Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If the anti-reflection layer is applied to the entire surface including non-emission areas, then the anti-reflection effect is improved, but the damage risk from bending stress increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-reflection layer is selectively applied only to the emission areas where light reflection needs to be reduced, while the non-emission areas remain without this layer. This localized application maintains the anti-reflection benefit for display quality while reducing the overall stress accumulation and damage risk from repeated bending operations.
2Reliability
If films and coating layers are added to improve display function, then the display performance is improved, but the susceptibility to bending damage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-reflection layer is selectively applied only to the emission areas where light reflection needs to be reduced, while the non-emission areas remain without this layer. This localized application maintains the anti-reflection benefit for display quality while reducing the overall stress accumulation and damage risk from repeated bending operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display is made flexible for wearable applications, then the adaptability is improved, but the damage risk from repeated bending increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-reflection layer is selectively applied only to the emission areas where light reflection needs to be reduced, while the non-emission areas remain without this layer. This localized application maintains the anti-reflection benefit for display quality while reducing the overall stress accumulation and damage risk from repeated bending operations.
