Solution Overview

Problem

The assembly of tiled display devices is hindered by segment differences between adjacent sub-display panel modules, leading to inefficiencies in assembly and potential display seams, which affect the flatness and display quality of the tiled display.

Innovation Solution

A bracket structure with a transfer motion adjustor is introduced, featuring a body with a support surface, an assembly surface, and side surfaces. The transfer motion adjustor includes rotation members and guide members that allow for adjustable protrusion on the assembly surface, enabling precise alignment and flatness adjustment of the sub-display panel modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If multiple sub-display panel modules are assembled together to form a tiled display device, then the display size and expandability are improved, but segment differences between adjacent modules cause assembly difficulties and display seams

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket structure is divided into multiple adjustable support points (first support point, second support point, third support point, fourth support point) that can independently adjust the position of adjacent sub-display panel modules. This segmentation allows each module to be precisely positioned to eliminate segment differences while maintaining the overall large display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If adjustable support structures are added to eliminate segment differences, then alignment precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealignment precisionVSAvoidbracket structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bracket structure employs a nested design where the first and second guide members are received within the first bracket body, and the third and fourth guide members are received within the second bracket body. The guide members are nested within the adjustors, creating a compact hierarchical structure that reduces overall complexity while maintaining adjustment functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The bracket structure uses universal adjustors that can perform multiple functions: positioning in the first direction (via first and second guide members) and positioning in the second direction (via third and fourth guide members). This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate adjustment mechanisms for each direction, reducing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of manufacture

If manual adjustment methods are used for bracket positioning, then ease of manufacture is improved, but assembly time and productivity are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment mechanism simplicityVSAvoidassembly efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The adjustors are designed with self-adjusting features where the guide members automatically align with the guide holes through the adjustment process. The first guide member adjusts along the first guide hole, and the second guide member adjusts along the second guide hole, allowing the structure to self-correct positioning errors without requiring complex external adjustment tools or procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
