Solution Overview

Problem

The mass-transfer technique used in display device manufacturing limits the miniaturization of micro-elements, preventing further improvement in display resolution and restricting the application of display devices.

Innovation Solution

A method for manufacturing a display device involves providing a light emitting module, a driving module, and a light conversion module, and assembling them to form a display assembly, with the light emitting module positioned between the light conversion module and the driving module.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If mass-transfer technique is used to transfer micro-elements to substrate, then manufacturing process is simplified, but display resolution cannot be further improved due to limited miniaturization of micro-elements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display device into separate functional modules: a light emitting module containing micro-LEDs, a light conversion module, and a driving module. This segmentation allows each module to be optimized independently, enabling higher resolution in the light emitting module without complicating the overall manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a light conversion module as an intermediary between the light emitting module and the final display output. This intermediary component enables color conversion and enhancement, allowing higher resolution to be achieved through optical processing rather than requiring even smaller micro-elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If micro-elements are miniaturized to improve resolution, then display resolution is improved, but micro-elements cannot be easily transferred to substrate of small size

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveresolutionVSAvoidtransfer difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the micro-LED array into a dedicated light emitting module that can be manufactured separately with optimized spacing and arrangement. This module can then be transferred as a complete unit to the final substrate, avoiding the difficulty of transferring individual miniaturized micro-elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent addresses the transfer difficulty by changing the dimensional approach: instead of transferring individual micro-elements directly to the final substrate, the micro-LEDs are first arranged in a standardized module format that can be transferred via wire bonding or other connection methods, effectively moving the problem to a different dimensional scale.

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

3Manufacturing precision

If more micro-elements are placed in each sub-pixel, then resolution is improved, but space in each sub-pixel is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveresolutionVSAvoidsub-pixel space
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent moves the resolution enhancement from the spatial dimension (packing more elements in each sub-pixel) to the optical dimension (using the light conversion module to generate additional color information). This allows high resolution without increasing the physical area of each sub-pixel.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of color generation from direct emission at the micro-LED level to conversion at the light conversion module level. This parameter change allows the same physical space to produce more color information, effectively increasing resolution without requiring more micro-elements per sub-pixel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
