Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If a conventional semiconductor device package structure is used, then the device can be manufactured with standard processes, but the package size becomes large and lens mounting becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackage sizeVSAvoidlens mounting ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The package body is segmented into multiple functional surfaces: a first inclined surface for light extraction, multiple second surfaces perpendicular to the substrate for lens mounting, and corner portions for structural support. This segmentation allows each surface to serve its specific function optimally, enabling compact packaging while facilitating easy lens attachment on the second surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces vertical dimensionality by creating surfaces perpendicular to the substrate (second surfaces) in addition to the inclined light extraction surface. This multi-dimensional surface configuration allows lenses to be mounted vertically on the side surfaces while maintaining a compact horizontal footprint, thus reducing overall package size while enabling easy lens coupling.

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

2Productivity

If the package size is reduced for dense disposition, then manufacturing efficiency improves, but lens mounting becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing efficiencyVSAvoidlens mounting ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the package body are given different local qualities: the first inclined surface has light extraction properties, while the multiple second surfaces have lens-mounting properties with appropriate flat areas and perpendicular orientations. This local differentiation allows the package to maintain compact dimensions for high-density mounting while providing dedicated zones that are optimized for easy lens attachment operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Illumination intensity

If conventional cavity structures are used, then manufacturing is straightforward, but light flux and uniformity are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight fluxVSAvoidcavity structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The cavity structure employs asymmetric surface configurations: a first inclined surface at a specific angle for optimal light extraction, combined with multiple perpendicular second surfaces for lens mounting. This asymmetric design improves light flux and uniformity compared to conventional symmetric cavities, while the systematic arrangement of surfaces keeps the manufacturing process manageable through standardized fabrication steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
