Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If LED chips are arranged vertically on the substrate, then the electrical connection is simplified, but the penetration rate is insufficient for AR/VR and automobile windshield applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection simplicityVSAvoidpenetration rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from vertical arrangement to tilted arrangement of LED chips, changing the spatial dimension and angle of chip placement. This dimensional change allows light to pass through at oblique angles, significantly improving penetration rate while maintaining electrical connection effectiveness through adjusted electrode positioning.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the arrangement parameters of LED chips by introducing a specific tilt angle relative to the substrate normal. This parameter change optimizes both the penetration rate and display quality, achieving over 70% penetration required for AR/VR and automobile windshield applications while maintaining manageable manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the resolution is increased for better display quality, then the display performance improves, but the manufacturing complexity and difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display into precisely controlled pixel regions with tilted LED chips, allowing high resolution to be achieved through systematic arrangement rather than complex individual chip positioning. The tilted configuration enables better space utilization and reduces the number of chips needed for a given resolution, simplifying manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

By tilting LED chips at specific angles, the patent achieves higher effective resolution within the same physical area. The tilted arrangement creates optimized light emission paths and reduces pixel crosstalk, enabling high resolution displays with more manageable chip densities and simplified manufacturing processes.

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

3Reliability

If the penetration rate is increased to over 70% for AR/VR applications, then the application suitability improves, but the display structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepenetration rateVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves high penetration rates by optimizing the tilt angle parameter of LED chips rather than redesigning the entire structure. By adjusting this single critical parameter, the system achieves over 70% penetration suitable for AR/VR applications while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure that is easier to manufacture compared to complex multi-layer designs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The tilted arrangement of LED chips introduces asymmetric positioning that optimizes light transmission paths for high penetration applications. This asymmetric configuration allows light to pass through the display more efficiently at specific angles, achieving high penetration rates without requiring symmetric complex structures or additional optical components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry
