Curved Display Panel Frame Sets to Reduce Viewing Distortion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Curved display devices, such as curved TVs, occupy large spaces and cause screen distortion for users not positioned at the center, affecting user immersion and comfort.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a frame set that includes a frame and a wire, allowing the display panel to be bent in various ways, including the use of intermediate frames and supporters, to adjust curvature and reduce distortion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a curved display panel is used to provide constant distance from user's eyes to center and sides of the screen, then user immersion increases and eye fatigue reduces, but screen distortion occurs for users not positioned at the center of curvature
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel's curvature is made dynamically adjustable through a frame set with movable components. The frame includes a body extending in a longitudinal direction and a head protruding toward the rear side, with a wire extending in the longitudinal direction. An intermediate frame can move relative to the head, allowing the curvature to be adjusted to different degrees to accommodate various viewing positions and reduce distortion for users not at the center of curvature.
2Ease of operation
If a curved TV occupies large space to provide immersive viewing, then user immersion increases, but device size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel can dynamically change its curvature from a more pronounced curve to a flatter configuration when not in immersive viewing mode. This allows the device to occupy less space during storage or non-immersion use, while still providing immersion when needed by increasing the curvature.
Solution Approach 2:
The curvature parameter of the display panel is made variable rather than fixed. By adjusting the curvature degree through the movable frame set, the device can adapt its physical dimensions and viewing characteristics to match different usage scenarios, reducing the need for a permanently large device volume.
3Ease of manufacture
If a fixed curved display panel is used, then manufacturing is simpler, but adaptability to different viewing positions is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The frame set incorporates movable components including a wire that can be adjusted in length and an intermediate frame that can move relative to the head. This dynamic structure allows the display panel to be manufactured with a base curvature and then adjusted to different curvature configurations to adapt to various viewing positions, combining manufacturing simplicity with viewing flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame set is divided into separable components: a body, a head, a wire, and an intermediate frame. This segmentation allows each component to be independently manufactured and assembled, maintaining manufacturing simplicity while enabling the curvature to be adjusted by reconfiguring the segmented parts.

AI summary
A display device includes: a display panel which displays an image; and a frame set disposed on a rear side of the display panel, where the frame set bends the display panel. The frame set includes a frame including a body extending in a longitudinal direction and a head protruding toward the rear side of the display panel from the body, and a wire fixed to the head and extending in a longitudinal direction of the frame.
