Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If each cathode electrode of light emitting elements is connected to a separate transparent electrode, then each light emitting element can be independently controlled, but the number of manufacturing processes increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveIndependent control of light emitting elementsVSAvoidManufacturing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple cathode electrodes are merged and connected to a single common transparent electrode, reducing the number of separate connections required. This combines multiple control functions into one electrode structure, thereby reducing manufacturing processes while maintaining independent control capability through selective activation of light emitting elements in the matrix arrangement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The common transparent electrode serves multiple functions by simultaneously acting as a cathode for multiple light emitting elements. This multi-functional electrode design eliminates the need for separate cathode electrodes for each light emitting element, reducing assembly complexity and improving productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If multiple transparent electrodes are used to connect to cathode electrodes, then proper electrical connection is achieved, but wiring complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveElectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidWiring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
