Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple light sources are highly integrated to achieve high-definition light-emission luminance distribution, then light emission performance is improved, but device weight and material usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight-emission luminance distribution definitionVSAvoiddevice weight
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSWeight of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The light source assembly is divided into multiple independent light source units that can be separately positioned and adjusted. Each unit contains one or more light sources mounted on individual light source boards, allowing selective placement and optimization without requiring a monolithic structure, thereby achieving high-definition luminance distribution with reduced material usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces adjustable positioning mechanisms that enable light source units to be positioned in three-dimensional space rather than fixed on a single plane. This spatial flexibility allows optimization of light emission patterns and luminance distribution while minimizing the amount of mounting material and overall device weight.

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

2Measurement precision

If multiple light sources are highly integrated to achieve high-definition light-emission luminance distribution, then light emission performance is improved, but manufacturing complexity and cost increase
