Innovation Solution
A display device comprising a display panel, a rear cover, a back case, and a stand with a circle-shaped disk, allowing for the free adjustment of the display panel's curvature and facilitating up-down movement and forward-rearward and left-right movement or rotation of the display device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed curvature display panel is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the flexibility and adaptability of the display device is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel curvature is made dynamically adjustable through a curvature control mechanism that includes driving components. The panel can transition between different curvature states (flat, slightly curved, highly curved) based on user needs, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adapts to various display scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure is divided into multiple segments including a support plate, curvature control mechanism, and driving components. This segmentation allows independent control of different functional elements, enabling curvature adjustment while maintaining overall structural integrity and managing complexity through modular design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display panel can freely change curvature, then flexibility and usability are enhanced, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The curvature control mechanism serves multiple functions: it adjusts panel curvature, provides structural support, and enables various display configurations (wall-mounted, desktop, portable). This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components for each function, thereby managing complexity while enhancing adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The display panel utilizes flexible OLED technology with thin-film structures that inherently support curvature changes. The flexible substrate and organic light-emitting layers are designed to withstand repeated bending without degradation, enabling curvature adjustment without requiring complex mechanical reinforcement structures.
3Ease of operation
If a rigid stand structure is used, then structural stability is maintained, but movement and rotation flexibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The stand structure incorporates adjustable and movable components that allow the display device to transition between stable and flexible states. The stand can be adjusted to different angles and positions, providing stability when needed while enabling easy movement and repositioning during setup or reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The support plate acts as an intermediary between the display panel and the stand structure. It provides a stable mounting surface for the panel while allowing controlled movement and adjustment relative to the stand, mediating between the need for stability and the need for operational flexibility.
