Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If temperature sensors are installed in the display device to detect temperature and compensate display effects, then display effect stability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay effect stabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses the backlight module temperature as an intermediary indicator to represent the display panel temperature. Instead of directly installing temperature sensors in the display panel, the system detects the temperature of the backlight module (which has similar temperature characteristics) and uses this indirect measurement to compensate for display effects, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining display stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a simplified model by copying the temperature detection function to the backlight module. The backlight module serves as a representative copy of the display panel's thermal characteristics, allowing temperature compensation without requiring direct temperature sensing in the display panel itself

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Measurement precision

If temperature sensors are arranged on the reflector to detect backlight module temperature, then temperature detection accuracy is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature detection accuracyVSAvoidsensor arrangement precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs asymmetric temperature sensor arrangement patterns (such as arranging sensors at four vertices or at geometric centers of sub-areas) that are easier to manufacture while still achieving accurate temperature detection. These asymmetric patterns break the need for perfectly symmetric precision while maintaining measurement effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the reflector into multiple sub-areas (such as four quadrants) and arranges temperature sensors in each sub-area. This segmentation allows for more flexible and manufacturable sensor placement while improving temperature detection accuracy through localized measurements, reducing the overall precision requirements compared to a single centralized sensor

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
