Solution Overview

Problem

Adhesive compositions used in liquid crystal displays face challenges in maintaining adhesive durability under high temperature and humidity conditions while ensuring reworkability, as they often experience excessive adhesive strength increases or residue issues during peeling.

Innovation Solution

An adhesive composition with a specific ratio of initial adhesive strength to increased temperature adhesive strength of 2.0 or lower, formulated with an acryl-based copolymer and silane-based compounds, along with a tolylene diisocyanate-based cross-linking agent and anti-static agents, to balance durability and reworkability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a silane-based compound having an epoxy group is used as adhesive, then adhesive strength increases, but adhesive durability deteriorates under high temperature and humidity conditions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoidadhesive durability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical parameters of the adhesive composition by combining silane-based compounds with epoxy groups, cyano acetyl groups, and acetoacetyl groups in specific proportions. This parameter optimization allows the adhesive to achieve both high initial strength and maintained durability under high temperature and humidity conditions, resolving the contradiction between strength and reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite adhesive system by combining multiple silane-based compounds with different functional groups (epoxy, cyano acetyl, acetoacetyl) with acryl-based polymers. This composite approach leverages the complementary properties of each component: epoxy for initial strength, and cyano acetyl/acetoacetyl for heat resistance and reworkability, achieving both high strength and durability simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If adhesive strength is increased for better durability, then reworkability deteriorates due to excessive strength increase under high temperature and humidity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive durabilityVSAvoidreworkability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the ratio parameters of different silane-based compounds in the adhesive composition. By controlling the proportions of epoxy group compounds (0.01-5 parts), cyano acetyl group compounds (0.1-5 parts), and acetoacetyl group compounds (0.1-5 parts) relative to the acryl-based polymer, the adhesive achieves balanced performance with controlled strength increase under heat and humidity, maintaining reworkability while improving durability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces cross-linking agents as intermediary substances that mediate between the silane-based compounds and the acryl-based polymer. These cross-linking agents facilitate controlled cross-linking reactions that enhance durability without causing excessive strength increase, thereby preserving reworkability. The cross-linking agent acts as a buffer that moderates the adhesive strength response to temperature and humidity changes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Strength

If adhesive strength is increased to prevent peeling, then adhesive residue on substrate increases during peeling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoidadhesive residue
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adjusts the chemical composition parameters by incorporating silane-based compounds with specific functional groups that provide controlled adhesion. The cyano acetyl and acetoacetyl groups contribute to adhesive strength while maintaining clean peeling characteristics, preventing excessive residue on substrates even when high strength is achieved

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs acryl-based polymers as the primary adhesive matrix that provides initial bonding strength but is designed to peel cleanly without excessive residue. The silane-based compounds enhance durability without compromising the clean-peel特性 of the acryl-based system, allowing the adhesive to function effectively during use and then separate cleanly when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)
