Solution Overview

Problem

Existing coating films for display device chassis lack sufficient adhesiveness, strength, and durability, especially in extreme outdoor environments, due to high brittleness and inadequate bonding with substrates.

Innovation Solution

A coating composition comprising 75-80% epoxy resin, 10-15% isocyanate compound, and 5-10% melamine compound, which forms a urethane bond to enhance flexibility, elasticity, and bonding strength, reducing brittleness and improving adhesiveness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If conventional coating compositions are used, then the coating film can be formed, but the adhesiveness and strength are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoating film strengthVSAvoidadhesiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite coating composition containing epoxy resin (70-80 wt%), isocyanate compound (10-20 wt%), and melamine compound (5-15 wt%). This multi-component composite system creates synergistic effects where epoxy provides base strength, isocyanate enhances flexibility and bonding, and melamine improves hardness and chemical resistance, collectively resolving the contradiction between strength and adhesiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes the weight ratio parameters of the coating components, specifically setting epoxy resin at 70-80 wt%, isocyanate compound at 10-20 wt%, and melamine compound at 5-15 wt%. This precise parameter control ensures the coating film achieves both high strength and excellent adhesiveness by balancing the properties of each component

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If conventional coating films are used, then they can protect the chassis, but they exhibit high brittleness and crack easily

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedurabilityVSAvoidbrittleness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by incorporating isocyanate compound (10-20 wt%) which reacts with epoxy to form flexible urethane bonds, and melamine compound (5-15 wt%) which provides toughness. This parameter optimization reduces brittleness while maintaining durability, allowing the coating to withstand thermal expansion and contraction without cracking

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The coating composition creates different functional zones within the film structure: the epoxy-rich matrix provides overall strength, while the isocyanate-modified regions provide flexibility and stress absorption. This local quality differentiation allows the coating to resist both static loads and dynamic stresses, preventing crack formation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Strength

If the coating film is made stronger, then it can resist damage, but it becomes more brittle and less adhesive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to damageVSAvoidbrittleness and cracking
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite system where epoxy resin provides the strength matrix, isocyanate compound introduces flexible urethane linkages that prevent brittle failure, and melamine compound adds dimensional stability and chemical resistance. This composite approach achieves high damage resistance without increasing brittleness, as each component compensates for the weaknesses of others

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The isocyanate compound acts as an intermediary between the rigid epoxy resin and the requirements for flexibility. It forms urethane bonds that create a transitional phase in the coating structure, allowing stress distribution and preventing the propagation of cracks, thus mediating between strength and brittleness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
