Display Panel Cable Groove Layout for Slim Rear Cover Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses with self-luminous display panels face challenges in arranging cables without interference, disassembling, and replacing components like the display panel or cables, and have difficulty in reducing the size of the cover.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus design that includes a support plate with a groove for cable arrangement, separating the cable from printed circuit boards, and providing a space for the cable to minimize interference with coupling members, allowing for easy replacement of components and a slim profile.

If a self-luminous display panel is used to reduce thickness, then the display apparatus becomes thinner, but it becomes difficult to arrange cables without interference and to replace components
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus is divided into separable modules: a display panel assembly and a rear cover assembly. The rear cover can be detached to provide access to cables and components, enabling easy replacement and maintenance while maintaining a thin profile when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
Cables are routed through the thickness dimension by passing through the rear cover, rather than being arranged in the planar dimension. This allows cable arrangement without increasing the lateral footprint or interfering with other components.

If cables are arranged in a tight space to maintain slim profile, then the display apparatus achieves ultra-slim appearance, but cables are susceptible to damage
Solution Approach 1:
The cable routing path is segmented into separate zones: a protected section passing through the rear cover and an exposed section in the groove. This segmentation allows the cable to be protected where it is most vulnerable while maintaining the slim profile.
Solution Approach 2:
The rear cover and groove structure provide preemptive protection to the cable before it can be damaged. The cable is positioned in a groove that shields it from external forces and potential damage sources.
3Shape
If the rear cover area is minimized to achieve ultra-slim appearance, then the display apparatus achieves ultra-slim appearance, but there is insufficient space for cable arrangement and coupling members
Solution Approach 1:
The solution utilizes the thickness dimension by having cables pass through the rear cover and be received in a groove. This vertical arrangement allows adequate cable accommodation without increasing the lateral area of the rear cover.
Solution Approach 2:
The cable is nested within the groove structure of the rear cover. The groove provides a dedicated space that is integrated into the rear cover itself, maximizing space utilization without requiring additional external space.
