Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a separate switching-off voltage is used to stop pixel light emission, then the light emission can be effectively controlled, but the circuit complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission controlVSAvoidcircuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the light emission control function and switching-off function into a single circuit module. The amplitude adjustment module integrates both the light emission control transistor and switching-off transistor, allowing the same module to perform both functions without requiring separate dedicated circuits for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The amplitude adjustment module is designed to serve multiple purposes: it controls light emission through the first transistor and simultaneously handles switching-off through the second transistor. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate specialized circuits, reducing overall circuit complexity while maintaining reliable control.

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

2Ease of operation

If additional signal lines are added to supply switching-off voltage, then the switching-off function can be implemented, but the circuit complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveswitching-off functionVSAvoidsignal line complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the switching-off signal transmission function into the existing amplitude adjustment module. The second transistor within this module serves as the switching-off transistor, utilizing the module's internal signal lines rather than requiring external dedicated signal lines for switching-off control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The amplitude adjustment module is designed to be self-sufficient by incorporating the switching-off transistor internally. This allows the module to handle its own switching-off operations using its own signal lines, eliminating the need for external signal lines and reducing overall circuit complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
