Solution Overview
Problem
Flexible display panels with inorganic insulating layers are prone to cracking or breaking when repeatedly bent, leading to short circuits and degradation in display quality due to stress, which existing technologies fail to adequately address.
Innovation Solution
A flexible display panel design featuring a reinforced insulating layer with reinforcing holes filled with organic material, reducing the area covered by the insulating layer and enhancing bending resistance without compromising insulation functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an inorganic insulating layer is used to insulate conductive films, then insulation performance is improved, but the layer is prone to cracking or breaking when repeatedly bent due to stress
Solution Approach 1:
The inorganic insulating layer is divided into multiple regions: a first insulating region and a second insulating region with different material compositions or structures. This segmentation allows each region to have optimized properties - the first region provides insulation while the second region enhances bending resistance, resolving the contradiction between insulation performance and bending resistance
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite material structures where the insulating layer combines different inorganic materials or integrates with organic flexible layers. This composite approach maintains the insulation functionality while introducing materials with better flexibility and bending resistance, preventing cracking during repeated bending
2Strength
If the insulating layer area is reduced to enhance bending resistance, then flexibility is improved, but insulation functionality may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the insulating layer are designed with different qualities - the first insulating region maintains full insulation coverage while the second insulating region has modified properties to enhance flexibility. This local differentiation ensures insulation functionality is preserved where needed while bending resistance is improved in other areas
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a vertical dimension to the insulating layer structure by creating multi-layer configurations or varying thickness across different regions. This dimensional change allows the insulating function to be maintained through sufficient insulation depth in critical areas while reducing horizontal coverage in areas requiring flexibility, thus resolving the contradiction between insulation functionality and bending resistance
