Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If conventional compositions with nanosized light emitting materials are used, then material can be deposited on substrate, but homogeneous light luminescent layer cannot be achieved and material migrates to edge during printing and drying

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehomogeneity of light luminescent layerVSAvoidmaterial distribution stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a matrix material as an intermediary substance that embeds and immobilizes the nanosized light emitting materials. This matrix material acts as a carrier medium that prevents particle migration during printing and drying processes while enabling homogeneous distribution of luminescent materials throughout the deposited layer, directly resolving the contradiction between layer homogeneity and composition stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite material system combining matrix material with nanosized light emitting materials. This composite structure integrates the stabilizing properties of the matrix with the luminescent properties of the nanoparticles, achieving both homogeneous light emission and prevention of material migration simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of manufacture

If nanosized light emitting materials are printed directly, then pattern can be formed, but printing process is rough and dispersibility is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesmoothness of printing processVSAvoiddispersibility of nanosized material
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The matrix material serves as an intermediary medium that improves the printability of nanosized light emitting materials. By dispersing nanoparticles within the matrix material before printing, the composition achieves smooth flow characteristics and excellent dispersibility during the printing process, eliminating the rough printing issues associated with direct nanoparticle deposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If complex fabrication processes are used to achieve homogeneous layers, then manufacturing precision improves, but process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehomogeneity of light luminescent layerVSAvoidfabrication process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-dispersing the nanosized light emitting materials within the matrix material before the printing process. This pre-mixing step ensures homogeneous distribution is achieved during printing itself, eliminating the need for subsequent complex post-processing steps such as multiple coating layers, annealing treatments, or precision control measures that would otherwise be required to achieve uniform particle distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
