Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a light filter is used to filter light in OLED display panels, then the amount of light emitted from the light emitting side is reduced, but color separation phenomenon occurs in screen-off state due to diffraction of reflected light
Solution Approach 1:
The light filter is divided into multiple sub-light filters (first, second, and third sub-light filters) with different colors arranged in an array. Each sub-light filter has specific edge length ratios (second edge length less than or equal to third edge length) to control diffraction. By segmenting the light filter into color-specific components with optimized geometries, the patent reduces color separation while maintaining light emission control in screen-off state.
Solution Approach 2:
Different sub-light filters are designed with different local properties (colors and edge length ratios) to address the diffraction issue locally. The first sub-light filter (red), second sub-light filter (green), and third sub-light filter (blue) each have optimized edge length ratios suitable for their respective wavelengths, providing localized quality control to eliminate color separation phenomena.
2Reliability
If light filters of different colors are arranged to mix reflected light into white light, then color separation is eliminated, but the structural complexity of the light filter increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple sub-light filters of different colors (red, green, blue) are merged into a single integrated light filter structure arranged in an array. This combining approach allows the mixed reflected light from different color sub-filters to form white light, eliminating color separation while maintaining a unified filter component that can be manufactured as a single element.
Solution Approach 2:
The light filter structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it filters light to control emission, mixes reflected light of different colors to form white light, and eliminates color separation phenomena. By designing the light filter with an array of multi-color sub-filters, the patent achieves universal functionality that addresses both light control and color uniformity requirements.
