Bezel and Cover Hooking Structure for Slim Display Panel Fixation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional display panel fixing structures are bulky and heavy, hindering the development of lightweight and compact consumer products due to their reliance on thick metal or plastic bezels, which compromise the light-weight and small-size requirements.
Innovation Solution
A fixing structure comprising a bezel and a cover with bent portions and hook components that securely fasten the display panel, utilizing inclined planes for easy assembly and containing spaces for signal transmission cables, allowing for a slim and robust fixation solution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional thick metal or plastic bezels are used for fixing the display panel, then assembly strength is ensured, but weight and size increase
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure is divided into separate components: a bezel frame and a cover with hook components. The cover is further segmented into a board portion and curved portions that bend to engage with the bezel. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, enabling thinner designs while maintaining strength through the distributed hook engagement points.
Solution Approach 2:
The hook components utilize three-dimensional spatial engagement, bending from the board portion in curved paths to interlock with corresponding hooking portions on the bezel. This dimensional transition from flat to curved creates multiple engagement points in different spatial planes, providing structural strength without increasing material thickness.
2Strength
If traditional thick metal or plastic bezels are used for fixing the display panel, then assembly strength is ensured, but device size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure is divided into separate components: a bezel frame and a cover with hook components. The cover is further segmented into a board portion and curved portions that bend to engage with the bezel. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, enabling thinner designs while maintaining strength through the distributed hook engagement points.
Solution Approach 2:
The hook components are nested within the overall structure, with the curved portions fitting into recesses or engagement zones of the bezel frame. This nesting arrangement allows the fixing mechanism to be integrated into the existing device footprint without adding external bulk, achieving compact dimensions while maintaining structural integrity.
3Strength
If traditional fixing structures are used, then assembly strength is provided, but assembly complexity and space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure is divided into separate components: a bezel frame and a cover with hook components. The cover is further segmented into a board portion and curved portions that bend to engage with the bezel. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, enabling thinner designs while maintaining strength through the distributed hook engagement points.
Solution Approach 2:
The hook components are designed to self-align and self-engage with the corresponding hooking portions on the bezel during assembly. The curved portions naturally guide themselves into the correct position through geometric compatibility, eliminating the need for complex alignment procedures or additional fastening operations, thereby simplifying the assembly process.

AI summary
A fixing structure for fixing a display panel is disclosed. The fixing structure includes a bezel and a cover. The bezel includes a frame, a first bending portion bent from a side of the frame, and a first hooking portion connected to an end of the first bending portion. The cover and the bezel cover the display panel together. The cover includes a board, a first curved portion bent from a side of the board, and a first hook component connected to an end of the first curved portion and installed inside the frame and the first bending portion. The first hook component engages with the first hooking portion and fixes a side of the display panel on the side of the first curved portion as the bezel combines with the cover.
