensions, but dark lines appear at splicing positions due to warpage, unevenness, and light truncation

Engineering Contradiction:
