Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If traditional etching method is used to form wirings, then the wiring can be formed on substrate, but the spacing between wirings is not narrow enough and the wiring shape is uneven

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical etching process with a laser-based formation method. The laser directly writes the wiring patterns and blocking wall structures without requiring chemical etching, achieving narrower spacing and more uniform shapes while simplifying the manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The blocking wall structures are formed simultaneously with the wiring during the laser writing process, before the light-emitting elements are attached. This preliminary formation of positioning structures ensures precise alignment and prevents misalignment during subsequent assembly steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If light-emitting diode chips are attached to wirings formed by etching, then the chips can be mounted, but the chips may be misaligned due to uneven wiring shapes

Engineering Contradiction:
