Solution Overview

Problem

Existing touch glass systems are prone to damage from direct user interaction, leading to failure of display and touch functions, and provide limited interaction options.

Innovation Solution

A touch laminated glass design with a display film and touch film sandwiched between two glass panels, protected by adhesive layers, allowing capacitive touch operations and integrated projection capabilities, enhancing user interaction and protection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If display film and touch film are directly disposed on the outside of the glass, then the glass can provide touch display function, but the display film and touch film are prone to scratch and damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch display functionVSAvoidintegrity of display film and touch film
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The display film and touch film are nested between two glass panels (first glass and second glass), forming a laminated structure. This nesting approach protects the films from direct exposure to external environment and user interaction, preventing scratches and damage while maintaining the touch display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite structure by combining glass panels with display film and touch film in a laminated configuration. This composite material approach integrates the protective properties of glass with the functional properties of the films, achieving both protection and functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of operation

If touch buttons are integrated on the glass, then the glass provides touch operation function, but the user experience is poor due to limited interaction options

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch operation functionVSAvoidinteraction options
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The touch film enables the entire glass surface to function as a touch interface, replacing limited touch buttons with a full-area interactive surface. This multi-functional approach allows various touch operations (tap, swipe, pinch) across the whole display area, significantly enhancing user experience and interaction options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If display film and touch film are protected between glass panels, then the integrity of films is protected, but the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegrity of display film and touch filmVSAvoidlaminated glass structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges multiple components (first glass, display film, touch film, second glass) into a single integrated laminated glass unit. This combining approach, while adding layers, creates a unified structure that is manufactured and installed as one component, managing complexity through integration rather than separate assemblies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
