Solution Overview

Problem

Thin display panels are prone to cracking during transportation due to collisions with the interior of trays or jigs, as they lack adequate protection against impacts.

Innovation Solution

A display panel transfer method that includes a coating layer and an impact preventing layer, where the impact preventing layer covers the rear surface of the coating layer and has a larger area than the display panel, providing additional protection against impacts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a thin display panel is transported in a tray or jig, then transportation is enabled, but cracks may occur due to collision with the inside of the tray or jig

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation capabilityVSAvoidcrack prevention
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies beforehand cushioning by providing an impact preventing layer on the rear surface of the display panel before transportation. This layer has an area larger than the display panel area to ensure complete coverage, creating a protective cushion that absorbs impact forces during transportation and prevents cracks when the panel collides with the tray or jig interior.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

2Reliability

If an impact preventing layer with area larger than the display panel is provided, then crack prevention is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrack preventionVSAvoidlayer structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the area parameter of the impact preventing layer, making it larger than the display panel area. This parameter change ensures that the protective layer extends beyond the panel boundaries, providing comprehensive protection while maintaining a simple single-layer structure that does not significantly increase device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
