Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-display integration designs for notebook computers are not easily disassemblable and portable due to their thickness and weight, limiting user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus featuring a first display with a positioning recess and engagement recess, and a second display with a positioning protrusion and pendulum hook, allowing for secure mounting and easy detachment through gravitational action, enhancing assembly reliability and portability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a sub-display is provided with a pivoting mechanism or sliding mechanism to be connected to the main display, then multi-display functionality is achieved, but the thickness and weight of the displays increase, making them difficult to carry and disassemble
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into an upper display and a lower display that can be separated into independent parts. The lower display can be detached from the upper display, allowing the user to carry only the necessary portion, thereby reducing the weight of the moving object while maintaining multi-display functionality when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between the upper and lower displays is made dynamic through a detachable magnetic fastening mechanism. The displays can be easily attached and detached based on user needs, transforming the static multi-display configuration into a dynamic one that adapts to portability requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a sub-display is provided with a pivoting mechanism or sliding mechanism to be connected to the main display, then multi-display functionality is achieved, but the thickness and weight of the displays increase, making them difficult to disassemble and assemble
Solution Approach 1:
The display connection is segmented into modular components with standardized magnetic fastening interfaces. This allows the upper and lower displays to be easily attached and detached without complex mechanisms, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining multi-display functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
Traditional mechanical pivoting or sliding mechanisms are replaced with a magnetic fastening system. The magnetic attraction provides secure attachment while allowing easy separation, eliminating the complexity of mechanical linkages and improving ease of disassembly and assembly.
3Area of stationary object
If existing multi-display integration designs are used, then expanded screen size is provided, but the displays cannot be freely disassembled and assembled
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into an upper display and a lower display that can be independently configured. When attached, they provide an expanded screen area; when separated, they offer freedom of disassembly and assembly. The magnetic fastening mechanism enables this flexible configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The display configuration is made dynamic, allowing users to switch between a combined expanded screen mode and separated portable mode. This dynamic adaptability resolves the contradiction between providing expanded screen area and enabling free disassembly and assembly.
4Area of stationary object
If existing multi-display integration designs are used, then expanded screen size is provided, but the displays are difficult to carry around
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into separable upper and lower displays. Users can carry only the lower display or the upper display independently when portability is needed, reducing the weight of the moving object while still having the option to combine them for expanded screen area when working.
Solution Approach 2:
The display configuration is made dynamic, allowing users to adapt the system to different situations. When portability is needed, the displays are separated and only the necessary portion is carried, reducing weight. When work requires expanded screen area, the displays are combined.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The display apparatus enables convenient assembly and disassembly, improving user portability and reliability by using magnetic attraction and gravitational interference to secure the displays together or apart.
Implementation Method 1
When the pendulum hook is subjected to the action of gravity so that engagement protrusion is engaged with the engagement recess

AI summary
A display apparatus includes a first display and a second display. The first display includes a first display body having a first side, a positioning recess located at the first side, and an engagement recess located in the positioning recess. The second display is detachably mounted at one side of the first display body, includes a second display body, a positioning protrusion, and a pendulum hook, and has a second side. The positioning protrusion is connected to the second side and has a cavity configured to accommodate the pendulum hook pivotally connected to the positioning protrusion and including an engagement protrusion. The positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning recess. The second side contacts the first side. The engagement protrusion is configured to move out of the cavity and be engaged with the engagement recess or move away from the engagement recess and move back to the cavity.
