Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If Mini LEDs are used in display products, then high brightness and long service life are achieved, but encapsulation peeling occurs due to temperature changes

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidencapsulation peeling
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive line is designed with varying line widths along its length, creating different local mechanical properties. The wider sections provide flexibility while narrower sections maintain structural integrity, allowing the conductive line to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction without causing encapsulation peeling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the geometric parameters of the conductive line by introducing multiple line width variations. This parameter modification allows the conductive line to have different stiffness characteristics at different locations, enabling it to withstand temperature-induced stress without breaking or causing encapsulation failure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional conductive line designs are used, then manufacturing is simple, but conductive lines break due to stress concentration during temperature changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconductive line fabricationVSAvoidconductive line breakage resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive line incorporates local quality variations through different line widths at different positions. This design allows the conductive line to have optimized mechanical properties at each location, preventing stress concentration and breakage while maintaining manufacturability through standard PCB fabrication processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Manufacturing precision

If uniform conductive line width is used, then manufacturing precision is easier to control, but stress distribution is uneven causing peeling and breakage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconductive line dimensional controlVSAvoidstress distribution uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The conductive line is designed with intentional local quality variations in the form of different line widths. This non-uniform design actually improves overall stability by distributing stress more evenly throughout the structure, preventing both peeling and breakage while remaining compatible with standard manufacturing tolerances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
