Problem

Organic light emitting diode (OLED) display devices generate heat during operation, which can degrade the device and reduce image quality, particularly in larger and higher resolution displays, necessitating effective heat dissipation solutions.

Innovation Solution

The display device incorporates a heat dissipation plate attached to the display panel via an adhesive layer with embossed patterns to facilitate rapid heat discharge, and includes a buffer member with a protrusion to protect sensitive components from contact and heat transfer.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If a heat dissipation plate is attached directly to the display panel, then heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but bubbles may form during assembly affecting image quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidbubble formation
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer is designed with an embossed pattern creating a micro-structured surface that allows air bubbles to escape during assembly while maintaining effective thermal contact between the heat dissipation plate and display panel. The embossed pattern provides pathways for bubble release without compromising heat transfer efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

2Illumination intensity

If the display device has larger size and higher resolution, then light output and image quality are improved, but heat generation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight outputVSAvoidheat generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful heat generated by high-resolution, large-size displays into a manageable thermal flow by attaching a heat dissipation plate with optimized embossed adhesive patterns. The embossed structure facilitates efficient heat extraction pathways, transforming the heat problem into a controlled thermal management solution that enables higher light output without excessive temperature rise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Device complexity

If components are placed closer to the display panel, then device complexity is reduced, but heat transfer to sensitive components increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent arrangementVSAvoidheat transfer to components
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The heat dissipation plate features localized embossed patterns with varying densities and depths in different regions. Areas closer to sensitive components have optimized patterns that provide thermal management while maintaining component proximity. This local variation in adhesive structure allows close component placement without excessive heat transfer to sensitive elements.

Inventive Principle:
