Double-Sided Adhesive Sheet for Touch Panel Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional touch panel display devices suffer from visibility issues due to air gaps between the touch panel and the display device module, and existing double-sided adhesive sheets do not allow for easy separation and reattachment, leading to unnecessary discard of the display device module during repairs.
Innovation Solution
A double-sided adhesive sheet with a transparent acrylic resin layer and adhesive layers of different peeling strengths, where the first adhesive layer has a higher strength with the touch panel and the second adhesive layer has a lower strength with the display device module, ensuring secure bonding, improved visibility, and reworkability without leaving adhesive residue.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a conventional pressure-sensitive double-sided adhesive sheet is used to bond the touch panel directly to the display device module, then the air gap is eliminated and visibility is improved, but the display device module cannot be separated from the touch panel for repairs, causing it to be discarded
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive sheet is segmented into two distinct adhesive layers with different properties: a first adhesive layer with strong adhesion for permanent bonding, and a second adhesive layer with weak adhesion for easy separation. This segmentation allows the system to achieve both strong bonding for visibility improvement and easy separability for repairs.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the adhesive sheet have different local qualities - the first adhesive layer has high adhesion strength while the second adhesive layer has low adhesion strength. This local quality differentiation enables the dual functionality of permanent fixation and easy removal in different areas of the same adhesive sheet.
2Strength
If a double-sided adhesive sheet with uniform adhesive strength is used, then the touch panel is securely bonded to the display device module, but the adhesive residue remains upon separation and the components cannot be reattached
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive sheet is divided into two functional segments: a first adhesive layer designed for strong bonding with high adhesion strength, and a second adhesive layer designed for easy separation with low adhesion strength. This segmentation resolves the contradiction between secure bonding and easy reworkability.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using uniform adhesive strength throughout, the invention inverts the approach by making one side strongly adhesive and the other side weakly adhesive. This inversion allows the adhesive sheet to provide both strong bonding capability and easy separation capability.
3Strength
If the adhesive strength between the second adhesive layer and the display device module is high, then the bonding is secure, but the touch panel and display device module cannot be separated for repairs
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive sheet exhibits different local qualities at its two surfaces: the first adhesive layer has high adhesion strength for secure bonding, while the second adhesive layer has low adhesion strength for easy separation. This local quality variation enables the system to achieve both secure bonding and easy repairability.
Solution Approach 2:
The adhesive system is segmented into two distinct layers with different adhesive strengths. The first layer provides strong bonding to the touch panel, while the second layer provides weak bonding to the display device module, enabling controlled separation for repairs.
