Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices face reliability issues due to warpage caused by temperature changes, which affect their performance and lead to defects such as cracks and lifting of components.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a coated layer on its surface, featuring different emissivity and black concentration regions to manage temperature differences, reducing warpage by optimizing heat dissipation and stress distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the thickness of display device components is reduced, then the overall device thickness is reduced, but warpage due to stress difference from temperature change increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice thicknessVSAvoidwarpage
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating a coated layer with spatially varying black concentration across different regions of the plate. Specifically, the coated layer has higher black concentration in edge regions compared to the center region, which creates differential heat absorption characteristics that compensate for thermal stress-induced warpage in thin-component display devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of manufacture

If components are thinned to reduce device thickness, then manufacturing progress is achieved, but temperature-induced stress differences cause warpage and performance degradation

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the optical properties (black concentration) of the coated layer in different spatial regions. This parameter modification allows the plate to differentially absorb thermal radiation, creating internal stress compensation that prevents warpage and maintains display device reliability despite using thin components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
