Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional Mini-LED arrangements suffer from poor light mixing effects, leading to issues like light shadows and peripheral blueness, and complex internal wiring that causes noise and resonance due to reverse currents.

Innovation Solution

A novel arrangement of Mini-LEDs in a staggered pattern with specific positioning and electrode orientations, reducing edge luminance and simplifying wiring to improve image quality and reduce noise.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If Mini-LEDs are arranged in a conventional grid pattern, then the display screen can be manufactured with standard processes, but the light mixing effect is poor causing light shadows and peripheral blueness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight mixing uniformityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies asymmetry by arranging Mini-LEDs in a staggered pattern where odd-row LEDs and even-row LEDs are offset from each other, creating an asymmetric layout that improves light mixing uniformity and reduces peripheral blueness compared to conventional symmetric grid arrangements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension to the arrangement by adding vertical offset between rows in addition to horizontal positioning, transforming the conventional 2D grid into a 3D-staggered configuration that enhances light diffusion and mixing effects

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

2Illumination intensity

If Mini-LEDs are arranged in a staggered pattern to improve light mixing, then light mixing uniformity is enhanced, but the arrangement complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight mixing uniformityVSAvoidarrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display into odd rows and even rows with different horizontal positioning, allowing each segment to be designed and manufactured separately while achieving improved overall light mixing uniformity through the staggered combination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by giving different horizontal positions to LEDs in odd rows versus even rows, where each local arrangement is optimized for its specific position to achieve uniform light mixing across the entire display surface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If complex internal wiring is used to connect Mini-LEDs, then all LEDs can be connected, but noise and resonance occur due to reverse currents

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidnoise and resonance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges adjacent Mini-LEDs into groups that share common connection nodes, reducing the total number of wiring paths and minimizing reverse current loops that cause noise and resonance while maintaining reliable connections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and eliminates unnecessary wiring paths by optimizing the connection topology to remove redundant conductors that would carry reverse currents, thereby reducing noise and resonance while maintaining essential connections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
