Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face challenges in tiling large display areas due to complex wiring, which leads to difficulties in installation, maintenance, and increased risk of short-circuits during the connection process.

Innovation Solution

A display device design featuring a connecting module with a protruding or inwardly positioned connecting plate, supported by panel magnets and ferromagnetic substances, allows for wireless power supply and easy alignment without complex lines, enabling convenient tiling and minimizing short-circuit occurrences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If complicated lines are used to supply power during tiling, then power supply is achieved, but installation complexity increases and short-circuit risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshort-circuit riskVSAvoidinstallation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the power supply function from complex wired connections and relocates it to the front surface through a power supply module. The connecting plate protrudes from the front surface to receive power, separating the power supply function from the rear surface wiring, thereby reducing both installation complexity and short-circuit risk.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent inverts the conventional approach by moving the power supply connection from the rear surface to the front surface. Instead of wiring power from behind, the connecting plate protrudes from the front to receive power, fundamentally changing the power supply architecture to simplify installation and improve reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Ease of operation

If connecting plate is always protruding, then power connection is easy, but alignment precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower connection easeVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the connecting plate dynamic rather than static. It can protrude from the front surface for easy power connection or retract inward for precise alignment during tiling. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the system to optimize for either ease of operation or manufacturing precision depending on the operational phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
