Bendable Display Panel Sliding Frame Curvature Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When a display panel is switched between flat and curved surface states, differences in curvature lead to variations in length between the front and rear surfaces, causing potential performance degradation or damage due to suboptimal component disposition.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a bendable display panel, featuring a first and second frame with a sliding connection mechanism, a driving apparatus, and a base member to generate driving force, allowing the panel to deform smoothly between states while maintaining balance and adjusting for curvature differences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the display panel is fixed in a curved surface state, then three-dimensional viewing effect is improved, but the front and rear surfaces have different curvatures causing length difference between surfaces leading to component disposition problems and potential damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the second bracket slidable relative to the first bracket along the curvature direction. This allows the frame structure to dynamically adjust and accommodate the length difference between front and rear surfaces when the display panel transitions between flat and curved states, preventing component damage while maintaining structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The frame is segmented into a first bracket and a second bracket that can move independently relative to each other. This segmentation allows each bracket to handle different curvature requirements at the front and rear surfaces, resolving the length difference issue without compromising the overall frame structure
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display panel is switched between flat and curved states, then versatility is improved, but length difference between front and rear surfaces causes suboptimal component disposition and performance degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The slidable connection between brackets enables the frame to dynamically adapt to length differences during state transitions, maintaining optimal component disposition in both flat and curved states without performance degradation
