碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 機械工程系 === 95 === The current practice of creating the geometric model of TFT-LCD module is based on the scheme of bottom-up design, which creates parts’ model individually and assembles them together into a product model. Such an assembly model possesses no mutual relationship among adjacent parts, thus involving tedious and time-consuming drafting efforts for the occurrence of design change. In order to reduce the time spent in the entire product development cycle, this thesis aims to use Pro/ENGINEER to develop a rapid-response structure design system for LCD module. Research issues addressed in this thesis include: (1) use the scheme of top-down design to create the geometric model for TFT-LCD module, so that part models are interlocked with each other to achieve the goal of rapid response of geometric model to design parameter change, (2) interference check for the geometric model after design change, (3) automatic generation of a check list for verifying the feasibility of the geometric model, (4) automatic calculation of the total weight of the entire TFT-LCD module, and (5) presentation of cross-sections in a dynamic manner for the ease of checking various 2D sections along the entire module. As for system implementation, Pro/Toolkit and MFC of Visual C++ are used in this research to develop the proposed system. A product engineer can benefit from the developed system by full concentration on expressing his/her expertise in TFT-LCD module design, without worrying about the detailed drawing of each single part and the entire assembly. In this thesis, a full illustration of the user interface for design parameter change, the corresponding geometry change, and design evaluation criteria, including the check list, weight calculation and 2D cross-sections, is presented to show the feature of rapid-response of the proposed parametric structure design system for TFT-LCD module.
