Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If LED chips are arranged in high density on the entire plate substrate, then the light output intensity increases, but the light uniformity deteriorates due to proximity effects near junction areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight output intensityVSAvoidlight uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by varying the LED chip arrangement density across different regions of the mounting plate. Specifically, the first arrangement density in the first region is different from the second arrangement density in the second region, allowing high density in areas needing intensity while maintaining uniformity in junction proximity areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of manufacture

If plate substrate with insulation material is used, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the heat dissipation efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidheat dissipation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite structure combining metal mounting plate with thermal conduction properties and insulation layers. The mounting plate is configured to conduct heat away from LED chips while insulation layers prevent heat transfer to sensitive components, achieving both thermal management and manufacturing simplicity.
