Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional liquid crystal display (LCD) panels are susceptible to damage and separation from the backlight module due to external forces, as the protective panel concentrates stress on the liquid crystal panel, leading to structural integrity issues.

Innovation Solution

A panel display module comprising a backlight module, a display panel, a clear cover, and reinforced glue, where the reinforced glue encircles the frame and clear cover, providing structural protection and maintaining the positional stability of the display panel relative to the frame, preventing separation or movement induced by external forces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If the protective panel is connected only to the liquid crystal panel, then the protective panel can cover the internal components and increase outer visual appeal, but the liquid crystal panel will separate from the backlight module due to pulling effect from external forces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage area of protective panelVSAvoidpositional stability of display panel relative to backlight module
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a reinforced structure (adhesive layer or reinforcement plate) as an intermediary between the protective panel and the display panel/backlight module assembly. This intermediary distributes the pulling forces from external forces applied to the protective panel, preventing direct stress concentration on the display panel and its connection to the backlight module, thereby maintaining positional stability while preserving full coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If the protective panel is connected only to the liquid crystal panel, then the assembly is simpler, but most of the stress is concentrated on the liquid crystal panel making it more susceptible to damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection structure complexityVSAvoidstress resistance of liquid crystal panel
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the force transmission path by introducing a separate reinforcement structure (adhesive layer extending beyond boundaries or a reinforcement plate) that creates an additional load-bearing pathway. This segmentation allows the reinforcement structure to bear the majority of external stresses, thereby protecting the liquid crystal panel from stress concentration while maintaining a relatively simple overall assembly structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The reinforced glue enhances the structural integrity of the panel display module, preventing damage and separation of the display panel from the backlight module by distributing external forces evenly, thus improving the module's resistance to external forces.

Implementation Method 1

The reinforced glue is distributed encircling the frame and adheres the frame and the clear cover on the portions protruding from the display panel

AI summary

A panel display module and a manufacture method thereof are disclosed. The panel display includes a backlight module, a display panel, a clear cover, and reinforced glue. The backlight module has a light source module and a frame that positions the light source module and other elements to provide structural protection. The display panel is disposed on the light exiting side of the light source module. The clear cover is disposed on one side of the display panel opposite to the light source module. The reinforced glue is distributed encircling the frame and adheres respectively to the frame and to the portion of the clear cover protruding over the display panel. The reinforced glue has a first side adhering onto the frame and a second side adhering onto the clear cover.
