FPC Board Slits for Curved Display Stress Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing curved display apparatuses face stress issues with FPC boards connected to curved display panels, leading to potential troubles such as peeling off or broken wiring, as they cannot effectively reduce the stress applied to these boards.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating slits in the FPC boards that are connected to the curved side of the display panel, which reduces the stress by distributing it across multiple regions and terminals, thereby minimizing the risk of peeling off or disconnection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If FPC boards are connected to the curved side of the display panel, then the display apparatus can achieve a curved display structure, but stress is applied to the FPC boards causing potential troubles
Solution Approach 1:
The FPC board is divided into multiple regions by introducing slits, which segment the continuous board into separate zones. This segmentation allows stress to be distributed across multiple smaller regions rather than concentrated across the entire board, reducing the overall stress impact on the FPC board while maintaining the curved display structure.
2Area of stationary object
If the FPC board is made larger to cover the curved side, then connection coverage is improved, but stress applied to the FPC board increases
Solution Approach 1:
By introducing slits that divide the FPC board into multiple regions, the stress distribution is optimized across the entire area. Each segmented region experiences reduced stress compared to a continuous board of the same size, allowing the FPC board to maintain adequate connection coverage while reducing overall stress through the segmented structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The slits are strategically positioned to create local variations in the FPC board structure. These local modifications allow different regions of the board to handle stress differently, with the slit regions acting as stress relief zones while maintaining connection coverage in critical areas.
