Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple panels are spliced to form a large-size display panel, then the display size is increased, but a splice slit appears between adjacent panels causing display area loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoiddisplay area
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful splice slit (which causes display area loss) into a beneficial light-emitting region by placing light-emitting units in the splice slit area. The driver board extends into the splice slit region, and light-emitting units are arranged on the driver board to cover the splice slit, transforming the previously wasted space into a functional display area that compensates for the lost display region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

2Area of stationary object

If multiple panels are mechanically spliced to form a large-size display, then the display size is increased, but the internal structure becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidinternal structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the driver boards of adjacent panels by extending the driver board into the splice slit region. This integration reduces the number of independent driver boards and simplifies the internal structure. The light-emitting units are directly mounted on the extended driver board, eliminating the need for separate driving mechanisms for the splice slit area and reducing overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Area of stationary object

If panels are spliced with mechanical connection, then large-size display is achieved, but maintenance becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidmaintenance
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent maintains the modular structure of spliced panels while improving maintainability through the integrated driver board design. Each panel can still be independently replaced, but the extended driver board that spans across splice slits allows for centralized control and easier identification of faulty modules. The standardized interface and integrated driving circuitry simplify the replacement and maintenance process compared to fully independent mechanical splicing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
