Embedded Waterproof Member Layout for Display Driver Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Organic light-emitting display devices are vulnerable to damage from external moisture and liquids, and existing waterproofing solutions can be improperly attached or displaced, compromising their protection.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a cover member with a recessed guide portion and embedded waterproof member, where the waterproof member is partially embedded in the cover member, ensuring correct positioning and effective liquid barrier.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a waterproof member is placed on the surface of the cover member, then liquid protection is provided, but the waterproof member can be attached incorrectly or displaced by liquid
Solution Approach 1:
The guide portion acts as an intermediary structure between the cover member and the waterproof member. It provides a recessed area that receives and positions the waterproof member, ensuring correct placement while preventing displacement by external liquids. The guide portion mediates the interaction between the waterproof member and the cover member, solving the positioning accuracy problem.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide portion is pre-formed on the cover member surface before the waterproof member is attached. This preliminary structural preparation creates a designated recessed area that guides and constrains the waterproof member to the correct position during assembly, preventing incorrect attachment from the outset.
2Manufacturing precision
If the waterproof member is embedded in the cover member, then positioning is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The cover member is segmented into distinct functional areas: the main cover surface and the recessed guide portion. This segmentation allows the guide portion to be formed as a separate structural feature that provides positioning functionality without requiring a completely new complex assembly structure. The guide portion is integrated into the cover member but functions as a distinct element.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide portion utilizes the thickness dimension of the cover member by creating a recessed area that extends downward from the surface. This dimensional approach provides positioning capability through vertical depth rather than requiring complex lateral structures, embedding the waterproof member in a controlled manner while maintaining relative structural simplicity.
