A semiconductor module is designed with a panel substrate featuring regions of semiconductor devices that maintain a controlled wavelength deviation, ensuring consistent emission of red, green, and blue light across the module, with specific wavelength patterns and separation distances to enhance color reproducibility and reduce wavelength deviations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If liquid crystal display uses backlight unit, then display function is achieved, but design freedom is limited and brightness is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidbacklight unit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the backlight unit from the display structure, replacing it with self-emissive semiconductor devices (LEDs) directly integrated into the substrate. This elimination of the backlight component resolves the contradiction by achieving both improved brightness and simplified device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the passive optical system (backlight unit with light guides and diffusers) with an active electronic emission system (semiconductor devices that generate light electroluminescently). This substitution eliminates mechanical/optical components and directly produces light, improving both brightness and reducing structural complexity.

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

2Illumination intensity

If organic light-emitting display uses organic material, then light emission is achieved, but moisture vulnerability increases and reliability degrades

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emissionVSAvoidmoisture resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material composition parameter from organic materials to inorganic semiconductor materials (such as GaN, InGaN). This material substitution maintains light emission capability while fundamentally improving moisture resistance and overall reliability, as inorganic semiconductors are inherently more stable in humid environments.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality control by dividing the semiconductor substrate into multiple regions with specifically optimized compositions. Different semiconductor layers or devices are tailored with precise material ratios and structural characteristics to emit specific wavelengths, ensuring consistent color reproduction across the entire display while maintaining production efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring the semiconductor devices with controlled wavelength characteristics during the manufacturing process. By establishing precise wavelength patterns and separation distances in the initial production stage, the system ensures consistent color reproduction without requiring post-production adjustments, thus maintaining high productivity.
