Biometric Sensor Fixing via Dual Adhesive Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face challenges in stably fixing biometric sensors on the rear surface of displays without damaging the display and maintaining visual quality, as the display area with the biometric sensor appears different from other areas.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a first fixing member hardened at a specified temperature and a second fixing member hardened by UV light is used to securely attach the biometric sensor to the display, ensuring the sensor is fixed without damaging the display and maintaining its visual integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a biometric sensor is attached to the rear surface of the display using conventional fixing methods, then the sensor can be fixed to the display, but the display area with the sensor appears different from other areas and may be damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing process is divided into two stages: a first fixing member is applied to the sensor and partially cured, then a second fixing member is applied to the periphery and fully cured. This segmentation allows the sensor area to be fixed without fully saturating the adhesive, preventing visual defects while ensuring structural stability.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the display are treated differently: the sensor area uses a first fixing member with controlled adhesion, while the periphery uses a second fixing member for full fixation. This local differentiation ensures the sensor area maintains visual quality while still achieving reliable fixation through the combined fixing members.
2Reliability
If the biometric sensor is fixed firmly to the display, then fixing stability is improved, but the display may be damaged or visual quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive fixing is segmented into two members with different curing characteristics. The first fixing member provides initial fixation without full curing, reducing stress on the display, while the second fixing member provides peripheral support. This segmentation prevents excessive adhesive saturation that could damage the display.
Solution Approach 2:
The first fixing member acts as an intermediary that provides temporary fixation and distributes stress, preventing direct excessive adhesion forces from damaging the display. It serves as a buffer between the sensor and the fully cured second fixing member, protecting the display while ensuring stable fixation.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional adhesive fixing is used for the biometric sensor, then the sensor can be attached, but the adhesive may be visible and affect visual quality
Solution Approach 1:
The adhesive system is segmented into two members: the first fixing member is applied sparsely to the sensor and partially cured to minimize visibility, while the second fixing member is applied to the periphery and fully cured for structural integrity. This segmentation allows the adhesive to provide stable fixation while remaining visually minimal in the sensor area.
Solution Approach 2:
Different adhesive characteristics are applied to different locations: the first fixing member uses controlled adhesion properties in the sensor area to prevent visibility, while the second fixing member uses full adhesion properties at the periphery for structural support. This local quality differentiation achieves both visual quality and fixing stability.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The method allows for stable fixation of biometric sensors on the rear surface of displays without breaking or modifying the display, improving visual quality by making the sensor area visually indistinguishable from the surrounding display area.
Implementation Method 1
a first fixing member interposed between the partial area of the second surface and the biometric sensor such that the sensing surface is attached to the partial area of the second surface, and hardened at a specified temperature
Implementation Method 2
a second fixing member attached to at least a portion of the side surface and at least a portion of a peripheral area adjacent to the partial area of the second surface and hardened by light of a specified wavelength
