Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lighting and display technologies face challenges in manufacturing large-size products with high yield and low production costs, particularly due to issues like wire scratching and excessive level differences during the manufacturing process.

Innovation Solution

A wiring board design comprising a mother board and a daughter board stacked with a bonding layer in between, along with side wiring connections, which allows for the prevention of wire scratching and reduction of level differences by strategically placing the second wiring layer on the daughter board away from the mother board.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the second wiring layer is disposed on the side of the second substrate proximate to the mother board, then the wiring board can achieve compact structure, but wire scratching occurs during manufacturing process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring board structure compactnessVSAvoidwire scratching prevention
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent moves the second wiring layer from the conventional position (proximate to the mother board) to the opposite side of the second substrate (away from the mother board). This dimensional repositioning in the thickness direction eliminates wire scratching issues while maintaining compact overall structure through the stacked mother board-daughter board configuration.

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

2Ease of manufacture

If the second wiring layer is disposed on the side of the second substrate proximate to the mother board, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but excessive level differences occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidlevel difference control
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

By repositioning the second wiring layer to the opposite side of the second substrate, the patent resolves the level difference issue. The via structures penetrating through the second substrate enable electrical connection while the spatial separation eliminates excessive level differences, maintaining manufacturing precision.

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

3Reliability

If the second wiring layer is disposed on the side of the second substrate away from the mother board, then wire scratching is prevented and level differences are reduced, but the wiring board structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire scratching preventionVSAvoidwiring board structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the wiring board into segmented components: mother board, daughter board, and second substrate, each with specific wiring layers. This segmentation allows the second wiring layer to be positioned on the opposite side of the second substrate, preventing wire scratching while managing structural complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a nested structure where the second substrate with its wiring layer is integrated within the daughter board, which itself is stacked with the mother board. This nesting approach accommodates the repositioned second wiring layer on the opposite side of the second substrate, preventing wire scratching while organizing the complex structure in a compact, hierarchical manner.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
