Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electrical debonding type adhesive sheets face issues with unstable voltage application due to protrudent parts that are not fixed and prone to unintended electrical contact, leading to potential short circuits and increased operation steps.

Innovation Solution

The adhesive sheet includes a substrate with electroconductive and base layers, featuring first and second protrudent parts that allow stable voltage application by folding back the first protrudent part towards the second adhesive layer and applying voltage to create a potential difference for debonding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a protrudent part is exposed to improve voltage application efficiency, then electrical contact is enhanced, but the protrudent part becomes unstable and may cause unintended electrical contact

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage application stabilityVSAvoidoperation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive sheet is divided into multiple protrudent parts (first protrudent part and second protrudent part) with different functions. The first protrudent part extends from the first adhesive layer while the second protrudent part extends from the second adhesive layer, allowing independent control and stable voltage application without unintended contact

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The folded-back first protrudent part acts as an intermediary element that stabilizes the voltage application structure. By folding back towards the second adhesive layer, it creates a stable configuration that prevents unintended electrical contact while maintaining proper voltage application to the electrical debonding type adhesive layer

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the substrate for voltage application is made thin and flexible, then adaptability is improved, but contact stability with voltage application device deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate flexibilityVSAvoidcontact stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The substrate for voltage application is segmented into multiple protrudent parts that extend from different adhesive layers. This segmentation allows the thin and flexible substrate to maintain contact stability through multiple contact points, preventing the instability that would occur with a single thin contact area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The protrudent parts extend in the plane direction of the substrate, creating a three-dimensional structure that enhances contact stability. By utilizing the plane direction extension rather than relying solely on thickness, the thin and flexible substrate achieves stable contact with voltage application devices

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
