Solution Overview

Problem

In touch display devices, ultraviolet curing glue is insufficiently cured due to the presence of printing ink on the glass cover plate, which affects the curing process.

Innovation Solution

A touch display panel design that includes a first ink layer with a higher ultraviolet transmittance second sub-ink layer, positioned between the touch display module and cover plate, to enhance ultraviolet light transmission and ensure complete curing of the sealant, using a combination of ultraviolet and infrared ink layers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If ultraviolet curing glue is used for frame bonding, then curing speed is improved, but curing completeness deteriorates due to ink blocking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecuring speedVSAvoidcuring completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The ink layer is divided into multiple sub-ink layers (first sub-ink layer, second sub-ink layer, third sub-ink layer) with different ultraviolet transmittance characteristics. The second sub-ink layer specifically has higher ultraviolet transmittance to allow curing light to reach the sealant, while other layers maintain shielding functions for metal traces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the ink layer are assigned different ultraviolet transmittance properties. The second sub-ink layer corresponding to the sealant region has higher ultraviolet transmittance, while other regions maintain lower transmittance for shielding purposes. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction between shielding requirements and curing requirements.

If printing ink is applied to glass cover plate, then aesthetic appearance is improved, but ultraviolet light transmission deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The ink layer is segmented into multiple sub-layers with different functions: some layers prioritize shielding (lower transmittance) while the second sub-ink layer prioritizes ultraviolet transmission (higher transmittance). This segmentation allows simultaneous achievement of aesthetic appearance and sufficient ultraviolet light transmission for curing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The ink layer exhibits spatially varying optical properties. Regions corresponding to metal trace areas have lower transmittance for shielding, while the region corresponding to the sealant has higher transmittance for curing. This local quality differentiation resolves the contradiction between aesthetic shielding and curing light transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
