Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a cover glass is fixed to the display panel using an adhesive layer, then adhesion between components is improved, but clearness and visibility of the display are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by combining an optical layer with specific particles (having refractive indices different from the matrix) embedded in a matrix material. This composite structure is then integrated with the glass plate and adhesive layer to form a multi-layer cover member. The composite optical layer simultaneously provides adhesion support and optical enhancement functions, resolving the contradiction between structural strength and visual clearness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by creating a specific optical layer with localized particle distributions and refractive index variations. The particles are strategically positioned within the matrix to create regions with different optical properties, allowing the cover member to maintain uniform adhesion while providing localized optical enhancement to improve display clearness and reduce glare.
2Strength
If the display panel is covered with a glass plate and adhesive layer, then structural protection is improved, but glare and distortion occur reducing image clarity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the refractive index distribution within the optical layer through the strategic incorporation of particles with specific refractive indices. This changes the optical parameters of the cover member to reduce glare and distortion effects, while maintaining the structural protection function provided by the glass plate and adhesive layer.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potentially harmful effect of light reflection and glare into a beneficial effect by using particles with specific refractive indices to scatter and redirect light. This transforms the harmful glare into a benefit by improving overall image clarity and reducing distortion, while the structural protection function remains intact.
