1Reliability

If conventional adhesive layers are used in display panels, then bonding strength is maintained, but warping occurs in high temperature environments

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical-chemical parameters of the adhesive layer by controlling its glass transition temperature to be 50°C or higher and storage modulus to be 40 kPa or lower at high temperatures (85-95°C). This parameter optimization allows the adhesive to maintain bonding strength while reducing warping in high temperature environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite material design by combining specific adhesive materials with polarizing plates having perpendicular transmission axes. The adhesive layer is formulated as a composite with controlled glass transition temperature and storage modulus characteristics to achieve both bonding strength and warping resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Strength

If adhesive layers with high storage modulus are used, then structural rigidity is improved, but warping increases in high temperature environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural rigidityVSAvoidwarping
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the storage modulus parameter of the adhesive layer to be 40 kPa or lower at 85-95°C, which is a specific parameter change that allows the adhesive to remain flexible enough to accommodate thermal expansion differences while maintaining bonding, thereby reducing warping in high temperature environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer's mechanical properties are made dynamic with respect to temperature. The storage modulus is controlled to be temperature-dependent, allowing the adhesive to provide structural rigidity at operating temperatures while accommodating thermal stress through controlled flexibility in the 85-95°C range.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Illumination intensity

If polarizing plates with phase difference films are used, then optical performance is improved, but warping resistance is reduced in high temperature environments

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a composite structure where polarizing plates with phase difference films are combined with a specifically formulated adhesive layer. The adhesive layer's controlled glass transition temperature and storage modulus compensate for the warping tendency of the phase difference film, achieving both optical performance and warping resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by having different layers with different properties: the polarizing plates provide optical performance with phase difference films, while the adhesive layer provides mechanical stability and warping resistance through controlled glass transition temperature and storage modulus. Each layer performs its specialized function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
