Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional LCD panels are prone to cracking under external forces due to structural weaknesses, compromising their reliability.

Innovation Solution

The LCD panel design includes an analyzer with adhesive properties on the active device array substrate, allowing the cover to be directly joined to the analyzer or through an optical adhesive layer, reducing the gap between the cover and the substrate and enhancing structural strength.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the conventional LCD panel structure is used with a gap between the cover and the active device array substrate, then the assembly is easier, but the structural strength and reliability are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the functions of the analyzer and adhesive material into a single integrated component. The analyzer is configured to have adhesive properties, allowing it to directly join the cover to the active device array substrate, eliminating the need for separate adhesive layers and reducing structural complexity while enhancing strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The analyzer is designed to perform multiple functions: optical analysis functionality and structural adhesive functionality. By endowing the analyzer with adhesive properties, it serves both as an optical component and as a bonding agent, reducing the number of separate components needed in the structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Strength

If the cover is joined to the analyzer through an optical adhesive layer, then the optical performance is maintained, but the structural strength under external force is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to external forcesVSAvoidcracking resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the adhesive function directly into the analyzer, eliminating the need for a separate optical adhesive layer. This integration allows the cover to be directly joined to the active device array substrate through the analyzer itself, providing stronger structural bonding while maintaining optical performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent removes the optical adhesive layer from the structure by incorporating adhesive properties directly into the analyzer. This extraction of the separate adhesive component eliminates the weakness it introduced while preserving the necessary optical functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
