Solution Overview

Problem

Existing scroll-type display panels face issues with shearing stress and breakage due to layer staggering and limited stress absorption by optical adhesive layers, leading to interlayer fall-off and structural weakness during winding and stretching.

Innovation Solution

The scroll-type display panel incorporates a support layer with first and second wound portions featuring different area ratios of hollowed-out openings, enhancing bending and anti-stretching capabilities to mitigate stress and prevent breakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If optical adhesive layers are used to absorb stress during winding, then some stress absorption is achieved, but the shearing stress is insufficient and interlayer fall-off occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestress absorption capabilityVSAvoidshearing stress resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The support layer is designed with different hollowed-out opening area ratios in different regions: the first wound portion has a larger area ratio to enhance bending capability and stress absorption, while the second wound portion has a smaller area ratio to maintain structural strength and resist shearing stress. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction between stress absorption and shear resistance.

Principle #3Local quality

2Strength

If the support layer structure is made more robust to prevent breakage, then structural strength is improved, but bending capability and stress absorption are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidbending capability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The support layer employs differentiated hollowed-out opening designs: the first wound portion with larger area ratio provides enhanced bending capability and stress absorption for adaptability, while the second wound portion with smaller area ratio maintains structural strength. This local quality differentiation allows the same support layer to simultaneously achieve both bending adaptability and structural strength.
