Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When multiple display devices are combined to form a multi-display device, the coupling surfaces can be damaged due to shock during the coupling process, necessitating a protective structure.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a buffer member with a base unit and a protrusion that slides within an inserting hole, providing shock absorption and protection to the coupling surfaces, made of flexible materials like silicon-based rubber.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If display devices are coupled together to form a multi-display device, then a large screen with various information and advertisements can be realized, but the coupling surfaces may be damaged due to shock generated in the coupling process
Solution Approach 1:
A buffer member is disposed on the coupling surface of each display device before coupling. The buffer member includes a base unit and a protrusion that can be compressed or deformed to absorb shock during the coupling process, preventing damage to the coupling surfaces while enabling the formation of multi-display devices with large screen area
2Reliability
If a buffer member with a protrusion is used to protect coupling surfaces, then shock absorption capability is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The buffer member is made of a flexible material that can deform under shock loads and return to its original shape. This flexible structure provides shock absorption capability while maintaining a relatively simple design compared to rigid mechanical cushioning systems
Solution Approach 2:
The buffer member is divided into a base unit and a protrusion portion. The base unit provides structural support and attachment to the display device, while the protrusion provides the shock-absorbing element that contacts the coupling surface. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized for its specific function
