Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional curved display devices have a fixed curvature that cannot be adjusted, failing to meet the diverse viewing needs of users in different positions or during various operations.

Innovation Solution

A display device featuring a bendable display panel and a curvature adjusting mechanism on its backside, comprising supporting back plates with tightening-loosening members and an adjusting portion, allowing the curvature to be adjusted by changing the distance between the protruding walls of the protruding structures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed curvature display device is used, then the structural stability is maintained, but the adaptability to different viewing positions and operations is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurvature adjustment capabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed curvature display device into an adjustable curvature device. The curvature adjusting mechanism allows the display panel to change its bending degree dynamically, enabling adaptation to different viewing positions and operations while maintaining structural stability through controlled mechanical adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The curvature adjusting mechanism is segmented into multiple functional components including supporting back plates, tightening-loosening members, and adjusting portions. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, facilitating curvature adjustment without requiring complete structural redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If a curvature adjusting mechanism is added, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurvature adjustment capabilityVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The tightening-loosening member is designed to enable users to adjust the curvature directly through simple tightening or loosening actions. This self-service design allows users to operate the mechanism intuitively without requiring complex procedures or additional tools, maintaining ease of operation while achieving curvature adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Shape

If the distance between protruding walls is changed, then the curvature is adjusted, but the structural stability may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecurvatureVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting back plates are pre-configured with protruding structures that provide stable support points. By adjusting the distance between these pre-established protruding walls, the system achieves curvature change while maintaining structural stability through the predetermined stable configuration of the support mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
