Bendable Display Frame Assembly for Viewing Distortion Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Curved TVs can cause screen distortion for users not located at the center, leading to reduced immersion and increased eye fatigue, and they occupy significant space.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a controller that bends a display panel based on user location, content type, and user input, using a frame assembly to adjust the curvature of edges to optimize viewing experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a curved display panel is used to improve immersion and reduce eye fatigue, then user comfort is improved, but screen distortion occurs for users not located at the center
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel curvature is made dynamically adjustable rather than fixed. The frame assembly can change the bending degree of the display panel according to user location and viewing conditions, allowing the system to optimize between immersion and distortion reduction in real-time
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the display panel can have different curvature characteristics. The frame assembly applies localized bending forces to create optimal curvature for different viewing zones, ensuring that each area of the screen provides the best image quality for its intended viewing angle
2Adaptability or versatility
If a curved display panel is used to enhance immersion, then user engagement is improved, but the display apparatus occupies more space
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel can dynamically adjust its curvature state, transitioning between more curved and less curved configurations. This allows the system to provide immersion when needed while reducing space occupation during other usage scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The bending degree of the display panel is changed as a controllable parameter. By adjusting the curvature radius and bending angle based on content type and user preferences, the system achieves immersion enhancement without permanently increasing space requirements
3Manufacturing precision
If the display panel is bent to optimize viewing experience, then image quality is improved, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The frame assembly is divided into multiple independent bending units that can operate separately. Each unit controls a specific region of the display panel, allowing for precise local curvature control while keeping individual components relatively simple and manageable

AI summary
A display apparatus is disclosed that includes a display panel and a controller. The display panel includes a first edge extending in a first direction, a second edge extending in a second direction that intersects the first direction, and a display area where an image is displayed. The controller is configured to obtain information to bend the display panel and, in response, to bend the display panel to a bent display panel. In the bent display panel, the first edge has a first display-panel curvature and the second edge has a second display-panel curvature.
