Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If magnetic materials and/or conductive materials are blended in the resin to suppress electromagnetic wave noises, then noise suppression capability is improved, but the sheet becomes thicker and production cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectromagnetic wave noiseVSAvoidsheet thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the magnetic materials and conductive materials from the resin matrix, separating them into distinct thin metal film layers deposited on plastic film substrates. This extraction eliminates the need to blend materials in resin, enabling thinness while maintaining noise suppression capability through controlled surface resistance of the metal films.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses composite structures combining plastic films (for mechanical support) with thin metal films (for electromagnetic wave absorption). This composite approach allows optimization of each layer's function - the plastic provides structural integrity while the metal films provide noise suppression with controlled thickness and surface resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges multiple thin metal films between plastic film layers to achieve the desired surface resistance. By combining several films, the total surface resistance becomes more uniform and controllable, overcoming the unevenness inherent in single thin film deposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The composite structure of alternating plastic and metal films allows the plastic layers to act as spacers and support, enabling more uniform metal film deposition. The multi-layer composite structure averages out local variations in surface resistance, improving overall uniformity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
