Solution Overview

Problem

Liquid crystal display panels with narrow picture-frames face challenges in securing a stable attachment of the backlight due to the limited area for double-faced tape, leading to integration issues between the backlight and the display panel.

Innovation Solution

A frame with recesses on its outer and upper surfaces is used to accommodate an adhesive, allowing the liquid crystal display panel to be fixed without the need for punched double-faced tape, enabling secure integration even with narrow frames.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a narrow picture-frame is used to improve display area ratio, then the area for attaching double-faced tape is reduced, but the backlight and liquid crystal display panel cannot be fixed reliably

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepicture-frame areaVSAvoidattachment reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the adhesive application area from the traditional double-faced tape punching method. By forming a recess in the frame and filling it with adhesive, the attachment function is separated from the punched tape structure, allowing reliable fixation without requiring large punched areas in the narrow picture-frame.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention transitions from a two-dimensional punched tape attachment to a three-dimensional recess-filled adhesive structure. The recess penetrates the frame thickness, creating a depth dimension that accommodates adhesive, thereby securing the backlight through vertical bonding rather than horizontal tape punching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If double-faced tape is used for fixation, then the backlight can be attached to the liquid crystal display panel, but the tape width cannot be reduced below a predetermined value due to punching requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation capabilityVSAvoidtape width
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The invention replaces the mechanical punching and taping system with a chemical bonding system. Instead of using physical punched tapes that require minimum width for handling and punching, adhesive is applied in a recess to create bonds, eliminating the mechanical constraints on width reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the attachment mechanism from a mechanical tape-based system to a chemical adhesive-based system. This parameter change allows the attachment width to be reduced below the predetermined punching limit, as adhesive can be applied in small quantities within the recess without requiring large punched areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Area of stationary object

If the picture-frame is narrowed to improve display area, then the overall device size is reduced, but the area for attaching components is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay area ratioVSAvoidattachment workability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention nests the adhesive application space within the frame structure itself by forming a recess. The recess is embedded in the frame body, allowing adhesive to be applied in a contained space that does not protrude outward, thus maintaining the narrow picture-frame profile while providing sufficient attachment area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The recess is formed in advance in the frame structure before assembly. This preliminary action creates a prepared adhesive application zone that guides the attachment process, making it easier to perform attachment work in the narrow picture-frame by providing a predetermined adhesive placement area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
