Abstract
An information handling system display having a first part that includes a display screen and rendering electronics fastened onto a second part to seal the rendering electronics within the display. The first part is bonded onto the second part via an adhesive that forms a bond between the two parts. A shearing mechanism is also disposed within the display with at least one externally exposed end. A pulling force is applied to the at least one externally exposed end in order to cut through the bond when there is a need to separate the two parts from each other.
Claims20
A method of enabling post-assembly separation of a first panel and a second panel of a direct bonding panel assembly, the method comprising:
- disposing an elongated shearing mechanism at a perimeter edge of a first surface of the first panel, wherein the shearing mechanism extends along a path that is proximate to a selected periphery location of the first surface at which the first surface is sealed together with a second surface of the second panel to create the panel assembly and wherein the shearing mechanism includes at least one end that extends away from a bonding edge of the panel assembly;
- disposing an adhesive on at least one of (1) the periphery location of the first surface and (2) an opposing periphery location of the second surface;
- affixing the first surface to the second surface via the adhesive to create the panel assembly having an adhesive bond between the first surface and the second surface, with the at least one end of the shearing mechanism extending from the bonding edge;
- wherein the adhesive bond can be broken by applying sufficient pulling force on the at least one end of the shearing mechanism in at least one of an upward direction relative to the first panel of the panel assembly and a lateral direction towards an outside edge of the panel assembly.
An information handling system having a display device comprising:
- a first panel having a first surface;
- a second panel having a second surface that is affixed to the first surface via an adhesive to create a panel assembly having an adhesive bond between the first surface and the second surface at a bonding edge along the periphery of each respective surface, wherein the adhesive is disposed on at least one of (1) the periphery location of the first surface and (2) an opposing periphery location of the second surface;
- an elongated shearing mechanism having a first end and a second end and disposed proximate to a perimeter edge of a first surface of the first panel, wherein the shearing mechanism extends along a path that is proximate to a selected periphery location of the first surface at which the first surface is sealed together with the second surface of the second panel to create the display device, and wherein the shearing mechanism includes at least one end that extends away from the bonding edge of the display device;
- wherein the adhesive bond can be broken by applying sufficient pulling force on the at least one end of the shearing mechanism in at least one of an upward direction relative to the first panel of the panel assembly and a lateral direction towards an outside edge of the panel assembly.
