Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If indirect heat dissipation method is used for quantum dot unit, then heat dissipation is achieved, but efficiency of quantum dot unit decreases at high temperature and manufacturing costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipationVSAvoidefficiency of quantum dot unit
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the heat dissipation function from the indirect cooling method and implements it directly through wire structures that extend into the quantum dot unit. The wire penetrates the encapsulation layer and makes direct thermal contact with the quantum dots, extracting heat directly from the heat source rather than through intermediate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The wire acts as a thermal intermediary between the quantum dot unit and the heat dissipation structure. By using materials with high thermal conductivity, the wire efficiently transfers heat from the quantum dots through the encapsulation layer to external heat dissipation components, improving the thermal coupling without compromising the optical encapsulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Temperature

If indirect heat dissipation method is used for quantum dot unit, then heat dissipation is achieved, but manufacturing costs increase due to additional components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipationVSAvoidmanufacturing costs
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The wire structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides electrical connection, mechanical support, and thermal conduction pathways. By integrating heat dissipation into existing structural components rather than adding separate dedicated cooling components, the patent reduces overall device complexity and manufacturing costs.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the heat dissipation function with existing structural elements of the quantum dot unit. The wire that is already present for electrical connection or structural purposes is utilized as a thermal conduction pathway, combining multiple functions into a single component and eliminating the need for additional dedicated heat dissipation components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Temperature

If wire with high thermal conductivity is inserted into hollow of glass fiber, then direct heat dissipation is achieved, but light transmission efficiency may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The wire is positioned specifically within the hollow core of the glass fiber where it does not interfere with the primary light transmission path. By confining the thermal conduction element to a localized region (the hollow core) and using materials with appropriate optical properties, the patent achieves effective heat dissipation while maintaining high light transmission efficiency in the surrounding regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
