Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If red, green, and blue semiconductor light emitting elements are disposed side by side for RGB color display, then color display capability is improved, but the pitch between sub-cells becomes extremely small making implementation technically difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a planar side-by-side arrangement of RGB semiconductor light emitting elements to a vertical stacked configuration. By stacking the elements in the thickness direction (z-axis) rather than arranging them horizontally (x-y plane), the patent achieves RGB color display while maintaining larger horizontal pitch between sub-cells, thus resolving the technical difficulty of implementing extremely small pitch displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a stacked configuration where red, green, and blue semiconductor light emitting elements are vertically nested one above another. This nesting approach allows multiple color elements to occupy a smaller horizontal footprint while maintaining their individual functionality, effectively solving the pitch limitation problem in fine pitch displays.
2Speed
If semiconductor light emitting elements are used for display, then fast response time and flexibility are improved, but implementing fine pitch displays with RGB color becomes technically difficult
Solution Approach 1:
By stacking semiconductor light emitting elements vertically, the patent reduces the horizontal complexity of routing and positioning extremely fine pitch elements while preserving the inherent fast response time and flexibility advantages of semiconductor LEDs. The vertical arrangement simplifies the overall device structure for fine pitch applications.
3Measurement precision
If distributed Bragg reflectors are added between semiconductor light emitting elements to manage color emission, then color accuracy is improved, but device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The distributed Bragg reflectors in the stacked configuration serve multiple functions: they reflect specific wavelengths to improve color accuracy, they act as part of the optical cavity structure, and they help manage light extraction efficiency. By integrating these reflectors into the existing stacked architecture, the patent achieves color accuracy improvement while minimizing additional structural complexity.
