Receiving Container for Camera Module and Display Panel Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In display apparatuses, such as laptop computers, the integration of camera modules with display panels is hindered by small connection spaces and complex connecting cable structures, leading to manufacturing challenges and limited flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A receiving container with a main and sub receiving space is designed to accommodate both the display panel and camera module, where the camera module is mounted on a printed circuit board and fixed using an adhesion member, with flexible films connecting components, and a mold frame supports the display panel and camera module, allowing for efficient integration and exposure of the lens part.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the camera module is manufactured separately from the display panel and installed separately, then the manufacturing flexibility is improved, but the connection space becomes insufficient and the connecting cable structure becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display panel and camera module into a single integrated assembly where the camera module is directly mounted on the display panel structure. This eliminates the need for separate installation and complex connecting cables, while maintaining manufacturing flexibility through modular design options.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the receiving container into a main receiving space for the display panel and a sub receiving space for the camera module. This segmentation allows independent manufacturing and assembly of each component while simplifying the overall connection structure through dedicated mounting spaces.
2Ease of manufacture
If the camera module is installed separately from the display panel, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the connection space is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the receiving container in a second direction to create a sub receiving space adjacent to the main receiving space. This dimensional extension provides additional connection space without increasing the footprint in the primary direction, allowing separate installation while maintaining adequate connection areas.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a receiving container with separate main and sub receiving spaces is used, then the integration of camera module and display panel is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The receiving container is designed as a multi-functional component that simultaneously houses the display panel in the main receiving space and the camera module in the sub receiving space. This universal structure provides both integration capability and structural efficiency, reducing overall device complexity despite the added receiving spaces.
