Solution Overview

Problem

In Mini-LED light-emitting modules used as backlight modules in liquid crystal display devices, there is a recurring issue where Mini-LEDs that are supposed to be turned off remain turned on in the division areas, affecting display contrast.

Innovation Solution

A light-emitting substrate design is introduced, featuring a base substrate with a light-emitting area and a bonding area, where the light-emitting unit with connected Mini-LEDs is positioned on the first surface, and at least part of the transmission lines are located on the second surface, ensuring insulation and reducing parasitic capacitance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If transmission lines are located on the first surface of the base substrate, then the connection between light-emitting elements and bonding area is simplified, but parasitic capacitance increases causing Mini-LEDs to remain turned on

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol accuracy of Mini-LEDsVSAvoidtransmission line layout complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent moves transmission lines from the first surface to the second surface of the base substrate, utilizing the third dimension (depth/thickness) to resolve the contradiction. This spatial reconfiguration reduces parasitic capacitance between transmission lines and connection lines, preventing false activation of Mini-LEDs while maintaining electrical connectivity through the substrate.

2Object-affected harmful factors

If transmission lines are moved to the second surface of the base substrate, then parasitic capacitance is reduced and display contrast is improved, but the transmission line routing becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission line routing is segmented into multiple sections: some portions remain on the first surface, while other portions extend to and are routed on the second surface. This segmentation allows the design to reduce parasitic capacitance in critical areas while maintaining simpler routing where possible, balancing performance improvement with manufacturing complexity.
