Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional curved display devices face challenges in maintaining a constant curved shape and require excessive materials, leading to increased manufacturing costs.

Innovation Solution

A method of manufacturing a curved display device involves forming a concavo-convex reinforcement structure on the bottom chassis using a roll-forming process, followed by a bending process to achieve the desired curved surface, thereby enhancing shape retention and reducing material usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If conventional methods are used to maintain curved shape, then curved shape can be achieved, but material usage increases and manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurved shapeVSAvoidmaterial usage
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The bottom chassis is divided into multiple reinforcement structures distributed across the surface. These segmented reinforcement elements work together to maintain the curved shape without requiring excessive material throughout the entire chassis, thereby resolving the contradiction between achieving curved shape and reducing material usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Reinforcement structures are strategically placed in specific locations where structural support is most needed to maintain the curved shape. This localized approach ensures the curved shape is maintained while minimizing overall material usage, as material is concentrated only where required rather than distributed uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Shape

If conventional methods are used to maintain curved shape, then curved shape can be achieved, but manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurved shapeVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The bottom chassis employs segmented reinforcement structures that can be manufactured and assembled more efficiently than conventional continuous reinforcement methods. This segmentation reduces manufacturing complexity and cost while maintaining the required curved shape.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

By concentrating reinforcement only in critical areas rather than throughout the entire chassis, the manufacturing process is simplified and material costs are reduced, making curved display devices more cost-effective to produce.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Stability of the object's composition

If reinforcement structure is formed by roll-forming process, then shape retention is enhanced, but process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshape retentionVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The reinforcement structures are pre-formed using the roll-forming process before being integrated into the bottom chassis. This preliminary formation ensures proper shape retention characteristics are built into the reinforcement elements themselves, simplifying the overall assembly process while maintaining shape stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
