Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If mass transfer method is used to transfer LED elements to substrate, then manufacturing efficiency is improved, but alignment precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-forming alignment marks and interconnection patterns on the substrate before transferring LED elements. The alignment marks are positioned in advance to guide the mass transfer process, ensuring that even though multiple LEDs are transferred simultaneously, each element can be accurately positioned relative to the pre-prepared interconnection patterns, thus maintaining both high efficiency and precision.
2Measurement precision
If LED elements are made small in size for high resolution, then display resolution is improved, but placement accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating localized alignment marks and interconnection patterns specifically at each LED element's target position. The interconnection patterns are designed with local features such as contact pads and alignment markers that are tailored to the small scale of individual micro-LED elements, enabling precise placement despite the small size and high density requirements.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional interconnection pattern is used, then manufacturing process is simple, but brightness uniformity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the geometric parameters of the interconnection patterns, such as line width, spacing, and contact area. The interconnection patterns are designed with specific dimensional parameters that control current distribution to compensate for process variations, thereby maintaining brightness uniformity while keeping the manufacturing process relatively simple.
