Solution Overview

Problem

Existing liquid crystal display devices face challenges in reducing panel thickness while maintaining mechanical strength, leading to issues like image doubling due to external light refraction and difficulties in uniform adhesive lamination, which affects manufacturing yield and image quality.

Innovation Solution

A liquid crystal display device with a picture-frame-shaped light blocking film formed by printing black ink on the face plate, using an ultraviolet curing resin to adhere the face plate to the polarizer, and controlling the Si content in the ink to prevent bubble formation and enhance adhesive strength.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If the thickness of the liquid crystal display panel is reduced by polishing, then the profile size and thickness are decreased, but the mechanical strength is weakened making the panel susceptible to breaking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethickness of liquid crystal display panelVSAvoidmechanical strength of liquid crystal display panel
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

A face plate is mounted on the screen side of the liquid crystal display panel before use, serving as a protective cushion that absorbs external mechanical forces and prevents the thin panel from breaking

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

2Strength

If a face plate is mounted on the liquid crystal display panel to protect it, then mechanical strength is improved, but external light refraction causes image doubling and display quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemechanical strength of liquid crystal display panelVSAvoiddisplay quality and image clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

An adhesive elastic body is introduced as an intermediary layer between the face plate and the liquid crystal display panel. This intermediate layer has a refractive index matched to reduce light refraction and eliminate image doubling, while still providing mechanical protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Strength

If adhesive material is applied between the face plate and liquid crystal display panel, then mechanical bonding is achieved, but bubble formation and non-uniform lamination occur reducing manufacturing yield

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive bond strengthVSAvoiduniformity of adhesive lamination
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The refractive index parameter of the adhesive elastic body is specifically adjusted to match that of the face plate and liquid crystal display panel. This parameter change reduces light refraction effects and enables uniform adhesive distribution, preventing bubble formation and improving lamination quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A liquid crystal display device which can prevent the generation of bubbles on an adhesive surface between a liquid crystal display panel and a face plate which protects the liquid crystal display panel is provided. In mounting the face plate on an upper polarizer of the liquid crystal display panel by way of an adhesive material, a picture frame is formed on a periphery of the face plate for enhancing design property. Although the picture frame is formed by printing black ink, a quantity of Si present in the black ink is set to not more than 0.7% and not less than 0.01% thus preventing the generation of bubbles attributed to defective adhesion between the face plate and the adhesive material.
