Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the mainboard and LCD module are integrated into a single structure, then the TV can be manufactured with a unified design, but the maintenance and upgrade costs increase and the TV thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The TV system is divided into separate modules: a signal source end (mainboard) and a display end (LCD module), connected through a transmission part. This segmentation allows independent maintenance and upgrading of each module, reducing costs while maintaining manufacturing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The LCD module is extracted from the integrated mainboard structure and separated as an independent display end. This extraction enables the display module to be replaced or upgraded independently without affecting the mainboard, thereby reducing maintenance and upgrade costs.
2Ease of manufacture
If the mainboard and LCD module are integrated into a single structure, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the TV thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the TV into separate signal source and display modules connected via transmission components, the overall structure can be optimized for thinness in the display end while keeping the signal processing in a separate unit, thereby reducing TV thickness without complicating manufacturing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a vertically integrated thick structure to a horizontally distributed architecture where the signal source and display are separated and connected through transmission media, effectively moving the functional separation to another spatial dimension and enabling thinner display designs.
3Reliability
If optical fiber transmission is used to connect signal source and display ends, then the transmission distance and signal quality improve, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional electrical signal transmission with optical fiber transmission, substituting electrical fields with optical fields. This substitution improves signal quality and transmission distance while the complexity is managed through standardized optical interfaces and conversion modules.
