Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional naked eye 3D display technology is used, then 3D display function is achieved, but resolution is low and high-definition display cannot be realized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidelectrode structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each sub-pixel unit is divided into multiple independently arranged first electrodes (at least two), which are further segmented into stacked conductive layers. This segmentation increases the number of controllable light emission regions, thereby improving display resolution and enabling high-definition 3D display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The electrode structure transitions from a single-layer planar configuration to a multi-layer stacked configuration with three-dimensional spatial arrangement. The top conductive layer extends beyond the bottom conductive layer to form a sloping surface, utilizing vertical dimension to increase effective electrode area and improve light emission control for higher resolution.

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

2Measurement precision

If multiple independently arranged first electrodes are used in each sub-pixel unit, then display resolution is improved, but electrode structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidelectrode structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple conductive layers are merged into a stacked configuration where the top conductive layer and bottom conductive layer are combined to form an integrated electrode structure. This merging approach consolidates multiple functional layers into a unified structure, managing complexity while maintaining high resolution capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The stacked conductive layer structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides electrical conduction, forms the sloping surface for light emission control, and enables independent arrangement of multiple first electrodes within each sub-pixel unit. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate structures, managing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Stability of the object's composition

If the top conductive layer extends beyond the bottom conductive layer to form a sloping surface, then light emission continuity is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission continuityVSAvoidconductive layer alignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The bottom conductive layer is formed first as a base structure, followed by the deposition of the top conductive layer that extends beyond the bottom layer edges. This preliminary action sequence establishes the foundation for creating the sloping surface, ensuring proper alignment and continuity before final structure completion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The conductive layers form a sloping surface with a controlled slope angle (smaller than 60°) at the edges, creating a gradual transition rather than a sharp discontinuity. This curved/angled configuration ensures continuous light emission by eliminating abrupt edges, while the controlled angle reduces manufacturing precision requirements compared to steeper configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

4Reliability

If a light emitting crosstalk layer with P-type doping is added, then carrier mobility is improved and moire effects are reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecarrier mobilityVSAvoidorganic functional layer complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A light emitting crosstalk layer with P-type doping is introduced as an intermediary layer between the first electrodes and the light emitting layer. This intermediary layer facilitates carrier transport and reduces crosstalk between adjacent sub-pixels, improving reliability and reducing moire effects while maintaining manageable device complexity through its specific functional role.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The light emitting crosstalk layer employs P-type doping with a controlled doping concentration (smaller than or equal to 5%) to optimize carrier mobility. By adjusting this parameter, the layer achieves improved electrical properties and reduced moire effects without requiring complex structural modifications, balancing reliability improvement with device complexity management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
