Solution Overview

Problem

In large-size infrared touch screens, the separate structure of surface glass and liquid crystal panel creates a gap that affects touching and viewing experiences and leads to rework and assembly failures during the assembly process.

Innovation Solution

A display panel design that integrates the surface glass and liquid crystal panel through a full-lamination process, using a front frame component to fix the display module to the backlight module, eliminating the gap between them and improving assembly efficiency and display effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the surface glass and liquid crystal panel are kept as separate structures, then the assembly process allows for independent handling of each component, but a gap is formed between them that affects touching and viewing experiences and leads to rework and assembly failures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly success rateVSAvoidstructure integration level
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the surface glass and liquid crystal panel into a single integrated structure through a full-lamination process, eliminating the gap between them. This combining approach resolves the technical contradiction by achieving both structural integration (improving reliability) while managing the complexity through a standardized lamination process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If the surface glass and liquid crystal panel are integrated through full lamination, then the gap is eliminated improving touching and viewing experiences, but the assembly process becomes more complex requiring precise alignment and bonding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegap eliminationVSAvoidassembly process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing the lamination process during the initial assembly stage, ensuring precise alignment and bonding between the surface glass and liquid crystal panel before subsequent assembly steps. This preliminary integration simplifies later manufacturing steps while achieving the required precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Object-generated harmful factors

If the surface glass and liquid crystal panel are repeatedly cleaned during assembly, then contamination is removed, but rework is required and assembly failures increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontamination controlVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary cleaning and protection measures before the lamination process, ensuring that the surface glass and liquid crystal panel are free from contamination prior to integration. This preliminary action eliminates the need for repeated cleaning and rework during assembly, thereby improving productivity while maintaining contamination control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
