Problem

The physical properties of polymer compounds used in display device windows are impaired by moisture in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, leading to potential degradation and reduced durability.

Innovation Solution

A resin composition comprising a polymer resin, fluoride resin, and radical polymerization initiator, including specific monomers and additives, is used to form a coating layer that minimizes property impairment by moisture and hydrogen ion generation, enhancing durability and protection against external impacts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a polymer compound is used to form a window in a direct coating method, then the window can protect the display module from external impacts, but the physical properties of the polymer compound are impaired by moisture in high-temperature and high-humidity environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotective strengthVSAvoidphysical property stability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite resin composition comprising multiple components: polymer resin (epoxy siloxane-based compound, (meth)acrylate monomer, and tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylic acid monomer), fluoride resin (10-20 wt%), and radical polymerization initiator. This composite formulation combines the protective strength of polymer compounds with the moisture resistance of fluoride resin, resolving the contradiction between strength and reliability in humid environments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Strength

If a polymer compound is used for the window coating, then it can provide impact protection, but hydrogen ions are generated during the polymerization process which impairs the physical properties of the coating layer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpact resistanceVSAvoidhydrogen ion generation
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the polymerization mechanism from cationic to radical polymerization by selecting appropriate initiators (acetophenone-based, sulfonium salt-based, or benzophenone-based initiators at 1-5 wt%). This parameter change eliminates hydrogen ion generation during polymerization while maintaining the impact resistance properties of the coating layer
