Curved Display Bonding Surface for Delamination Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices in motor vehicles face delamination issues due to non-uniform adhesion forces when a cylindrical sheet is used, leading to potential detachment from the structural component, especially in the central part.
Innovation Solution
Designing the sheet and structural component with a hyperbolic cosine shape to ensure uniform adhesion forces, where the bearing surface of the structural component is curved according to a mathematical function with a hyperbolic cosine term, distributing loads effectively and minimizing delamination risks.

1Shape
If a cylindrical sheet is used to cover the display, then the display device gains an esthetic appearance and immersive impression, but the adhesion forces become non-uniform causing delamination in the central part
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a hyperbolic cosine curve to the bearing surface of the structural component, creating a specific curved geometry that matches the natural deformation of the sheet. This curvature is designed to distribute adhesion forces uniformly across the bonding surface, preventing delamination while maintaining the immersive curved display effect. The curve is defined by y(x) = a·cosh(x/b) + c, where the parameters are optimized to match the sheet's elastic deformation characteristics.
2Stability of the object's composition
If adhesive is used to fasten the sheet to the structural component, then the sheet can be held at the desired curvature, but delamination occurs due to non-uniform stress distribution
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a non-uniform bearing surface geometry that specifically addresses the stress distribution pattern. The hyperbolic cosine curve provides different local curvatures along the bonding surface, with tighter curvature in regions where the sheet experiences higher stress and gentler curvature where stress is lower. This localized geometric variation ensures uniform adhesion forces throughout the entire bonding area.
3Weight of moving object
If the sheet is made thin to reduce weight, then the display device becomes lighter, but the bonding surface becomes narrow increasing delamination risk
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the geometric parameters of the bearing surface from a simple cylindrical shape to a hyperbolic cosine curve. This parameter change in the bearing surface geometry allows for optimized stress distribution that compensates for the reduced bonding surface area inherent in thin sheets. The curve parameters (a, b, c in y(x) = a·cosh(x/b) + c) are specifically selected to match the mechanical properties and thickness of the sheet, ensuring reliable bonding even with minimal material.
