Cantilever Display Panel Support via Lower Hinge Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices with supporting structures at the central or end parts of the display panel obstruct the user's view, limiting the arrangement flexibility and visibility of the display screen, as they are not designed to support the panel in a cantilever manner with adjustable tilt positions.
Innovation Solution
A display device configuration featuring a body unit, a display panel with hinge plates connected to its rear surface, and shafts extending along the lower end, allowing the supporting unit to be connected at the upper end to the body unit, enabling the display panel to be supported in a cantilever state with adjustable tilt positions through turnable hinge plates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the supporting unit is arranged at the central part or both ends of the display panel, then the display panel can be supported stably, but the supporting structure comes into view and obstructs the user's view of the display screen
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting unit is extracted from the central or end positions of the display panel and relocated to the lower end side. This extraction removes the obstructing element from the user's view while maintaining its support function through the hinge plate and shaft mechanism connected to the body unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting structure is moved from a horizontal arrangement (at the ends or center of the display panel width) to a vertical/lower-end arrangement. By changing the spatial dimension of the supporting unit's position to the lower end of the display panel, it achieves both stable support and visual clearance.
2Reliability
If the supporting unit is arranged at the central part or both ends of the display panel, then the display panel can be supported, but the arrangement flexibility of operation buttons on the body unit is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting unit is extracted from positions that constrain the body unit layout (central or end positions) and relocated to the lower end. This extraction frees up the central and end areas of the body unit for flexible arrangement of operation buttons and other components.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting function is segmented from the main body of the display device and implemented through a separate hinge plate and shaft mechanism at the lower end. This segmentation allows independent optimization of the supporting structure without constraining the overall layout flexibility of the body unit.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the supporting unit is arranged to support the display panel in a cantilever manner, then the view is unobstructed, but the rigidity of the supporting structure must be enhanced to reliably support the weight
Solution Approach 1:
The shaft is designed with a curved or angled configuration rather than a straight rigid connection. This curved shaft structure provides mechanical advantage and distributes the load more effectively, enhancing the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the cantilever supporting structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting structure utilizes a composite arrangement of the hinge plate, shaft, and supporting unit components. This composite structure combines multiple elements to achieve the necessary rigidity and strength to support the display panel weight in a cantilever configuration.

AI summary
A display device includes a body unit; a display panel of flat plate shape arranged with a display screen; at least one hinge plate connected to a rear surface of the display panel; shafts arranged extending along a lower end of the display panel, and turnably attached with the hinge plate with respect to a center axis; and a supporting unit, connected to the shaft at an upper end and connected to the body unit at a lower end, for supporting a display unit in a cantilever state.
