Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If a large-sized display device is used, then the display area is increased, but the rear housing vibration noise is enhanced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidrear housing vibration noise
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A buffer is introduced as an intermediary component between the display module and the rear housing. This buffer absorbs and attenuates the vibrations generated by the display module, preventing them from being transmitted to the rear housing. The buffer acts as a mediator that decouples the vibration source from the housing structure, thereby reducing the noise generated by rear housing vibration while preserving the large display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Area of stationary object

If the rear housing size is increased, then the display device size is increased, but the vibration noise is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverear housing areaVSAvoidvibration noise
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The buffer serves as a vibration-isolating intermediary positioned between the display module and the rear housing. It selectively transmits static loads while attenuating dynamic vibrations, allowing the rear housing to maintain its large size for structural support and aesthetics without becoming a noise-generating resonant structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Object-generated harmful factors

If the buffer is added between display module and rear housing, then the vibration noise is reduced, but the device complexity is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration noiseVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The buffer is implemented as a flexible vibration-absorbing layer that can be directly applied to the rear housing surface. This thin-film approach provides effective vibration isolation without adding significant structural complexity or thickness to the overall device assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The buffer utilizes composite material structures that combine different material properties to achieve optimal vibration absorption. By selecting materials with appropriate damping characteristics, the buffer effectively reduces vibration noise while maintaining a simple single-component implementation that does not significantly increase device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
