Samsung patents display assembly using notched adhesive strips
Samsung describes a method for attaching a screen to a device frame using multiple small adhesive strips instead of one continuous piece. The ends of these strips are cut with notches to create specific gaps where additional adhesive material is applied to secure the display.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing forming an exterior of the electronic device, the housing including a support structure, a display disposed at the housing, the display including a first surface facing the support structure, a plurality of adhesive members disposed on the first surface of the display along an edge of the display, the plurality of adhesive members being spaced apart from each other, and an adhesive material, wherein each of one or more separation areas is defined between a first end portion of one of the plurality of adhesive members and a second end portion of another of the plurality of adhesive members adjacent thereto, wherein each of the one or more separation areas includes an application area in which the adhesive material is disposed, wherein at least one of the first end portion or the second end portion includes a cut portion having a notch shape, thereby forming the application area, and extension areas connected to a first side of the application area and a second side of the application area opposite to the first side, respectively, wherein the extension areas are defined by a portion of the first end portion and a portion of the second end portion.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic device comprising: a housing forming an exterior of the electronic device, the housing including a support structure; a display disposed at the housing, the display including an first surface facing the support structure; a plurality of adhesive members disposed on the first surface of the display along an edge of the display, the plurality of adhesive members being spaced apart from each other; and an adhesive material, wherein each of one or more separation areas is defined between a first end portion of one of the plurality of adhesive members and a second end portion of another of the plurality of adhesive members adjacent thereto, the second end portion facing the first end portion, wherein each of the one or more separation areas includes: an application area in which the adhesive material is disposed, wherein at least one of the first end portion or the second end portion includes a cut portion having a notch shape, thereby forming the application area; and extension areas connected to a first side of the application area and a second side of the application area opposite to the first side, respectively, wherein the extension areas are defined by a portion of the first end portion and a portion of the second end portion.
