Abstract

The failure of display modules in cellular phones due to drop impact depends on the materials, stiffnesses and shapes of the phones. In the early development stage of cellular phones, the behavior of the display modules due to drop impact is tested using jigs where the display modules are installed. In this study, jigs of cellular phones for drop impact test of OLED modules were designed. The material, thickness and number and orientation of ribs were considered as design variables. Jigs were designed in a way that responses of modules due to drop impact were similar to those of modules in cellular phones. The maximum principal stresses at the upper glasses of modules were considered as responses, which were analyzed using a commercial software ABAQUS/Explicit. The drop impact analysis at the height of 1.5 meters showed that the responses of OLED module in the developed jig were in a good agreement with those in cellular phone.

이동전화기의 낙하 충격 시 디스플레이 모듈의 파손은 이동전화기의 재료, 강성 및 형상에 의하여 많은 영향을 받는다. 이동전화기 개발의 초기 단계에서는, 디스플레이 모듈의 내구성을 판단하기 위하여 모듈을 지그에 장착하여 낙하시험을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 OLED 모듈의 충격 시험을 수행하기 위한 지그를 개발하였다. 지그의 재료, 두께 및 리브의 개수와 방향 등을 설계변수로 고려하여 실제 이동전화기가 낙하할 때 OLED 모듈이 받는 충격 응력과 가장 유사한 응력이 발생하도록 지그를 개발하였다. ABAQUS/Explicit를 사용한 1.5m 높이 충격 해석에서, 개발된 지그에 장착된 OLED 모듈의 유리에서 발생하는 최대주응력은 이동전화기에 장착된 동일 모듈의 유리에서 발생하는 최대주응력과 유사함을 확인할 수 있었다.
