Solution Overview

Problem

Existing liquid crystal display devices face issues with obtaining a clear image when viewed from directions other than the front, particularly in vehicle displays where the display position and driver's line of sight are not parallel, leading to problems with viewing angle and contrast ratio.

Innovation Solution

A polarizing plate laminate is developed, comprising a polarizing plate with a first adhesive layer and a first separate film on one surface, and a second adhesive layer and a second separate film on the other surface, where the second separate film has a total thickness of more than 75 μm and 150 μm or less.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a thin second separate film is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the polarizing plate sags during attachment process causing bubbles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidattachment quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the thickness parameter of the second separate film to a specific range (75-150 μm) to prevent sagging during the attachment process. This parameter optimization ensures the film provides sufficient structural support while maintaining functionality, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the second separate film thickness is increased, then the sagging phenomenon is prevented, but the manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment qualityVSAvoidmaterial cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the thickness parameter to a specific range (75-150 μm) that provides the minimum necessary support to prevent sagging while avoiding excessive material usage. This balanced parameter selection resolves the contradiction between reliability and material cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If a thick second separate film is used, then bubbles are suppressed during attachment, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment qualityVSAvoidthickness control precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent defines a specific thickness range (75-150 μm) that balances bubble prevention with manufacturability. This range is thick enough to prevent sagging and bubbles but not so thick as to demand extreme manufacturing precision, resolving the contradiction between reliability and manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
