Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple 2D material layers are stacked to achieve high integration, then device functionality is improved, but Moire patterns increase and light emission efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by rotating adjacent 2D material layers by a predetermined angle (20-40 degrees) relative to each other, breaking the symmetric stacking configuration. This asymmetric rotation disrupts the formation of Moire patterns while maintaining the beneficial optical properties of the multilayer structure, thereby resolving the contradiction between achieving high integration and maintaining light emission efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the stacking angle parameter between adjacent 2D material layers from the conventional parallel alignment (0 degrees) to a predetermined angle range (20-40 degrees). This parameter modification optimizes the Van Der Waals interactions and bandgap properties, simultaneously achieving high integration and improved light emission efficiency by suppressing Moire pattern formation
2Ease of manufacture
If 2D material layers are stacked in parallel alignment to maintain structural simplicity, then manufacturing is easier, but Moire patterns form and reduce device performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces asymmetric rotation (20-40 degrees) between adjacent layers, transforming the parallel alignment configuration into a twisted stacking structure. This asymmetric approach effectively suppresses Moire pattern formation while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through controlled rotational alignment during the stacking process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potentially harmful Moire patterns into beneficial effects by rotating layers at specific angles. This rotation transforms the destructive interference patterns into constructive configurations that enhance light emission efficiency and optimize Van Der Waals interactions, turning the Moire effect from a harmful factor into a beneficial design feature
