Solution Overview

Problem

Existing displaying modules with extremely-narrow-border-frame screens face challenges such as high difficulty in fabrication, insufficient mechanical strength, and excessive edge light leakage due to the low width of the black matrix, which complicates the assembly and reduces display quality.

Innovation Solution

A displaying module comprising a liquid-crystal display panel, an adhering layer, and an optical film arranged in a layer configuration, where the adhering layer is disposed between the liquid-crystal display panel and the optical film to ensure full adhesion, eliminating the need for a middle frame and enhancing mechanical strength and light management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a traditional middle frame is used to support the optical film, then the mechanical strength is sufficient, but the frame shields the displayed frame and cannot satisfy the requirement for extremely-narrow-border-frame screens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemechanical strengthVSAvoidframe structure
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the traditional middle frame structure from the display module. Instead of using a separate frame to support the optical film, the invention directly bonds the optical film to the liquid crystal display panel through adhesive layers, eliminating the frame component that would shield the display and simplify the overall structure for extremely-narrow-border-frame applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the support function previously performed by the middle frame into the adhesive bonding system. The adhesive layer not only bonds the optical film to the panel but also provides structural support, combining multiple functions into a single integrated solution that eliminates the need for a separate frame structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Length of moving object

If the black matrix width is reduced for extremely-narrow-border-frame screens, then the display border is narrower, but edge light leakage increases due to insufficient light shielding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveborder widthVSAvoidedge light leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a light shielding layer as an intermediary component between the liquid crystal display panel and the optical film. This layer, positioned at the edges and made of light-absorbing materials, actively blocks stray light from leaking while allowing the black matrix to maintain its reduced width for the extremely-narrow-border-frame design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies light shielding properties locally at the edge regions where light leakage occurs, rather than requiring the entire black matrix to be wide. The light shielding layer is specifically positioned at the periphery to address the local light leakage problem while maintaining the overall narrow border design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If a simple extremely narrow middle frame is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the fabricating difficulty increases and mechanical strength becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe structureVSAvoidfabricating process
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the middle frame component entirely, eliminating the complex fabrication processes associated with creating and assembling narrow frames. The optical film is directly bonded to the panel, simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining structural integrity through the adhesive bonding system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Device complexity

If the middle frame is removed for narrow border design, then the display quality is improved, but the contact area with optical film is excessively small and cannot press the optical film properly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe structureVSAvoidcontact area
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the bonding and pressing functions into a single adhesive layer system. The adhesive not only bonds the optical film to the panel but also provides sufficient contact area and pressing force through its material properties and layer configuration, eliminating the need for a mechanical frame to provide contact and pressure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
