Display Device Base Slot Concealing Backlight Source
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The ultra-thin and curved screen design of modern TVs conflicts with the structural complexity and space requirements of lamp strips and heat dissipation mechanisms, which are typically configured along the edges, compromising the aesthetic appeal and design trend.
Innovation Solution
A display device design that incorporates a base with a slot to house the thicker backlight source, allowing the thinner display unit to maintain an ultra-thin structure while concealing the backlight source within the base, using a combination of fastening elements, bulging pieces, and a sloped slot to secure the heat dissipation element, ensuring effective heat management and aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If lamp strips and heat dissipation mechanisms are configured along the edges of the TV, then effective light emission and heat dissipation are achieved, but the structural complexity increases and the TV thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the backlight source and heat dissipation mechanism from the edge configuration and relocates them to the base. The edge portion of the display unit is separated from the base, allowing the thicker components to be housed in the base while maintaining an ultra-thin display unit. This resolves the contradiction by removing the conflicting elements from the edge area.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional edge configuration to a three-dimensional base integration. By utilizing the vertical space in the base (below the display unit), the design accommodates thicker components without increasing the overall thickness of the display unit. The slot in the base provides a dedicated space for the edge portion containing the backlight source.
2Reliability
If lamp strips and heat dissipation mechanisms are configured along the edges of the TV, then functional requirements are met, but the TV appearance becomes less appealing and deviates from ultra-thin design trends
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the bulky functional components (backlight source and heat dissipation mechanism) from the visible display unit and relocates them to the base. This separation allows the display unit to achieve an ultra-thin profile with clean edges, while the base houses the necessary thicker components, maintaining both aesthetics and functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where the edge portion of the display unit (containing the backlight source) is inserted into a slot in the base. The display unit is nested within the overall TV structure, with its thicker portion concealed in the base. This nested arrangement allows the display unit to appear ultra-thin while the base provides the necessary space for functional components.

Data Source
AI summary
The display device contains a base and a display unit. The display unit contains a backlight source configured to an edge portion of the display unit. The edge portion of the display unit is plugged into the base. The present invention integrates a base with the display unit so that a thicker backlight source is concealed in the base whereas the portion of the display unit that is exposed outside the base can have an ultra-thin structure, thereby achieving the superior appearance and still conforming to the ultra-thin design trend.
