Solution Approach 1:

The continuous adhesive layer is segmented into multiple independent adhesion parts with spacing between them. This segmentation allows each adhesion part to independently deform and absorb energy while maintaining strong bonding at each contact point, thus resolving the contradiction between bonding strength and energy absorption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesion parts are strategically distributed across the touch screen with appropriate spacing. This local distribution creates regions of strong adhesion (at the adhesion parts) and regions of energy absorption (in the spaced areas), optimizing both bonding strength and deformation energy absorption capability
