Solution Overview

Problem

The issue of film layer peeling in flexible multi-layer on cell (FMLOC) display panels leads to contamination, signal disruption, and product scrapping, particularly due to poor contact between inorganic and organic insulation layers in the peripheral regions, causing film layer upwarping, wrinkling, and water/oxygen invasion.

Innovation Solution

The solution involves removing the inorganic insulation layer in specific regions of the peripheral area, allowing direct contact between the organic insulation layer and the touch conductive layer or protection layer, thereby preventing film layer peeling and ensuring better structural integrity and reducing the risk of water/oxygen invasion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the inorganic insulation layer is present in the peripheral region, then the touch function layer provides insulation and protection, but the organic insulation layer and inorganic insulation layer fail to make good contact, causing film layer upwarping, wrinkling, and peeling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm layer contact qualityVSAvoidfilm layer flatness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The inorganic insulation layer is removed from the peripheral region where it causes contact problems between layers. This extraction eliminates the source of upwarping and wrinkling in the peripheral area while preserving the inorganic insulation layer in the display region where it provides necessary protection and insulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The inorganic insulation layer is segmented into two parts: it is retained in the display region and removed from the peripheral region. This segmentation allows different structural configurations in different areas of the panel, optimizing both contact quality and flatness where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If the inorganic insulation layer is removed in the peripheral region, then direct contact between organic insulation layer and touch conductive layer prevents upwarping and wrinkling, but the touch function layer loses insulation protection in that region

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm layer flatnessVSAvoidinsulation protection
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The structure of the touch function layer is made non-uniform: in the display region, the complete structure with inorganic insulation layer is maintained for protection, while in the peripheral region, the inorganic insulation layer is removed to ensure good contact and flatness. Each region has the quality needed for its specific function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If film layer peeling occurs in the peripheral region, then the display panel can be manufactured, but contamination and signal disruption occur, leading to product scrapping

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing throughputVSAvoidproduct yield
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The inorganic insulation layer is removed in advance from the peripheral region during the manufacturing process, before the panel is assembled and before peeling can occur. This preliminary action prevents contamination and signal disruption that would otherwise lead to scrapping, thereby improving product yield.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
