Display Apparatus Combining Part Reduces Thickness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional liquid display apparatuses face challenges in reducing thickness and simplifying the assembly process due to the hook structure, which can cause gaps between the top and display panels, affecting portability and manufacturing efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The display apparatus incorporates a combining part that secures the top, bottom, and driving parts together using a screw or similar mechanism, allowing for a more compact design and simplified assembly by positioning the driving part adjacent to the display panel and using a mold frame to hold the panel, thereby reducing thickness and improving assembly efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a hook structure is used to connect the top chassis and bottom chassis, then the assembly process is simplified, but gaps may form between the top chassis and display panel when the bezel width is large
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting structure is divided into two functional parts: a hook structure for basic connection and a separate combining part (screw or rivet) for precise positioning. This segmentation allows the hook to provide structural support while the combining part ensures accurate alignment and eliminates gaps between the top chassis and display panel.
2Strength
If the driving part is attached to the bottom chassis using screws or tape, then the connection is secure, but the overall thickness of the display apparatus increases
Solution Approach 1:
The driving part is merged with the bottom chassis by integrating it into the combining part assembly. The combining part simultaneously connects the top chassis, bottom chassis, and driving part, eliminating the need for separate attachment mechanisms and reducing overall thickness while maintaining secure connection.
3Stability of the object's composition
If multiple separate components are used to connect the top chassis, bottom chassis, and driving part, then the assembly is secure, but the manufacturing process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The combining part is designed as a multi-functional component that simultaneously performs multiple connection functions: it connects the top chassis to the bottom chassis, secures the driving part, and ensures proper alignment. This universal component replaces multiple separate fasteners and simplifies the manufacturing process while maintaining assembly security.
