Solution Overview

Problem

Existing screen protective films face challenges with low film-sticking yield, difficulty for non-professionals to operate, and issues such as misalignment, bubbles, and dust accumulation during application.

Innovation Solution

A segmented film design with a layered structure comprising a surface protective film and a divided bottom film, equipped with alignment handles and a dust-sticking adhesive layer, allowing for segmental application and improved alignment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single-layer release film covers the entire screen, then the film structure is simple, but the film-sticking yield is low and alignment is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm structureVSAvoidfilm-sticking yield
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The bottom film is divided into multiple independent segments (first bottom film segment, second bottom film segment, etc.) that can be applied separately to different regions of the screen. This segmentation allows each segment to be aligned and adhered independently, improving overall film-sticking yield while maintaining structural simplicity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the release film is torn at one time, then the operation is simple, but misalignment and bubbles occur frequently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm application easeVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The film is segmented into multiple applicability regions with corresponding segments that can be applied independently. This allows users to apply each segment separately with proper alignment, then combine them, reducing misalignment and bubble issues while keeping the operation simple through clear regional division

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Alignment marks are provided in advance on the film segments to guide proper positioning before application. This preliminary alignment guidance ensures precise framing is achieved easily by users without requiring professional skills

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If a single-layer structure is used, then the film structure is simple, but dust and bubbles are prone to occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm structureVSAvoiddust and bubbles
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The bottom film is divided into multiple segments that can be applied separately, reducing the surface area exposed to dust during application. Each segment can be handled and positioned carefully to minimize bubble formation, while the segmented structure itself helps prevent dust accumulation between layers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A dust-sticking adhesive layer is introduced as an intermediary between the release layer and the actual use layer. This intermediate layer specifically targets and adheres to dust particles, preventing them from causing defects in the final film application while maintaining the overall simple layered structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
