Solution Overview

Problem

The existing packing processes for display apparatuses are inefficient, requiring multiple materials and processes to protect the display panel and prevent separation from the bezel during transport, leading to complexity and inefficiency.

Innovation Solution

A single display apparatus packing material with a protective sheet covering the front surface, bendable wing portions extending to cover the sides, and an adhesive member to secure the material in place, incorporating buffer members for impact protection, simplifies the packing process while providing comprehensive protection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple separate packing materials are used to protect the front surface and sides of the display apparatus, then comprehensive protection is achieved, but the packing process becomes complex and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection coverageVSAvoidpacking process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple separate packing materials (protective sheet for front surface and buffer members for sides) into a single integrated packing material that covers both the front surface and side surfaces of the display apparatus, thereby simplifying the packing process while maintaining comprehensive protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The packing material is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it protects the front surface from scratches, protects the side surfaces from impact, and prevents separation from the bezel, all through a single material structure

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

2Reliability

If multiple separate packing materials and processes are used, then adequate protection is provided, but packing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection effectivenessVSAvoidpacking efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple packing operations into one by creating a single packing material that can be applied in a single process, thereby improving packing efficiency without compromising protection effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The packing material is designed with pre-configured structures (protective sheet portion, buffer member portions, and adhesive portions) that are ready to provide comprehensive protection immediately upon application, eliminating the need for sequential packing steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
