Solution Overview

Problem

There is a need to improve the performance of quantum dot light-emitting display devices, particularly in terms of display quality and manufacturing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A display device design incorporating a first and second sealing member, where the second sealing member includes an acidic material and glass powder, ceramic filler, and polymer resin, with a larger width and height compared to the first sealing member, to facilitate a positive aging process that supplies hydrogen ions and water to the interlayer, reducing peeling and manufacturing costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a sealing member is used to surround the display element layer, then reliability is improved by preventing peeling, but device complexity increases due to the need for multiple sealing members with different materials

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepeeling preventionVSAvoidsealing member structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing member is divided into a first sealing member and a second sealing member with different materials. The first sealing member surrounds the display element layer while the second sealing member surrounds the first sealing member, creating a segmented structure that provides different functions at different levels to prevent peeling without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sealing members are made from different materials optimized for their specific functions. The first sealing member uses materials suitable for direct contact with the display element layer, while the second sealing member uses different materials that provide enhanced protection and bonding to the substrate, creating a composite sealing system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Manufacturing precision

If additional plasma treatment is applied to supply hydrogen ions and water, then display quality is improved, but manufacturing time and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidmanufacturing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing members are designed to automatically supply hydrogen ions and water to the interlayer through their material composition and aging process, eliminating the need for additional plasma treatment steps. The sealing members serve dual functions of both sealing and providing the necessary chemical components for display quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The sealing members are pre-designed with materials that will release hydrogen ions and water during the aging process, preparing the interlayer in advance without requiring subsequent plasma treatment. This preliminary incorporation of necessary elements streamlines the manufacturing process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If the second sealing member is made larger than the first sealing member, then reliability is improved by ensuring complete coverage, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage completenessVSAvoidsealing member dimensions
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The sealing members are designed with different dimensions in the planar direction, with the second sealing member having a larger width than the first sealing member. This dimensional differentiation ensures complete coverage and proper nesting while providing clear manufacturing guidelines for each component

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
