Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the color purity of a color filter is improved to expand color gamut, then color gamut is expanded, but transmittance of the color filter is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor purityVSAvoidtransmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from conventional color filter materials to Perovskite materials, which have unique optical properties allowing high color purity while maintaining high transmittance. The Perovskite crystal structure enables precise control of light absorption and emission characteristics without the trade-off present in conventional filters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite Perovskite material structures combining different elements (such as organic-inorganic hybrid Perovskites) to achieve both high color purity and high transmittance simultaneously. The composite nature allows tuning of optical properties to resolve the contradiction between color gamut expansion and light transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Illumination intensity

If the brightness of a backlight source is enhanced to compensate for transmittance degradation, then brightness is improved, but power consumption of the LCD is increased

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the need for high backlight brightness by introducing Perovskite color filters with inherently high transmittance. Since the Perovskite filters allow more light to pass through naturally, the system can maintain brightness with lower backlight intensity, thereby eliminating the need to compensate with increased power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Manufacturing precision

If quantum dots are used to achieve pure color emission, then color purity is improved, but production cost increases and synthesis complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor purityVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces expensive quantum dots with Perovskite materials that can be manufactured more economically. Perovskites can be synthesized using simpler, lower-cost methods such as solution processing and wet-chemical techniques, making them a cost-effective alternative while maintaining high color purity performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent substitutes the complex controlled synthesis process required for quantum dots with simpler wet-chemical printing and deposition methods for Perovskites. This replacement of sophisticated synthesis mechanisms with easier chemical processing methods reduces both cost and complexity while achieving similar or superior optical results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
