Solution Overview

Problem

Organic light emitting diode displays experience hot spots due to inadequate heat dissipation, as existing technologies rely on integrated heat dissipation sheets that can lead to heat transfer between different heat sources, exacerbating the issue.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a dual composite sheet structure with separated heat dissipation sheets and buffer sheets positioned according to the heat sources, allowing for two- and three-dimensional separation to prevent heat transfer between different heat sources, thereby minimizing hot spots.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Temperature

If an integrated heat dissipation sheet is used, then heat dissipation is provided, but heat transfer between different heat sources occurs causing hot spots

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipationVSAvoidhot spots
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated heat dissipation sheet is divided into multiple separate heat dissipation sheets (first heat dissipation sheet and second heat dissipation sheet) positioned below different heat sources. This segmentation prevents heat transfer between heat sources while maintaining heat dissipation functionality for each individual heat source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a vertical dimension to heat dissipation by placing heat dissipation sheets at different heights and positions relative to different heat sources. The first heat dissipation sheet is positioned below the first heat source and the second heat dissipation sheet is positioned below the second heat source, creating spatial separation that prevents heat transfer while maintaining effective heat dissipation for each source.

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

2Object-affected harmful factors

If heat dissipation sheets are separated, then heat transfer between heat sources is prevented, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat transfer preventionVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each heat dissipation sheet serves multiple functions: it provides thermal management for its associated heat source, acts as a structural support element, and contributes to the overall device assembly. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The heat dissipation sheets are integrated with other device components such as being positioned between the heat sources and the device housing, or combined with structural support elements. This merging approach allows the separated heat dissipation structure to fulfill multiple roles simultaneously, reducing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
