Solution Overview

Problem

Current display devices have a large border region due to the distance between the display component and the middle frame bezel, which hampers user experience and requires a larger display area.

Innovation Solution

The display device incorporates a supporting platform on the middle frame bezel that overlaps with the display module, reducing the distance between the display module and the bezel, thereby minimizing the border region area.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the display module is positioned away from the middle frame bezel to ensure structural support, then the structural stability is improved, but the border region area increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidborder region area
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting structure is divided into two distinct components: the middle frame bezel and the supporting platform. The supporting platform is separately disposed on the middle frame bezel to provide localized support for the display module, allowing the display module to be positioned closer to the bezel while maintaining structural stability through the distributed support system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting platform acts as an intermediary component between the middle frame bezel and the display module. It transfers and distributes the support function, enabling the display module to be positioned optimally close to the bezel while the platform absorbs the structural support requirements, thus reducing the border region area without compromising stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Area of stationary object

If the display module is positioned closer to the middle frame bezel to reduce border region area, then the border region area is reduced, but the structural support capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveborder region areaVSAvoidstructural support capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The supporting structure is segmented into the middle frame bezel and the supporting platform, with the platform providing localized support precisely where the display module is positioned close to the bezel. This segmentation allows the display module to be positioned closer to reduce border area while the platform compensates for the reduced support distance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The supporting platform provides localized structural support specifically at the position where the display module is disposed on the middle frame bezel. This local quality approach ensures that support capability is enhanced precisely where needed (at the display module location) without requiring the entire bezel structure to be reinforced, thus maintaining strength while minimizing border region area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A display device, comprising a display component and a middle frame bezel. The display component includes a cover plate, a display module, and an encapsulating layer. The cover plate has a light-emitting side of and a backlight side which are opposite, the display module and at least a part of the encapsulating layer is disposed at the backlight side of the cover plate. The encapsulating layer covers at least a part of a periphery of the display module. A supporting platform is disposed on at least a part of a periphery of the middle frame bezel and configured to support the display module. The supporting platform is located at a side of the display module away from the cover plate, and the supporting platform and the display module overlap in a first overlapping region when viewed along a thickness direction of the cover plate.
