Solution Overview

Problem

Existing photosensitive materials used in display devices with touch panels have high relative permittivity, leading to issues like increased electrical resistance and corrosion, which are not adequately addressed by current technologies.

Innovation Solution

A photosensitive material is developed that includes a polymer with a carboxy group and a compound capable of reducing the carboxy group amount upon exposure, resulting in a film with lower relative permittivity, achieved through specific chemical structures and exposure processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional photosensitive material is used to form a protective film, then the film provides protection against metal corrosion and disconnection, but the film has high relative permittivity which increases electrical resistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection against corrosion and disconnectionVSAvoidrelative permittivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the photosensitive material by incorporating specific compounds (compounds B and C) that reduce the relative permittivity of the cured film. The material maintains protective functions while achieving lower permittivity values, directly resolving the contradiction between reliability and electrical resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite photosensitive material system combining polymer A (with carboxy groups) and compound B (with structure b0). This composite approach allows the material to simultaneously provide corrosion protection through the polymer matrix and reduce permittivity through the specific chemical interactions of compound B, addressing both requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a resin pattern is disposed on the conductive pattern to prevent metal corrosion, then corrosion protection is improved, but the electrical resistance between electrodes and drive circuits increases due to high relative permittivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetal corrosion protectionVSAvoidelectrical resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the dielectric parameter (relative permittivity) of the protective resin pattern by using a photosensitive material containing compound B. This chemical composition change reduces the permittivity from conventional high values to lower values, thereby decreasing electrical resistance while maintaining the corrosion protection function of the resin pattern.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If the amount of carboxy group in the polymer is high, then the photosensitive material provides good protective film formation, but the relative permittivity of the formed film becomes too high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotective film formation qualityVSAvoidrelative permittivity of formed film
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces compound B as an intermediary substance that mediates between the carboxy groups of polymer A and the final film properties. Compound B interacts with the carboxy groups during the photosensitive process to reduce the overall permittivity contribution, allowing good film formation to be maintained while permittivity is reduced.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes the balance between carboxy group content and compound B content to achieve the desired permittivity reduction. By controlling the ratio and concentration of these components, the material maintains sufficient carboxy groups for good film formation while the compound B reduces the net permittivity to acceptable levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
