Problem

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

Innovation Solution

A display device with a heat dissipation member, including a heat dissipation plate attached to the display panel via an adhesive layer with embossed patterns to minimize bubble formation and a buffer member with a protrusion to protect sensitive components, ensuring efficient heat dissipation and preventing damage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If a heat dissipation plate is attached to the display panel, then heat dissipation efficiency is improved, but bubble formation in the adhesive layer deteriorates image quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat dissipation efficiencyVSAvoidbubble formation
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer is pre-formed with embossed patterns before attaching the heat dissipation plate. This preliminary structuring of the adhesive layer creates air channels that prevent bubble formation during the attachment process, allowing subsequent heat dissipation without quality degradation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer is designed with an embossed pattern structure that creates porous channels. These pores allow air to escape during attachment and prevent bubble formation, while maintaining adequate adhesive contact for effective heat dissipation between the display panel and heat dissipation plate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #31Porous materials

2Productivity

If the display device has larger size and higher resolution, then information display capability is improved, but heat generation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation display capabilityVSAvoidheat generation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer is segmented into multiple embossed patterns rather than being a continuous uniform layer. This segmentation creates a structured interface that maintains thermal contact while managing heat distribution across the larger display area, addressing the increased heat generation from higher resolution and larger size

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The embossed adhesive layer acts as an intermediary structure between the display panel and heat dissipation plate. It facilitates heat transfer from the high-resolution display elements to the heat dissipation plate while preventing direct adhesive contact that would cause bubbles, thus managing the thermal load from improved display capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
