Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If Mini LEDs are used to prepare high contrast or high brightness light-emitting modules, then local dimming performance is improved, but manufacturing precision limitations result in poor display effects due to low arrangement density

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal dimming performanceVSAvoidarrangement density
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the light-emitting units into two distinct groups: first light-emitting units disposed on the first substrate and second light-emitting units disposed on the second substrate. This segmentation allows independent control and optimization of each group, overcoming the limitations of manufacturing precision by enabling separate alignment and positioning processes for each substrate's light-emitting units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a single-substrate arrangement to a multi-substrate three-dimensional configuration. First light-emitting units are positioned on the first substrate while second light-emitting units are positioned on the second substrate, creating vertical stacking. This dimensional change increases arrangement density and improves display effects by utilizing both horizontal and vertical spatial dimensions.

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

2Illumination intensity

If Mini LEDs are used to prepare high contrast or high brightness light-emitting modules, then local dimming performance is improved, but power consumption increases leading to localized heating

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidlocalized heating
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the light-emitting units into two separate groups on different substrates, the patent enables independent power control for each group. This segmentation allows the system to control power consumption more precisely, preventing excessive heat generation in any single location while maintaining high brightness output.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic or pulsed control of the light-emitting units through the control panel, allowing selective activation of first and second light-emitting units. This periodic action enables dynamic power management that prevents localized heating while maintaining high brightness when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Illumination intensity

If Mini LEDs are used to prepare high contrast or high brightness light-emitting modules, then local dimming performance is improved, but yield decreases due to precision limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal dimming performanceVSAvoidyield
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the light-emitting units into two separate groups on different substrates, allowing independent quality control and alignment processes for each group. This segmentation reduces the impact of precision limitations on overall yield, as each substrate can be optimized independently for manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a control panel as an intermediary component that selectively controls the light-emitting units. This intermediary enables precise control over which light-emitting units are active, allowing for better quality selection and control, thereby improving yield by ensuring only properly functioning units are utilized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A light-emitting module (10) and a display device (00), relating to the technical field of display. The light-emitting module (10) comprises a first substrate (101), a plurality of first light-emitting units (102) located on the first substrate (101), a second substrate (103), and a plurality of second light-emitting units (104) located on the second substrate (103). Light emitted by the plurality of first light-emitting units (102) is projected in a direction away from the first substrate (101) through holes (103a) in the second substrate (103), and light emitted by the plurality of second light-emitting units (104) is also projected in the direction away from the first substrate (101), so that the light-emitting brightness of the light-emitting module (10) can be increased, thereby improving the display effect of the display device (00). In addition, because the plurality of first light-emitting units (102) and the plurality of second light-emitting units (104) are respectively arranged on two substrates, the light-emitting units arranged on each of the two substrates can be controlled independently, thereby avoiding the increase of power of a driving chip in the light-emitting module (10), avoiding local heating of the light-emitting module (10), and ensuring the product yield.
