Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If silk-screen printing is used to coat the reflecting layer, then the reflecting layer can be formed on the backlight panel, but the printing accuracy is low and it affects subsequent solder paste printing accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical silk-screen printing system with a piezoelectric injection valve system. The piezoelectric injection valves precisely control the ejection of ink droplets through piezoelectric actuation, enabling accurate positioning and thickness control without the mechanical limitations of screen printing, thereby resolving the accuracy and reliability issues
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the controlling parameter from mechanical screen tension and pressure to piezoelectric voltage control. By adjusting the voltage applied to piezoelectric injection valves, the thickness and position of ink droplets are precisely controlled, achieving high printing accuracy that maintains subsequent solder paste printing accuracy
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple silk-screen printings are performed to increase reflecting layer height, then the reflectivity requirement can be met, but ink overflow occurs leading to poor accuracy and appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses periodic pulsed ejection of ink droplets through piezoelectric injection valves. Each pulse precisely deposits a controlled amount of ink, and the periodic nature allows for accurate cumulative thickness control without continuous pressure application that causes overflow, achieving required reflecting layer height with clean edges
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs pneumatic control through piezoelectric actuation to eject ink droplets. The piezoelectric valves provide precise volumetric control of liquid ejection, allowing accurate thickness accumulation without the uncontrolled flow and overflow problems of conventional multi-pass screen printing
3Ease of manufacture
If silk-screen printing is performed on integrated backlight panel, then the reflecting layer can be coated, but the panel is prone to warping
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical screen printing process with piezoelectric droplet ejection. This substitution eliminates the mechanical stress and heat generation that cause warping, while still achieving effective reflecting layer coating through precise droplet placement and controlled thickness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the coating process parameters from mechanical pressure and heat to controlled piezoelectric actuation and droplet ejection. This parameter change eliminates the thermal and mechanical stressors that cause panel warping while maintaining effective coating performance

AI summary
The embodiment of the present application provides a method and device for printing a reflecting layer of a backlight panel. The method includes performing first correction processing on at least two piezoelectric injection valves firstly, then acquiring specification parameters of the backlight panel, generating moving paths of the at least two piezoelectric injection valves according to the specification parameters of the backlight panel, and controlling the corrected piezoelectric injection valves to print according to the moving paths. The reflecting layer is printed by controlling the piezoelectric injection valves to achieve stepless change in the film thickness of the reflecting layer, and the method can be implemented before or after the die bonding process. Compared with the conventional silk-screen printing method, the method is more flexible, which can not only avoid influence on the solder paste printing accuracy of the backlight panel, but also prevent the cured reflecting layer from warping, so as to ensure the preparation accuracy of the reflecting layer.
