Solution Overview

Problem

Mini-LED display screens experience color deviation when viewed from the side due to asymmetrical light patterns, affecting image quality.

Innovation Solution

The display panel design features light-emitting chips arranged in an array with shared N or P poles, and adjacent columns are mirror-symmetrically arranged to ensure that electrodes of the same polarity are located on the outermost sides, eliminating color deviation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If light-emitting chips are arranged in an array with shared N or P poles, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but color deviation occurs in side-views due to asymmetrical light patterns

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing complexityVSAvoidcolor deviation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies asymmetry principle by intentionally designing mirror-symmetrical arrangements of light-emitting chips around a central axis. Each column of chips is positioned at specific distances from the center line, with alternating N-pole and P-pole orientations. This controlled asymmetry in chip arrangement and polarity distribution creates symmetrical light patterns that eliminate color deviation while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through the shared electrode structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

2Object-affected harmful factors

If light-emitting chips are arranged with alternating N and P poles in columns, then color uniformity is improved, but device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor uniformityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple N poles into a shared common N pole and multiple P poles into a shared common P pole for adjacent columns of light-emitting chips. This consolidation reduces the total number of electrodes required, simplifying the device structure while maintaining the alternating polarity arrangement that ensures color uniformity across the display panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If mirror-symmetrical arrangement of light-emitting chips is implemented, then color deviation is eliminated, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor deviationVSAvoidpositioning precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by assigning specific positioning requirements only to critical elements: the distance from each column to the center line and the orientation of N/P poles relative to adjacent columns. Rather than requiring uniform high precision across all chips, the design focuses precision requirements on the mirror-symmetrical relationships, allowing greater tolerance for non-critical positioning parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
