Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional LCD display devices with narrow borders face issues of insufficient structural strength and light leakage or shadowing at the edge of the active area due to the extension of opaque frames and rubber into the pixel region, affecting image quality.

Innovation Solution

A display device design featuring a light-penetrated supporting frame, an optical film assembly, and a light-penetrated adhesive member, where the adhesive member has distinct portions for the non-pixel and pixel regions, and a connecting circuit board with a reflective surface to enhance structural strength and reduce light leakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a plastic frame and rubber are used to support the non-pixel region, then structural strength is improved, but light leakage and shadowing occur at the edge of the active area

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidlight leakage and shadowing
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the optical property of the adhesive member from opaque to light-penetrated (transparent), allowing light to pass through the adhesive member and eliminate shadowing effects at the edge of the active area while maintaining structural support function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The light-penetrated adhesive member serves as an intermediary component between the frame and the display panel, replacing the traditional opaque rubber seal while maintaining the bonding function and eliminating light leakage issues

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Area of stationary object

If the border width is reduced for narrow border design, then the display area is increased, but structural strength becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidstructural strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter of the adhesive member from opaque to light-penetrated, enabling the adhesive member to extend into the pixel region and provide structural support while maintaining optical performance for narrow border design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Area of stationary object

If the frame and rubber are extended to the pixel region, then the border area is reduced, but light leakage occurs at the edge of the active area

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveborder areaVSAvoidlight leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the principle of changing optical properties by using a light-penetrated adhesive member instead of opaque rubber, allowing the adhesive member to be extended into the pixel region without causing light leakage or shadowing at the edge of the active area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

A display device includes a supporting frame, a display panel, an optical film assembly, and a light-penetrated adhesive member. The supporting frame includes a first supporting portion, and the display panel is disposed on the supporting frame. The display panel includes a pixel region and a non-pixel region, and the non-pixel region is disposed outside of the pixel region. The optical film assembly is partially disposed between the first supporting portion and the display panel. The light-penetrated adhesive member is disposed between the first supporting portion of the supporting frame and the optical film assembly. The light-penetrated adhesive member includes a first portion disposed corresponding to the non-pixel region and a second portion disposed corresponding to the pixel region. The configuration can achieve the narrow border design, provide a sufficient structural strength, or improve the light leakage or shadow issue at the edge of the active area.
