Solution Overview

Problem

In liquid crystal display panels, the spacer can slide back and forth, causing damage to the inner surfaces of the color filter substrate and array substrate, leading to uneven displays and reduced panel quality.

Innovation Solution

A bonding agent is applied to the inner surfaces of the substrates at the position corresponding to the spacer, connecting them and preventing the spacer from sliding, thereby enhancing the structural integrity and display quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of stationary object

If a spacer is formed on the color filter substrate to maintain cell thickness, then the display panel achieves proper cell thickness, but the spacer may slide back and forth during cell assembly or use, causing damage to the inner surfaces of the substrates and decreasing display quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecell thicknessVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies a bonding agent to the inner surface of the color filter substrate at the position corresponding to the spacer before cell assembly. This preliminary action secures the spacer in place, preventing it from sliding back and forth during assembly or use, thereby avoiding damage to the alignment film and ensuring display quality while maintaining proper cell thickness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding agent acts as an intermediary substance between the color filter substrate and the spacer. It creates a secure connection that prevents the spacer from moving, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining cell thickness (spacer function) and preventing damage to substrates (display quality)

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
