Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If light sources are uniformly distributed across the display region, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the luminance uniformity across different regions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of light source arrangementVSAvoidluminance uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the arrangement and luminance characteristics of light sources in different regions of the display panel. Specifically, the light sources in the vertex region are configured with different spacing or luminance characteristics compared to those in the central region, allowing each region to have optimized luminance properties tailored to its specific requirements rather than applying a uniform configuration across the entire display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Illumination intensity

If higher luminance is emitted across the entire display region, then the image quality improves, but the energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminance levelVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality by adjusting luminance levels according to regional requirements. The vertex region, which typically requires lower luminance due to viewing angle characteristics, is configured with different luminance output compared to the central region. This regional differentiation ensures that each area receives appropriate luminance for optimal image quality while avoiding excessive energy consumption that would result from uniformly high luminance across the entire display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Illumination intensity

If more light sources are added to improve luminance uniformity, then the luminance distribution improves, but the device complexity and heat dissipation burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminance distribution uniformityVSAvoidnumber of light sources
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by optimizing the number and arrangement of light sources in different regions rather than uniformly increasing the total number of light sources. The vertex region is configured with a specific number of light sources optimized for that area's luminance requirements, while the central region has a different configuration suited to its needs. This regional optimization achieves improved luminance uniformity without the excessive device complexity and heat dissipation burden that would result from simply adding more light sources uniformly across the entire display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
