Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a traditional light emitting layer is used between electron and hole emission layers, then the device structure is simple, but the luminous efficiency is very low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidluminous efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The light emitting layer is segmented into three functional components: Q+ quantum dot layer for light emission, light emitting layer for color conversion, and Q- quantum dot layer for light emission. This segmentation allows each layer to specialize in specific functions, significantly improving overall luminous efficiency while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple light emission mechanisms into a single integrated structure. The Q+ and Q- quantum dot layers emit light that combines with the light from the light emitting layer to produce enhanced luminous output. This merging of emission sources resolves the contradiction by achieving high efficiency without proportionally increasing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Use of energy by moving object

If the control device is switched off, then energy consumption is reduced, but the light emitting layer cannot maintain stable voltage and light emission stops

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy consumptionVSAvoidvoltage stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The capacitor is pre-charged during the on-state before the control device is switched off. This preliminary charging action stores electrical energy that is then released to maintain stable voltage across the light emitting layer during the off-state, enabling continued light emission without requiring continuous power supply and thus reducing overall energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The capacitor ensures continuous voltage supply to the light emitting layer by discharging stored energy during the off-state. This creates a continuous light emission effect that bridges the on and off states, maintaining visual output stability while allowing intermittent power supply to reduce energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Loss of energy

If Q+ and Q- quantum dot layers are added to increase luminous efficiency, then light emission is enhanced, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous efficiencyVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The Q+ and Q- quantum dot layers serve multiple functions: they emit light directly, assist in charge transport, and work synergistically with the light emitting layer to enhance overall luminous efficiency. This multi-functionality justifies the increased structural complexity by delivering disproportionate performance benefits in terms of energy efficiency and light output.

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