Solution Overview

Problem

Existing flexible LED vehicle-mounted display screens face issues with damage to circuits during installation, bubble formation during glue application, inconsistent product appearance, low tensile resistance, poor user experience due to wireless communication limitations, and inadequate temperature and static electricity resistance, which hinder their acceptance in the civilian consumer market.

Innovation Solution

A production process involving FPC with enhanced circuit design, vacuum-assisted bubble removal, magnetic or negative pressure mounting, and intelligent glue application, combined with Bluetooth BLE communication and DMA-enabled MCUs for improved data transmission, to create a flexible LED screen with high tensile resistance and UV protection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If double-sided adhesive tape is used to adhere the flexible screen to the mold bracket, then the screen can be fixed during production, but the complex circuit is more likely to be damaged during collection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen fixation stabilityVSAvoidcircuit integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the double-sided adhesive tape from the process entirely. Instead of using adhesive tape to fix the flexible screen to the mold bracket, the invention uses a clamp-based mechanical fixation system that holds the screen edges without requiring adhesive materials, thereby eliminating the risk of circuit damage associated with tape application and removal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a clamp as an intermediary mechanical device between the flexible screen and the mold bracket. The clamp provides a secure fixation mechanism that distributes pressure evenly across the screen edges without direct adhesive contact, protecting the underlying circuits while maintaining production stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If PU glue is dripped on the lamp bead surface, then waterproof effect is achieved, but bubbles form in the gaps at the bottom of the lamp bead

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaterproof performanceVSAvoidproduct appearance quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies a release agent to the lamp bead surface before dripping the PU glue. This preliminary action creates a non-stick layer that prevents the glue from adhering to the lamp bead surface, allowing bubbles to escape easily during the gluing process without becoming trapped in the gaps at the bottom of the lamp beads, while still achieving the desired waterproof effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the potential harm of bubble formation into a benefit by using the release agent to control glue flow and bubble behavior. The release agent allows bubbles to rise and escape naturally during the gluing process, transforming what would be a defect into a controlled process feature that maintains both waterproof performance and appearance quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Ease of operation

If operators pull the flexible screen hard during collection, then the screen can be removed from the mold, but the circuit is more likely to be damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen removal easeVSAvoidcircuit integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent eliminates the need for hard pulling during screen collection by removing the double-sided adhesive tape that would require forceful removal. The clamp-based fixation system allows for gentle, controlled removal of the screen from the mold without subjecting the circuit to damaging tensile forces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the adhesive-based mechanical system with a clamp-based mechanical system. The clamp provides a secure hold during production but allows for easy, damage-free removal by simply opening the clamp, eliminating the need for forceful pulling that could damage the circuit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Productivity

If conventional glue dripping process is used, then production efficiency is maintained, but product appearance is inconsistent due to bubbles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction efficiencyVSAvoidproduct appearance consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies a release agent to the lamp bead surface before the glue dripping process. This preliminary step prevents bubble adhesion to the lamp beads, ensuring consistent appearance quality across all products while maintaining the efficiency of the automated glue dripping process without requiring additional manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The release agent enables the glue and bubbles to self-manage during the dripping process. The bubbles naturally rise and escape without requiring external intervention, and the glue automatically forms a uniform waterproof layer, maintaining production efficiency while ensuring consistent appearance quality across all products.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present invention provides a flexible LED vehicle-mounted display screen and a production process thereof. The production process includes the following steps: adopting an FPC as a basic material of the display screen main body, fixing the flexible screen on a mold, mixing a PU glue, degassing treatment, glue dripping, automatic degassing, curing, and collecting. The flexible screen is fixed on a mold tray by magnetic suction or vacuum, and an air pressure sensor, a camera, a solenoid valve and the like are used to intelligently process the glue dripping and degassing processes. A plurality of Bluetooth BLE is installed on an FPC for communication, an MCU with a DMA function is adopted, and data are compressed to 50% of original data by an LZSS coding algorithm, which greatly reduces the time for the flexible screen to send data and improves the user experience.
