Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If different materials are used for folding area and non-folding area shielding members, then electromagnetic shielding performance can be optimized for each area, but structural complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies homogeneity by using the same electromagnetic shielding material (conductive polymer or metal foil) throughout the entire shielding member, including both folding and non-folding areas. This uniform material composition simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces structural complexity while maintaining adequate electromagnetic shielding performance across all regions.
Solution Approach 2:
The shielding member is designed as a universal component that serves multiple functions: electromagnetic shielding, structural support, and compatibility with both folding and non-folding display areas. By using a single material type for the entire shielding member, the patent achieves multi-functionality without increasing manufacturing complexity.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If multiple electromagnetic wave shielding layers are added, then electromagnetic interference shielding is improved, but device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the electromagnetic shielding into multiple functional layers: a first electromagnetic wave shielding layer closer to the display panel and a second electromagnetic wave shielding layer farther away. This segmentation allows each layer to address specific electromagnetic interference concerns while maintaining overall system manageability and manufacturing feasibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection member acts as an intermediary element that bridges the first and second electromagnetic wave shielding layers, ensuring proper electrical and mechanical connection. This intermediary component facilitates the integration of multiple shielding layers without proportionally increasing device complexity.
3Stability of the object's composition
If connection members are added to integrate shielding layers and digitizers, then integration seamlessness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection member merges multiple functions into a single component: it electrically connects the first and second electromagnetic wave shielding layers, provides mechanical support, and integrates with the digitizer assembly. This merging approach achieves seamless integration while minimizing the number of separate components required.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection member is designed as a universal interface that performs multiple functions simultaneously: electrical connection, mechanical support, and structural integration. By making the connection member multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
