Solution Overview

Problem

The existing SMD holders have low light transmittance due to their nontransparent sidewalls, which obstruct the emission of light from the chip when powered on.

Innovation Solution

A hollow SMD holder with transparent plastic sidewalls, featuring a specific area ratio for the function, insulation, and second function areas, and a through hole for improved light transmission, along with a transparent insulation area and base coating for enhanced light emission and structural integrity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If nontransparent material is used for sidewalls of the SMD holder, then structural integrity and electrical insulation are improved, but light transmittance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidlight transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making different parts of the holder have different transparency properties. The sidewalls are made transparent to allow light transmission, while the bottom surface maintains nontransparent insulation properties. This is achieved by using a transparent insulating material for the sidewalls and a nontransparent insulating material for the bottom surface, thus resolving the contradiction between light transmittance and electrical insulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials with different optical and electrical properties for different parts of the holder. The sidewalls use transparent insulating material that combines both transparency and electrical insulation, while the bottom uses nontransparent insulating material. This composite approach allows the holder to simultaneously achieve structural integrity, electrical insulation, and light transmittance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If nontransparent material is used for the insulation area, then electrical insulation is improved, but light transmittance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical insulationVSAvoidlight transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the transparency of different functional areas. The insulation area in the middle section uses nontransparent insulating material to ensure electrical insulation, while the sidewalls use transparent insulating material to allow light transmission. This localized differentiation resolves the contradiction between electrical insulation reliability and light transmittance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Illumination intensity

If the area ratio of the first function area, insulation area, and second function area is optimized, then light transmittance is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight transmittanceVSAvoidarea ratio control
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent specifies a particular area ratio range (1:1:1 to 5:1:1) for the first function area, insulation area, and second function area to optimize light transmittance while maintaining manufacturability. By defining this parameter range, the patent balances the need for high light transmittance with practical manufacturing precision capabilities, avoiding overly stringent requirements.

Inventive Principle:
