[0023] The following is an explanation of the implementation of the "size membrane" disclosed in the present invention through specific specific examples. Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the concept of the present invention. In addition, the drawings of the present invention are only simple schematic illustrations and are not depicted according to actual dimensions. It is stated in advance. The following implementation methods will further explain the relevant technical content of the present invention in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] It should be understood that although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various components or signals, these components or signals should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one signal from another. In addition, the term "or" as used herein may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items, as appropriate.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 6 , which is an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment discloses a sizing film 200 that can be cut (by a film cutting device 100) into a screen protector 200S for attachment to a mobile device M. The sizing film 200 has an area larger than the screen area of ​​any mobile device M.

[0026] In this embodiment, the sizing film 200 includes a base layer 201, a buffer layer 202, and a service layer 203 sandwiched between the base layer 201 and the buffer layer 202. The service layer 203 has a hardening film 2031 and a laminating film 2032 located on opposite sides thereof. The base layer 201 is attached to the laminating film 2032 of the service layer 203, while the buffer layer 202 is attached to the hardening film 2031 of the service layer 203.

[0027] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the size film 200 to not produce burrs after being cut and the cut edge to be a smooth and non-scratchy structure, the size film 200 preferably has at least some of the following features, but is not limited thereto. The bonding film 2032 is formed on the hardening film 2031, and the hardening film 2031 has a hardness of at least 5H. The buffer layer 202 includes a first buffer film 202a attached to the hardening film 2031 and a second buffer film 202b attached to the first buffer film 202a. In addition, the bottom layer 201 can be a plate 201a that is anti-cutting, or the bottom layer 201 can include the plate 201a and a dust removal film 201b connected between the plate 201a and the bonding film 2032, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the number of layers of the size film 200 can also be adjusted and changed according to actual needs (such as: omitting the dust removal film 201b).

[0028] The hardness of the hardening film 2031, the hardness of the first buffer film 202a, and the hardness of the second buffer film 202b decrease in sequence, and the thickness of the hardening film 2031, the thickness of the first buffer film 202a, and the thickness of the second buffer film 202b decrease in sequence. In this embodiment, the thickness of the second buffer film 202b is 40% to 90% (e.g., 75% to 90%) of the thickness of the first buffer film 202a, and the thickness of the first buffer film 202a is 60% to 75% of the thickness of the hardening film 2031. In other words, the sum of the thickness of the first buffer film 202a and the thickness of the second buffer film 202b is 60% to 105% (e.g., 95% to 105%) of the thickness of the bonding film 2032, and the thickness of the curing film 2031 is 55% to 90% (e.g., 75% to 90%) of the thickness of the bonding film 2032.

[0029] For example, the first buffer film 202a is made of a soft material (e.g., PET), and the second buffer film 202b is also made of a soft material (e.g., PE). Furthermore, the thickness of the first buffer film 202a can be between 95 microns (μm) and 110 μm, the thickness of the second buffer film 202b can be between 40 μm and 90 μm, the thickness of the hardening film 2031 can be between 130 μm and 190 μm, and the laminating film 2032 can be made of high-viscosity AB glue and have a thickness between 150 μm and 250 μm. The sheet material 201a can be white and have a thickness between 140 μm and 225 μm, and the dust removal film 201b can be transparent and have a thickness between 100 μm and 150 μm.

[0030] Specifically, the sizing film 200 (or the hardening film 2031 ) is limited to having a hardness of at least 5H (e.g., pencil hardness), and the area of ​​the sizing film 200 is larger than the screen area of ​​any commercially available mobile device. Furthermore, the material of the sizing film 200 can be adjusted and varied based on actual needs. For example, the sizing film 200 can be a flexible protective film made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET), or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), but this is not a limitation of the present invention.

[0031] In addition, in this embodiment, the sizing film 200 also has an identification code 2021 (e.g., a QR code) located on the buffer layer 202 (e.g., the second buffer film 202b). The identification code 2021 can be directly printed on the buffer layer 202 or separately attached to the buffer layer 202. The present invention is not limited to the above. Furthermore, the film cutting device 100 can scan the identification code 2021 of the sizing film 200 with a scanner 5 to generate a signal, and transmit the signal to a cloud server 300, so that the cloud server 300 can instruct the film cutting device 100 to select an appropriate drawing to identify the material of the sizing film 200 and cut the sizing film 200.

[0032] When the size film 200 is placed on the film cutting device 100 for cutting to form the screen protector 200S, the film cutting device 100 uses a film cutting tool 1 to first cut along a hole cutting path relative to the buffer layer 202 and the use layer 203 to form a positioning contour S2 with multiple positioning holes 2022, and then cut along a screen cutting path to form a screen contour S1 located inside the positioning contour S2.

[0033] Among them, since the film cutting equipment 100 cuts into the size film 200 by the buffer layer 202 (such as the second buffer film 202b) rather than by the bonding film 2032 of the use layer 203, it can effectively reduce the damage to the adhesive layer of the bonding film 2032, and avoid the generation of burrs on the use layer 203 (such as white edge type glue damage on the use layer 203), and make the cutting edge smooth and non-scratching.

[0034] Furthermore, after the sizing film 200 is cut to form the screen protector 200S, the user layer 203 and the buffer layer 202 together form a screen area 200S1 and a positioning area 200S2 surrounding the screen area 200S1 and having a plurality of positioning holes 2022. In other words, the portion 203' of the user layer 203 located within the screen outline S1 can be attached to the screen of the mobile device M using a film applicator 400.

[0035] The film applicator 400 is formed with a receiving cavity 401 and a plurality of positioning posts 402 located on opposite sides of the receiving cavity 401. The receiving cavity 401 is used to position the mobile device M. The relative positions of the plurality of positioning posts 402 are equivalent to the relative positions of the plurality of positioning holes 2022 of the screen outline S1, and the relative positions of the plurality of positioning posts 402 relative to the screen of the mobile device M are equivalent to the relative positions of the plurality of positioning holes 2022 relative to the positioning outline S2 (or the edge of the screen section 200S1). It should be noted that the relative positions of the plurality of positioning posts 402 of the film applicator 400 are preferably maintained unchanged, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0036] Accordingly, when the mobile device M is positioned in the accommodating cavity 401 of the film applicator 400, and the multiple positioning holes 2022 of the positioning block 200S2 are respectively installed on the multiple positioning pillars 402, the screen block 200S1 (such as: the portion 203' of the usage layer 203) faces the screen of the mobile device M, so that it can be pressed and attached to the screen.

[0037] [Technical effects of the embodiment of the utility model]
