Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If display devices become more advanced and compact with highly integrated electronic components, then device functionality and integration are improved, but heat density increases causing deterioration of display quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice functionalityVSAvoidheat density
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The heat dissipation system is segmented into multiple independent heat dissipation members (first heat dissipation member under the display panel, second heat dissipation member under the driver circuit board, third heat dissipation member under the control circuit board). Each member independently dissipates heat from specific high-heat-density components, allowing targeted heat management across different functional areas of the integrated device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from conventional two-dimensional heat dissipation (single plane) to three-dimensional heat dissipation by placing heat dissipation members at multiple vertical levels (under display panel, driver circuit board, and control circuit board). This multi-layered approach increases the heat dissipation surface area and creates additional thermal conduction pathways in the vertical dimension.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Temperature

If heat dissipation structures are added to manage heat density, then temperature control is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each heat dissipation member serves multiple functions: it acts as a thermal conduction path from heat-generating components, provides a mounting structure for those components, and serves as a structural support element within the device assembly. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated heat dissipation components, thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the heat dissipation function with existing structural components (display panel, driver circuit board, control circuit board) by integrating heat dissipation members directly into these components. Rather than adding entirely separate heat dissipation systems, the thermal management function is combined with the structural and functional elements already present in the device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
