Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices are prone to damage and separation of components when stored in packages due to external shocks and movements, leading to potential damage to the protective films and structural components.

Innovation Solution

A package design featuring a body portion and a detachable support portion with a coupler, buffer, and contact portion, where the contact portion has a higher hardness than the buffer, ensuring stable storage and minimizing damage during movement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the display device is located in the package, then the display device is protected from external shock, but a portion of the package and a part of the display device may be in contact with each other causing damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexternal shock protectionVSAvoidpackage and display device integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

A support portion is introduced as an intermediary component between the display device and the package body. This support portion has a harder surface that contacts the display device, preventing direct contact between the display device and the package body, thereby avoiding damage to both the display device and the package while still providing shock protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the display device is located in the package, then the display device is protected from external shock, but the protective film on the display device surface may separate from the display device

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexternal shock protectionVSAvoidprotective film attachment
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The support portion serves as a mediator that prevents direct contact between the display device surface and the package body. By providing a harder contact surface, it reduces the risk of the protective film separating from the display device during storage and transport while maintaining shock protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Strength

If a support portion is added to the package, then damage to the display device is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay device protectionVSAvoidpackage structure
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support portion is designed as a separate, detachable component that can be easily integrated into the package structure. This segmentation allows the support portion to be added as a modular element, providing enhanced protection without significantly complicating the overall package design or manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
