Solution Overview

Problem

Existing adhesive members in display devices face challenges in maintaining stable bonding and display quality under various usage environments, particularly in preventing degradation from external light exposure.

Innovation Solution

A resin composition comprising specific monomers, a benzotriazole-based UV absorber, a diprenyl glycerin ether, and a photoinitiator with a bisacylphosphine oxide group, which forms an adhesive member that provides high reliability and low light transmittance, especially in the UV range, ensuring stable bonding and preserving display quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional adhesive members are used in display devices, then bonding between components is achieved, but degradation from UV light exposure occurs leading to reduced reliability and display quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive reliabilityVSAvoidUV light degradation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful UV light into a beneficial curing mechanism by incorporating photoinitiators that enable photocuring of the adhesive member. This allows the adhesive to be applied in a liquid state and then cured by UV exposure, transforming the harmful UV radiation into a useful curing process that enhances adhesive strength without degradation

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a composite resin composition containing multiple components: monomers with specific functional groups, photoinitiators, and UV absorbers. This composite formulation provides both curing capability through photopolymerization and protection against UV degradation, resolving the contradiction between achieving strong adhesive bonding and resisting UV-induced degradation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If UV absorbers are added to prevent light degradation, then display quality is preserved, but the resin composition becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay quality stabilityVSAvoidresin composition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the concentration parameters of UV absorbers and photoinitiators within specific ranges to achieve the desired balance between UV protection and curing efficiency. By carefully controlling these parameters, the patent maintains relatively simple resin composition while achieving both display quality preservation and reliable bonding

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Strength

If photocuring is used to form adhesive member, then bonding strength is improved, but control of transmittance and thickness becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive strengthVSAvoidthickness and transmittance control
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adjusts parameters including monomer molecular weight, photoinitiator concentration, and UV absorber content to achieve precise control over curing depth and final thickness. These parameter optimizations enable consistent manufacturing of adhesive members with controlled thickness and transmittance while maintaining high bonding strength through effective photocuring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
