Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual data input method is used to determine pixel circuits for panels of different sizes, then flexibility in handling different panel specifications is achieved, but drawing efficiency is extremely low and labor costs are high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility in handling different panel specificationsVSAvoiddrawing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses template matching and copying by establishing standard pixel circuit templates for different panel sizes. The system automatically selects and copies appropriate templates based on input panel specifications, eliminating the need for manual parameter input for each new design while maintaining adaptability to different panel types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements automatic parameter adjustment by storing standardized parameter sets for different panel sizes in a database. When a new design is requested, the system automatically retrieves and applies the corresponding parameter set, changing parameters systematically based on panel specifications without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If manual parameter input is used for each panel size, then accurate control over pixel circuit parameters is achieved, but labor costs increase and data entry speed is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter control accuracyVSAvoidtime for data entry
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-establishing and storing standardized pixel circuit parameter sets for various panel sizes in a database before actual design work begins. This allows the system to quickly retrieve and apply proven parameter combinations, ensuring accuracy while eliminating time-consuming manual data entry during the design process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically select, retrieve, and apply appropriate parameter sets based on input panel specifications. The system serves itself by autonomously completing the parameter configuration process without requiring manual input, thereby maintaining precision while dramatically reducing time investment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If standardized templates are used for pixel circuit design, then drawing efficiency is improved and labor costs are reduced, but adaptability to custom panel requirements may be limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedrawing efficiencyVSAvoidadaptability to custom requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves universality by creating a multi-functional system that can handle both standardized and customized panel designs through a single automated platform. The system maintains a library of standardized templates for efficient processing while incorporating modification capabilities that allow adaptation to custom requirements, serving multiple design needs through one unified approach.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the template system flexible and modifiable. While standardized templates provide a solid foundation for efficient design, the system allows dynamic adjustment and customization of parameters to accommodate special requirements, enabling the design process to adapt from rigid standardization to flexible customization as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
