Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face challenges in efficiently stacking components like a support member and a spacer on a display panel without causing damage, necessitating a complex adhesive layer application process.

Innovation Solution

The integration of a base member with integral adhesive layers for attaching a base film, support member, and spacer to a display panel simplifies the stacking process by eliminating the need for separate adhesive layers on the support member and spacer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If separate adhesive layers are applied on the support member and spacer, then the display panel can be protected during stacking, but the fabrication process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection of display panelVSAvoidfabrication process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate adhesive layers into a single integrated adhesive layer that simultaneously bonds the base film to both the support member and spacer. This merging eliminates the complexity of applying and aligning multiple adhesive layers while maintaining the protective function during the stacking process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The single adhesive layer is designed to perform multiple functions: it protects the display panel during stacking, bonds the base film to the support member, and bonds the base film to the spacer. This multi-functional adhesive layer replaces what would traditionally require separate adhesive applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Strength

If multiple separate adhesive layers are used, then each component can be securely attached, but the manufacturing time and process steps increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment strengthVSAvoidmanufacturing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple adhesive application steps are merged into a single adhesive layer formation process. The adhesive layer is applied once and then used to attach multiple components (base film, support member, and spacer) in sequence, thereby maintaining secure attachment while significantly reducing manufacturing time and process steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of manufacture

If a base member with integral adhesive layers is used, then the stacking process is simplified, but the base member structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestacking process simplicityVSAvoidbase member structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The base member integrates the base film and adhesive layer into a single pre-assembled unit. This merging simplifies the stacking process because the adhesive layer is already in position and ready for bonding, eliminating the need for separate adhesive application steps during assembly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
