Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single light absorption dye is used in the adhesive binder resin, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the ultraviolet blocking effectiveness is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveultraviolet blocking effectivenessVSAvoiddye composition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines two different light absorption dyes (first light absorption dye and second light absorption dye) in the adhesive binder resin to achieve synergistic ultraviolet blocking effects. The first dye absorbs light in the 380-420nm range while the second dye absorbs light in the 420-480nm range, together providing comprehensive UV protection that neither dye could achieve alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive composition is formulated as a composite material containing the adhesive binder resin combined with two different light absorption dyes. This composite structure allows the adhesive to simultaneously provide bonding functionality and enhanced ultraviolet blocking performance through the complementary absorption spectra of the two dyes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If the amount of light absorption dye is increased to improve UV blocking, then the ultraviolet blocking performance improves, but the adhesion strength deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveultraviolet blocking performanceVSAvoidadhesion strength
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the concentration parameters of the light absorption dyes in the adhesive binder resin. By controlling the amount of first light absorption dye and second light absorption dye within specific ranges, the formulation achieves effective UV blocking while maintaining adequate adhesion strength. The parameter optimization balances the competing requirements of UV protection and adhesive performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If conventional adhesive materials are used, then the adhesiveness is maintained, but the visibility and durability under sunlight exposure deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedurability under sunlightVSAvoidsunlight exposure damage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful effect of sunlight (particularly ultraviolet radiation) into a beneficial protective function by incorporating light absorption dyes that specifically target UV wavelengths. The adhesive composition absorbs the harmful UV energy through the dye molecules, preventing this energy from damaging the display device, while the dyes are selected to not interfere with visible light transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)
