VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If a PCB substrate is used as LED carrier with driving circuit on front side and driving component on back side, then large-size display products can be achieved, but small-size display products cannot be produced due to flexibility and heat dissipation limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidflexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display system into separate modules: the driving circuit is integrated into a driving backboard with heat dissipation components, while the LED array remains on the display panel. This segmentation allows the display panel to be flexible and thin, while the driving backboard handles heat dissipation and circuit functions independently, resolving the contradiction between achieving small size and maintaining flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
