Curved Bezel-less Display Front Plate Structural Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display units for large-sized televisions have design limitations, particularly in the peripheral portion of the front surface, which can detract from the quality of image display and immersion due to the presence of frames or bezels.
Innovation Solution
A display unit with a curved front plate and bezel-less design, where the frame members are strategically positioned to support the liquid crystal panel and light source, allowing the entire front surface to be exposed and maintaining a bow-shaped curvature for enhanced visual immersion and sound integration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If frame members are provided on the front surface to support the display body, then structural support and assembly stability are improved, but the peripheral portion of the front surface is covered, reducing design quality and visual immersion
Solution Approach 1:
The frame members are extracted from the front surface location and repositioned to the rear surface of the display unit. This allows the front surface to be fully exposed for high-quality design and visual immersion, while the rear-positioned frame members continue to provide structural support and assembly stability for the display body.
2Stability of the object's composition
If frame members are provided on the front surface to support the display body, then assembly stability is improved, but the peripheral portion of the front surface is covered, reducing sense of presence
Solution Approach 1:
The frame members are extracted from the front surface and relocated to the rear surface, eliminating their visual obstruction of the peripheral portion. This maintains assembly stability through proper structural positioning while preserving the immersive visual experience by keeping the front surface entirely exposed.
3Shape
If the front plate is made curved to enhance visual immersion, then image display quality is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The frame members are pre-formed with a curved shape that matches the desired curvature of the front plate. This preliminary shaping of the supporting structure enables the front plate to be curved for enhanced visual immersion, while the pre-prepared frame members simplify the overall manufacturing process by providing a ready-made template for curvature.

AI summary
A display unit (1) includes a transparent plate (11) and a display body. The transparent plate has a first surface and a second surface that are opposite to each other, and is disposed to allow substantially an entire region of the first surface to be exposed. The transparent plate has a curved shape that is bent in an arc shape in a first direction. The display body is joined to side of the second surface of the transparent plate to follow the curved shape.
