Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional full lamination of light guide plates in liquid crystal screen backlight modules leads to issues such as loss of diffuse reflection and guiding of light, increased cost, low yield, and dust entry due to air-filled spaces, while frame lamination introduces thickness and dust issues.

Innovation Solution

A liquid crystal screen backlight module design featuring a light guide plate with concave mesh points, connected to a transparent light conducting member in frame lamination, with one end face connected to a touch panel in full lamination, using transparent optical resin adhesive to maintain light guiding and prevent adhesive filling in mesh points.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If full lamination is used to connect light guide plate and touch panel, then dust entry is prevented and structural strength is improved, but the mesh points on light guide plate are filled with adhesive causing loss of diffuse reflection and light guiding effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedust preventionVSAvoidlight guiding effect
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The connection between light guide plate and touch panel is segmented into two parts: the periphery uses full lamination for dust prevention, while the central area with mesh points uses frame lamination to preserve light guiding function. This segmentation allows each region to be optimized for its specific function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different lamination methods are applied to different regions of the light guide plate-touch panel assembly. The peripheral region receives full lamination for sealing, while the central region maintains frame lamination to preserve the mesh points' optical properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Illumination intensity

If frame lamination is used to connect light guide plate and touch panel, then light guiding effect is preserved, but air-filled spaces remain causing dust entry and increased thickness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight guiding effectVSAvoiddust entry
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The connection structure is segmented such that the periphery uses full lamination to eliminate air-filled spaces and prevent dust entry, while the central area uses frame lamination to preserve light guiding function. This resolves the contradiction by applying different connection methods to different functional zones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Strength

If full lamination is used for light guide plate, then structural strength is improved, but manufacturing complexity and cost increase due to low yield and complete replacement requirement

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

Solution Approach 1:

The lamination structure is segmented into full lamination at the periphery for strength and dust prevention, and frame lamination in the center for manufacturability and light guiding preservation. This hybrid approach balances structural requirements with manufacturing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
