Solution Overview

Problem

The existing manufacturing processes for display panels often result in damage during the segmentation process, leading to reduced manufacturing yield and increased costs due to structural peeling issues.

Innovation Solution

A pre-treatment method is applied to the first bonding component within the motherboard, transforming a part of the bonding portion into a fractureable transformation portion through processes like laser or infrared heating, allowing for easier separation and reducing structural peeling during the segmentation process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional bonding component is used during segmentation, then strong bonding strength is maintained, but structural peeling occurs and manufacturing yield decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidmanufacturing yield
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding component is divided into two distinct regions: a first bonding portion with strong bonding characteristics and a second bonding portion with weak bonding characteristics. This segmentation allows the weak bonding portion to be easily fractured during segmentation, preventing structural peeling, while the strong bonding portion maintains reliable bonding. This directly resolves the contradiction by enabling both high bonding strength and high manufacturing yield through spatial division of bonding functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the bonding component are assigned different bonding strengths: the first bonding portion has strong bonding characteristics to maintain reliability, while the second bonding portion has weak bonding characteristics to facilitate clean separation during segmentation. This local differentiation of bonding properties eliminates structural peeling and improves manufacturing yield without sacrificing overall bonding strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of manufacture

If uniform bonding component is used, then manufacturing process is simple, but segmentation causes structural peeling and damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocess simplicityVSAvoidstructural integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding component is segmented into a first bonding portion and a second bonding portion with different properties. The first bonding portion provides strong bonding for structural integrity, while the second bonding portion is designed to fracture easily during segmentation. This segmentation approach maintains structural integrity while enabling clean separation, resolving the contradiction between process simplicity and structural reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding component is pre-designed with a weak bonding portion that is intended to fracture during the segmentation process. This preliminary design of the bonding component's structure ensures that when segmentation occurs, the weak portion breaks first, preventing structural peeling and damage to the panel, thus maintaining structural integrity while following a relatively simple manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Stability of the object's composition

If bonding component is designed for strong bonding, then panel stability is improved, but segmentation difficulty increases and damage occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepanel stabilityVSAvoidsegmentation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding component is divided into a first bonding portion with strong bonding characteristics that ensures panel stability, and a second bonding portion with weak bonding characteristics that enables easy segmentation. The strong first bonding portion maintains panel stability during operation, while the weak second bonding portion allows for easy and damage-free segmentation, resolving the contradiction between stability and segmentation ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the bonding component have different bonding strengths tailored to their specific functions. The first bonding portion has strong bonding properties to ensure panel stability, while the second bonding portion has weak bonding properties to facilitate easy segmentation. This local quality differentiation resolves the contradiction by providing strong bonding where needed for stability while enabling easy separation where needed for manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
