Optical Display Adhesive Sheet for Strong Peel and Clean Rework
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing adhesive sheets for optical display devices face issues with poor peel strength and reworkability, leading to residue and foreign matter upon removal, which affects the appearance and attachment of new sheets.
Innovation Solution
An adhesive sheet composed of a hydroxyl group-containing (meth)acrylic copolymer, photocurable crosslinking agent, and thermosetting crosslinking agent, including isocyanate type crosslinking agents, with specific formulations to achieve peel strengths of 600 gf/in or more and surface energies of 70 mN/m or more, ensuring good residue characteristics and storage stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the adhesive sheet is attached to the display panel to protect components, then the peel strength is improved, but residue and foreign matter remain on the adherend upon removal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adjusts the surface energy parameter of the adhesive layer to a specific range (60-80 mN/m) to optimize the balance between adhesion strength and removability. This parameter change enables the adhesive to maintain strong bonding while allowing clean removal without residue, directly resolving the contradiction between peel strength and residue generation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a composite adhesive composition containing multiple components: hydroxyl group-containing (meth)acrylic copolymer as the base resin, photocurable crosslinking agents for UV curing, and thermosetting crosslinking agents for thermal curing. This composite formulation achieves both strong adhesion and clean removability by combining the beneficial properties of different materials
2Ease of repair
If the adhesive sheet is removed from the display panel, then the reworkability is improved, but residue and foreign matter obstruct attachment of new adhesive sheet
Solution Approach 1:
By precisely controlling the surface energy within 60-80 mN/m and adjusting the composition ratios of crosslinking agents, the adhesive achieves optimal removability. This allows complete removal without residue or foreign matter, enabling clean reworkability and subsequent attachment of new adhesive sheets without obstruction
3Strength
If the adhesive composition includes multiple crosslinking agents to improve peel strength, then the storage stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates photoinitiators that remain dormant during storage and only activate upon UV irradiation. This preliminary preparation allows the adhesive composition to maintain storage stability (low viscosity change, no premature curing) while still achieving strong crosslinked adhesion when properly cured, resolving the contradiction between strength and stability
