Waterproof Display Envelope Adhesive Sealing Narrow Frame
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing waterproof display apparatus designs require a large space for waterproof glue application, limiting the ability to achieve a narrow frame design due to the need for additional waterproof films and glue coverage, which compromises the size of the display apparatus.
Innovation Solution
A waterproof display apparatus that encloses a display panel within an envelope with a light-permeable portion and an adhesive structure, eliminating the need for additional waterproof films and reserved space for glue, while maintaining moisture protection through the envelope's enclosure and adhesive sealing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If waterproof glue is adhered to both the side surface and lower waterproof film of the display panel, then waterproof ability is improved, but the frame size increases due to the large space required for glue coating
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the waterproof film and the support function into a single integrated structure. The lower waterproof film is extended to serve dual purposes: providing waterproof protection and supporting the waterproof glue, thereby eliminating the need for separate support structures and reducing the space required for glue coating.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the spatial arrangement by extending the lower waterproof film in a specific dimension to provide support for the waterproof glue. This dimensional extension allows the glue to be supported without requiring additional lateral space, thus maintaining a compact frame size while ensuring waterproofability.
2Reliability
If additional waterproof films are added to protect the display panel, then waterproof ability is improved, but the device complexity and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The lower waterproof film is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it provides waterproof protection for the display panel and serves as a support substrate for the waterproof glue. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed, thereby simplifying the overall structure while maintaining effective waterproofing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the waterproofing function and the structural support function into a single lower waterproof film component. This merging of functions eliminates the need for additional separate waterproof films or support structures, reducing device complexity while ensuring comprehensive waterproof protection.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This design achieves both waterproof functionality and a narrow frame format by ensuring the display panel is completely enclosed, preventing moisture ingress and allowing for a more compact form factor without the need for additional waterproof films or extensive glue coverage.
Implementation Method 1
The adhesive structure is adhered between the inner enclosing surface of the envelope and the display panel
Implementation Method 2
The envelope includes a light permeable portion that allows light from the display panel to travel out of the envelope
Data Source
AI summary
A waterproof display apparatus includes an envelope, a display panel and an adhesive structure. The envelope includes an inner enclosing surface. The inner enclosing surface defines an accommodating space. The display panel is at least partially accommodated in the accommodating space of the envelope. The envelope includes a light permeable portion that allows light from the display panel to travel out of the envelope. The adhesive structure is located in the accommodating space. The adhesive structure is adhered between the inner enclosing surface of the envelope and the display panel.
