Curved Display Module Groove Integration for Slim Profile
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices face challenges in achieving a slim form factor while maintaining the functionality of a separate display module and stand, particularly in curved display configurations where the integration of signal transmission and reception components complicates the design.
Innovation Solution
A display device design that incorporates a curved display module with a signal receiver and a stand featuring a signal transmitter, where the display module is accommodated in a curved groove of the stand, allowing for individual management and a slim profile, with the signal receiver positioned on the lower surface of the module and the signal transmitter on the upper surface of the stand.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of repair
If the display module and stand are integrated as separate components, then individual management and repair become easier, but the overall device thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display module is nested within a groove structure of the stand, with the lower surface of the display module fitting into the groove. This nesting arrangement allows the display module to be accommodated within the stand's structure rather than adding external thickness, while still maintaining separate components that can be individually managed and repaired.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a vertical stacking arrangement to a horizontal integration by positioning the display module within a groove that extends along the stand. This dimensional reorganization allows the signal transmission components to be arranged horizontally rather than vertically, reducing the overall device thickness while maintaining component separability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If signal transmission components are integrated into the stand and display module, then wireless communication is enabled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The stand and display module are designed with multi-functionality: the stand not only supports the display module mechanically but also houses signal transmission components (signal transmitter in the groove, signal receiver on the display module lower surface). This universal design enables both mechanical support and wireless communication functions within the same structural elements, reducing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The mechanical support function and signal transmission function are merged into the same structural components. The groove in the stand serves dual purposes: providing mechanical accommodation for the display module and housing the signal transmitter. Similarly, the lower surface of the display module serves as both a structural element and the location for the signal receiver.
3Illumination intensity
If the display module is curved to provide three-dimensional effect, then image immersiveness is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display module employs a curved surface design that follows a consistent radius of curvature, allowing the entire curved surface to be generated from a single circular arc. This geometric approach simplifies manufacturing by providing a clear, repeatable template for creating the curved shape, reducing precision requirements compared to arbitrary curved designs.
Solution Approach 2:
The curved display module likely utilizes composite material construction that can accommodate and maintain curved geometries. By using materials or material combinations that are inherently suitable for curved forms, the manufacturing process becomes more forgiving of minor variations, reducing the stringency of precision requirements while maintaining the desired three-dimensional visual effect.

AI summary
A display device includes a curved display module which includes a signal receiver receiving an image signal from an outside source, an image display part displaying an image corresponding to the image signal and being curved, and a frame surrounding at least a portion of an edge of the image display part and a stand which includes a signal transmitter transmitting the image signal and a coupling part in which a curved groove is defined where a portion of the curved display module is accommodated in the groove.
