Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display apparatuses with integrated camera modules suffer from reduced screen size and inefficient use of space due to the need for a separate area for the camera module, leading to degraded area and volume efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus structure that allows the camera module to be mounted stably and simply on the display module without a separate area, using a metal plate with a guide part and rib to position and secure the camera module.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a separate area is provided to arrange the camera module, then the camera module can be mounted, but the screen size is reduced and area efficiency is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera module mounting stabilityVSAvoidscreen size
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The camera module is integrated into the display module by positioning the lens barrel through the display module's substrate, merging the camera mounting function with the display structure. This eliminates the need for a separate camera module area, maintaining full screen size while enabling stable camera mounting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If a separate area is provided to arrange the camera module, then the camera module can be mounted, but the overall area of the display apparatus is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera module mounting stabilityVSAvoidoverall area of display apparatus
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The camera module is integrated into the display module by positioning the lens barrel through the display module's substrate, merging the camera mounting function with the display structure. This eliminates the need for a separate camera module area, maintaining full screen size while enabling stable camera mounting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Area of stationary object

If the camera module is disposed on the display module without a separate area, then area efficiency is improved, but the mounting structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearea efficiencyVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting structure is segmented into functional components: guide parts formed by bending the metal plate to position the camera module body, and ribs formed at the edges of through holes to secure the lens barrel. This segmentation simplifies the overall structure while achieving stable mounting without separate area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The metal plate is pre-formed with guide parts and ribs before assembly. The guide parts are created by bending the metal plate to define precise positions, and ribs are formed at edge locations to provide securing features. This preliminary preparation simplifies the final assembly process while maintaining area efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Area of stationary object

If the camera module is disposed on the display module without a separate area, then area efficiency is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvearea efficiencyVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The metal plate is pre-formed with guide parts and ribs before assembly. The guide parts are created by bending the metal plate to define precise positions, and ribs are formed at edge locations to provide securing features. This preliminary preparation simplifies the final assembly process while maintaining area efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
