Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If luminance of OLED display panel is increased, then brightness performance is improved, but rainbow stain phenomenon is intensified

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveluminanceVSAvoidrainbow stain phenomenon
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a scattering pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with specific haze (15-50%) and storage elastic modulus (70,000-100,000 Pa) to convert the harmful rainbow stain effect into a beneficial light scattering effect. The scattering particles in the adhesive layer diffuse reflected light to reduce rainbow stains while maintaining display brightness, effectively transforming the adverse optical interference into a useful light diffusion mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes specific parameters of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer including haze (15-50%), storage elastic modulus (70,000-100,000 Pa), and thickness (15-25 μm) to control light scattering characteristics. By adjusting these parameters, the adhesive layer achieves optimal balance between reducing rainbow stains and maintaining display luminance performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-generated harmful factors

If scattering adhesive layer is added to reduce rainbow stains, then visual appreciation is improved, but device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverainbow stain phenomenonVSAvoidpolarizing plate structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with scattering particles directly into the polarizing plate structure, merging the adhesive function and light scattering function into a single integrated layer. This eliminates the need for separate scattering layers while achieving rainbow stain reduction, thereby reducing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides adhesive bonding between layers, introduces scattering particles for light diffusion to reduce rainbow stains, and maintains mechanical stability. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional dedicated components, simplifying the overall device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
