Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional laminated polyester films exhibit insufficient adhesiveness between the film and print or hard coating layers, particularly under high temperature and humidity conditions, and lack sufficient antistatic properties, which are essential for applications in electronic devices like cell-phone housings.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional adhesive layer is used in the laminated polyester film, then the film can be manufactured with basic adhesive properties, but the adhesiveness to print layer or hard coating layer becomes insufficient, especially under high temperature and humidity conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the adhesive layer by incorporating specific polymers (polyester resin with carboxyl groups, acrylic resin with carboxyl groups, and polyurethane resin) in controlled ratios. This chemical parameter modification enables the adhesive layer to maintain strong bonding to both polyester film and print/hard coating layers even in high temperature and humidity environments, resolving the degradation issue.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite adhesive layer by combining multiple resin types (polyester, acrylic, and polyurethane resins) with complementary properties. This composite structure leverages the strengths of each resin: polyester for thermal stability, acrylic for adhesion, and polyurethane for flexibility and moisture resistance, achieving reliable adhesiveness under hygrothermal conditions.
2Reliability
If the adhesive layer is made to improve adhesiveness, then bonding strength increases, but static electricity generation occurs during manufacturing, deteriorating handling performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the electrical properties of the adhesive layer by carefully controlling the resin composition and adding antistatic agents. The specific ratio of polyester, acrylic, and polyurethane resins, combined with antistatic additives, adjusts the surface resistivity to a range that prevents excessive static electricity generation while preserving adhesive performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces antistatic agents as intermediary substances within the adhesive layer. These agents act as mediators that dissipate static electricity buildup during manufacturing processes without interfering with the adhesive bonding function, thus resolving the conflict between adhesiveness and static electricity generation.
3Reliability
If the adhesive layer composition is optimized for adhesiveness, then bonding strength improves, but transparency of the laminated film decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the refractive index matching between the adhesive layer components and the polyester film substrate by selecting resins with compatible optical properties. The controlled composition of polyester, acrylic, and polyurethane resins, along with precise additive levels, ensures the adhesive layer remains optically transparent while maintaining enhanced adhesiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies the principle of local quality by ensuring the adhesive layer has locally optimized properties: chemically active groups for adhesion at the interfaces, while the bulk composition maintains optical clarity. The carboxyl-containing resins provide localized bonding capability without compromising overall transparency.
