Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies face challenges in seamlessly splicing multiple display panels to maintain image integrity, often requiring cropping or scaling that can distort the display effect due to inadequate alignment and identification of bezel portions.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a display panel bezel system with identifiable bezel portions that use identity identifiers and information transmission devices to determine splicing regions, allowing for precise segmentation of images across multiple panels without significant cropping or scaling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple display panels are spliced together without identity identification, then the device structure is simple, but image alignment precision deteriorates causing distortion

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage alignment precisionVSAvoidbezel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bezel is divided into multiple independent bezel portions, each with its own identity identifier. This segmentation allows each panel to be individually identified and positioned, enabling precise image alignment across multiple spliced panels while keeping each bezel portion structurally simple and easy to manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Identity identifiers are introduced as intermediary elements between the bezel portions and the control system. These identifiers act as mediators that enable the control system to recognize and differentiate between adjacent panels, facilitating precise image segmentation and alignment without requiring complex mechanical alignment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If identity identifiers and identification devices are added to bezel portions, then image segmentation precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesplicing region alignment precisionVSAvoidbezel component quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The identity identifier and identification device are merged into the bezel portion structure itself, rather than being separate additional components. This integration allows the bezel to perform both its structural function and its identification function simultaneously, achieving precise splicing region alignment without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The bezel portion is designed to serve multiple functions: providing structural support for the display panel and simultaneously serving as a carrier for the identity identifier. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate identification components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while maintaining high alignment precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If bezel portions are made detachable for easy assembly, then ease of operation is improved, but connection reliability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly convenienceVSAvoidbezel connection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The bezel portions are pre-equipped with connection interfaces and identity identifiers during manufacturing. This preliminary preparation allows for quick and accurate assembly by simply connecting the pre-configured interfaces, while the pre-installed identity identifiers ensure that the connection maintains proper alignment and identification, thus preserving connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
