Adjustable Display Panel Using Retaining Portions for Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Portable electronic devices with non-adjustable display panels are susceptible to poor visibility due to improper light angles and suffer from slow data input when using touch interfaces.
Innovation Solution
A portable electronic apparatus with an adjustable display panel, supported by a retained portion and a plurality of retaining portions, allowing the display to be adjusted to various angles for optimal visibility and user convenience, featuring a first sleeve, hollow member, push bar, and user-operable activating member for easy angle adjustment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the display panel is fixed parallel to the housing, then the structure is simple and stable, but the visibility is poor when light sources are improper
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel is transformed from a fixed position to an adjustable angle mechanism. The push bar with retaining portions allows the display panel to be rotated to different angles, enabling users to adjust the viewing angle according to light source positions, thereby improving visibility while maintaining structural simplicity through a straightforward mechanical adjustment system
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display panel angle is fixed, then the manufacturing is simple, but the adaptability to different lighting conditions and user behaviors is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The fixed angle display panel is replaced with an adjustable angle mechanism using the push bar and retaining portions. This allows the display panel to adapt to different lighting conditions and user preferences by enabling angle adjustment, while the manufacturing remains relatively simple through the use of basic mechanical components that can be easily assembled
3Ease of operation
If touch input is used, then the device is convenient to operate, but the data input speed is slow
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel serves multiple functions: it acts as both a touch input interface for convenience and a visual display that can be adjusted to optimal viewing angles. The angle adjustment capability enhances the usability of the touch interface by allowing users to position the display at comfortable viewing angles, thereby improving both convenience and input efficiency

AI summary
The invention discloses a portable electronic apparatus with an adjustable display panel. The portable electronic apparatus uses a retained portion cooperated with a plurality of retaining portions (like a recess) to support the display panel. Thereby, the display panel of the portable electronic apparatus can be adjusted to a plurality of angles so as to adapt to real conditions, such as angles of light source, operational behaviors of users and the like, which further enhances the utility of the portable electronic apparatus. Furthermore, because the supporting force offered by the retained portion cooperated with the retaining portions is greater than a pressing force generated as a user operates the display panel, the display panel can remain steady when the user operates the display panel.
