Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge in assembling display devices is the difficulty in controlling the volume of reinforcing glue, leading to excessive coating that affects the space for assembling other components, particularly when using air bonding or direct bonding techniques.

Innovation Solution

The use of a limiting adhesive tape is introduced, which is disposed at a preset position and covered by the adhesive body, allowing for precise coating of the adhesive within a moderate area, preventing overflow and ensuring adequate space for other components during assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If reinforcing glue is used to coat the edges of substrates to increase bonding firmness, then bonding strength is improved, but coating volume control becomes difficult causing excessive disposing range

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding firmnessVSAvoidcoating range control
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

A limiting adhesive tape is introduced as an intermediary component between the substrate and the reinforcing glue. The tape serves as a physical boundary that guides and restricts the flow of adhesive, ensuring it remains within designated areas. This mediator resolves the contradiction by enabling sufficient adhesive application for bonding strength while preventing excessive spread that would compromise manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The limiting adhesive tape is disposed on the substrate before the reinforcing glue is applied. This preliminary action establishes predetermined boundaries that control where the adhesive will flow and settle. By preparing the substrate surface with these limiting structures in advance, the system ensures both adequate bonding coverage and precise spatial control of the adhesive.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Strength

If reinforcing glue coating range is increased to ensure adequate bonding, then bonding firmness is improved, but space for assembling other components is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding firmnessVSAvoidassembly space
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The limiting adhesive tape acts as a spatial mediator that separates the adhesive application zone from other component assembly zones. By physically constraining the adhesive within specific boundaries, it ensures adequate bonding strength in required areas while preserving sufficient assembly space in other areas for double-sided adhesive and other components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The limiting adhesive tape creates localized adhesive zones with high concentration where bonding is needed, while preventing adhesive intrusion into areas where assembly space is required. This local quality control ensures that bonding firmness is achieved at specific locations without compromising the overall assembly space availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Quantity of substance

If reinforcing glue is coated to cover edge areas, then bonding coverage is improved, but interference with double-sided adhesive disposal occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive coverageVSAvoidcomponent assembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The limiting adhesive tape serves as a protective intermediary that shields specific substrate areas from reinforcing glue infiltration. This allows the reinforcing glue to be applied in sufficient quantities for edge bonding while preventing it from interfering with the disposal and positioning of double-sided adhesive and other components during assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
