Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for cutting polarizing plates suffer from adhesive agent leakage during transportation, which can lead to positioning defects and product defects, and hardening the adhesive to reduce leakage results in adhesion and durability issues.

Innovation Solution

A method is developed to derive cutting conditions based on an adhesive agent leakage determination criterion using frictional force data between the polarizing plate and a guide unit, adjusting the cut surface shape and movement direction to minimize adhesive leakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-generated harmful factors

If a hard adhesive agent is used to reduce leakage, then adhesive leakage is reduced, but adhesion strength deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the adhesive layer thickness from the conventional 20 μm to a controlled range of 5-15 μm. This dimensional parameter change reduces the volume of adhesive material, thereby minimizing leakage during cutting and transportation while preserving the adhesive's bonding strength and durability properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-generated harmful factors

If the transport facility position is changed to avoid leakage, then adhesive leakage is prevented, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by optimizing the cutting conditions (cut depth, angle, and method) before the polarizing plate enters the transportation phase. By pre-controlling the cut surface quality and adhesive exposure through optimized cutting parameters, the system prevents leakage issues before they occur during transportation, eliminating the need for complex transport facility adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If multiple polarizing plates are stacked for mass production, then productivity increases, but adhesive leakage worsens due to excessive load

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemass production efficiencyVSAvoidadhesive agent leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by reducing the adhesive layer thickness to 5-15 μm, which decreases the adhesive volume and makes the stack more stable under compression loads. This allows multiple plates to be stacked for mass production while minimizing leakage caused by excessive load on bottom plates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The optimized cutting parameters create a cut surface that minimizes adhesive exposure and vulnerability to compression. By pre-processing the cut surface through controlled cutting depth and angle, the system provides inherent protection against leakage when plates are stacked, cushioning against the effects of excessive load before stacking occurs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)
