Solution Overview

Problem

Existing transparent light-emitting displays face challenges in securely mounting electronic devices like LEDs, as they are prone to detachment due to warping or external forces, which affects their stability and functionality.

Innovation Solution

A transparent light-emitting display film is developed with a transparent substrate, through holes for embedding light-emitting devices, and a connection member to electrically link the devices, ensuring secure attachment and minimizing protrusion, along with a method that includes applying a resin layer, forming electrode patterns, and creating holes perpendicular to the substrate for mounting and connecting the devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a transparent light-emitting display uses a film-like substrate with mounted electronic devices, then the display achieves transparency and flexibility, but the electronic devices are prone to detachment due to warping or external forces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransparency and flexibilityVSAvoiddevice attachment stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The light-emitting device is inserted into a through hole formed in the transparent substrate, nesting the device within the substrate structure. This embedding approach secures the device against detachment while maintaining the transparency and flexibility of the film-like substrate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The through hole is formed in the transparent substrate before the light-emitting device is mounted. This preliminary preparation of the mounting structure ensures proper positioning and secure attachment of the device, preventing warping and detachment issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Length of stationary object

If electronic devices are mounted on a transparent substrate, then the display can be made thinner and more transparent, but the devices may warp or bend under external forces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay thicknessVSAvoiddevice structural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

By nesting the light-emitting device within the through hole of the transparent substrate, the device is mechanically supported from all sides, preventing warping or bending under external forces while maintaining thin overall display thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection member combines the transparent substrate and the light-emitting device into a composite structure that distributes mechanical stress, enhancing structural stability while maintaining the thin profile and transparency of the display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If a through hole is formed to penetrate the transparent substrate for mounting light-emitting devices, then secure mounting is achieved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice mounting securityVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The through hole is formed in the transparent substrate before device mounting, allowing for precise positioning and alignment. This preliminary preparation simplifies the subsequent device insertion and connection processes, reducing overall manufacturing complexity despite the additional step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
