Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face challenges in efficient reworking without damaging the cover member and display panel, leading to issues like cracks and shrinkage during low-temperature disassembly and the need for additional materials in reassembly.

Innovation Solution

A display device design featuring attachable and detachable adhesive members, such as Velcro fasteners or dual locks, allows for easy separation and reassembly of the display panel and cover member without low-temperature processes, reducing material residues and costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If traditional adhesive methods are used to fix the display panel to the cover member, then strong bonding is achieved, but reworking causes damage such as cracks and shrinkage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidreworkability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive member is divided into two separate parts: a first adhesive member attached to the display panel and a second adhesive member attached to the cover member. These segmented adhesive parts can be independently removed and reattached, enabling reworking without damage while maintaining bonding strength during normal use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive system transitions from a static permanent bond to a dynamic reversible bond. The first and second adhesive members can be detached and reattached multiple times, providing adaptability for reworking while maintaining stable bonding during operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If low-temperature disassembly is used to separate the display panel and cover member, then separation is achieved, but defects such as cracks and shrinkage occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseparation easeVSAvoidproduct integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the adhesive into removable first and second adhesive members, the display panel and cover member can be separated at room temperature without applying stress or heat that would cause cracks or shrinkage, maintaining product integrity during separation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The detachable adhesive members act as intermediaries that facilitate separation without direct mechanical stress on the display panel or cover member, eliminating the need for low-temperature disassembly processes that cause damage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If additional materials are used for reassembly, then bonding is restored, but material costs and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereassembly feasibilityVSAvoidmaterial complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The first and second adhesive members are pre-attached to the display panel and cover member respectively during initial assembly. This preliminary action ensures that when reworking is needed, the adhesive components are already in place and can be simply reattached without requiring additional materials or complex reassembly procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of discarding the adhesive system after separation, the first and second adhesive members are recovered and reused for reassembly. This eliminates the need for additional materials while maintaining reassembly feasibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering
