Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If light-emitting modules are placed adjacent to each other to increase device area utilization, then productivity and device density are improved, but light interference and collision between modules increase
Solution Approach 1:
A light-shielding structure is introduced as an intermediary element positioned between adjacent light-emitting modules. This structure selectively blocks light paths that would cause interference or collision between modules while allowing the modules to remain in close proximity, thus maintaining high device density without sacrificing optical performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The light-shielding structure is strategically positioned only in specific regions where light interference occurs between modules, rather than uniformly across the entire device. This localized approach blocks harmful light paths while preserving light emission in areas where it is needed, optimizing both module density and optical performance.
2Illumination intensity
If light-emitting modules are spaced apart to reduce light interference, then light distribution quality is improved, but device area utilization and productivity decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The light-shielding structure acts as a mediator that enables modules to be placed closer together by actively managing light paths. It creates a controlled optical environment where modules can maintain close spacing for high density while the shielding structure prevents light from one module from interfering with adjacent modules, thus achieving both high area utilization and uniform light distribution.
3Illumination intensity
If a light-shielding structure is added between modules to reduce light interference, then light distribution quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light-shielding structure is implemented only in specific locations where light interference problems occur between modules, rather than throughout the entire device. This localized implementation minimizes the added structural complexity while effectively addressing the light distribution uniformity issue in critical areas.

AI summary
A light-emitting device is provided. The light-emitting device includes a first substrate. The light-emitting device also includes a second substrate including a light-shielding structure. The light-emitting device further includes a first light-emitting module and a second light-emitting module being adjacent to each other. The first light-emitting module and the second light-emitting module are disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first light-emitting module and the second light-emitting module are spaced apart by a gap, and the light-shielding structure at least partially covers the gap in a top view direction of the light-emitting device.
