Solution Overview

Problem

The attachment of functional panels to display devices using adhesives can lead to weakened adhesion due to external forces, causing the polarizing plate to separate from the substrate, resulting in defects like white spots on the screen due to incomplete adhesive strength and transmittance errors.

Innovation Solution

A display device design that includes a display panel with polarizing plates on both surfaces and an anti-stripping pad with a sloped upper surface, where the adhesive is applied to fill the boundary surface between the pad and the polarizing plate, ensuring uniform adhesion and stress distribution away from the polarizing plate, thereby preventing separation and defects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If adhesive is used to attach functional panel to display panel, then the functional panel can be securely mounted, but the adhesion strength weakens under external forces causing polarizing plate separation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion strengthVSAvoidstability under external force
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A pad is introduced as an intermediary component between the functional panel and the display panel. This pad has a larger area than both the functional panel and the polarizing plate, and serves as a stress-distributing mediator that prevents concentrated forces from reaching the adhesive layer at the polarizing plate boundaries, thereby preventing separation while maintaining secure mounting

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If adhesive is applied to attach functional panel, then attachment is achieved, but incomplete adhesive coverage causes white spot defects on screen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment processVSAvoidadhesive coverage uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The pad acts as an intermediary that provides a larger, more stable surface for adhesive application. The adhesive is applied between the functional panel and the pad rather than directly to the display panel, allowing for more complete and uniform adhesive coverage. This eliminates the white spot defects caused by incomplete adhesive coverage while simplifying the attachment process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Provided is a display device that includes, for example, a display panel to which a first polarizing plate and a second polarizing plate are attached to a lower surface and an upper surface thereof; a pad attached to an edge region of the upper surface of the display panel; an adhesive layer on upper surfaces of the display panel and the pad; and a functional panel attached to the upper surfaces of the display panel and the pad by an adhesive, wherein the upper surface of the pad is a sloped surface rising from a boundary with the second polarizing plate to an outer side.
