Mountable Display Camera Arm for Bezel-Less Screen Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The integration of a front-facing camera into bezel-less display assemblies is challenging due to space constraints, making it difficult to manufacture and position the camera while maintaining the display's active area and ergonomic design.
Innovation Solution
A camera assembly with a camera head unit coupled to an adjustable arm that includes a serial bus connector, allowing for flexible positioning and attachment to a display assembly with a serial bus socket, enabling the camera to be positioned along various edges of the display frame and accommodating different orientations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a camera is integrated into a bezel-less display assembly, then the display's active area and ergonomic design are maintained, but space constraints make it difficult to manufacture and position the camera
Solution Approach 1:
The camera assembly is separated from the display assembly and connected via an arm with serial bus connector. This segmentation allows the camera to be positioned independently on the display frame without occupying space within the display's active area, resolving the contradiction between maintaining display area and enabling camera integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera is positioned in a different spatial dimension by extending it outward from the display frame using an adjustable arm, rather than attempting to integrate it within the planar display surface. This dimensional transition provides manufacturing space while maintaining the bezel-less display's active area.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the camera is positioned along various edges of the display frame, then adaptability to different orientations is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The camera assembly incorporates an adjustable arm that can be dynamically repositioned to different locations along the display frame edges. This dynamic positioning capability provides adaptability to various orientations without requiring multiple fixed camera mounting structures, thus managing device complexity while achieving versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The camera assembly with adjustable arm serves multiple functions: it can be positioned at different edges, accommodates various orientations (portrait/landscape), and maintains a standardized connection interface. This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple specialized components, balancing adaptability with controlled complexity.

AI summary
A system can include a display assembly that includes a display, a display side, a back side and a frame, where the back side includes a serial bus socket; and a camera assembly that includes a camera head unit coupled to an end of an arm, where an opposing end of the arm includes a serial bus connector receivable by the serial bus socket of the back side of the display assembly.
