Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If FPC is used for electrical connection, then electrical connection is achieved, but processing cost increases and damage risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the FPC from the connection system and replaces it with a rigid connector body that integrates the electrical connection function directly into the connector, eliminating the need for separate FPC processing and reducing overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the electrical connection function with the connector body by integrating conductive bars directly into the rigid connector structure, combining multiple functions (mechanical support, electrical conduction, and connection stability) into a single component
2Reliability
If FPC is used for electrical connection, then electrical connection is achieved, but processing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the FPC from the manufacturing process and replaces it with a rigid connector body that can be manufactured using standard rigid connector fabrication techniques, eliminating the need for complex FPC routing and soldering operations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a rigid connector body with conductive bars that can be manufactured more economically than FPC assemblies, using simpler materials and processes that reduce overall manufacturing cost while maintaining connection reliability
3Reliability
If FPC is used for electrical connection, then electrical connection is achieved, but damage risk increases due to soft material
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional approach by using a rigid connector body instead of a flexible FPC, replacing the soft material that is prone to damage with a rigid structure that resists deformation and damage from improper handling
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the vulnerable FPC component from the system and replaces it with a robust rigid connector body, eliminating the source of damage risk associated with soft, flexible materials

AI summary
A connector for display screens is disclosed, comprising a connector body. The connector body is designed with a connecting slot for connecting and fitting. The connecting slot is designed with a conductive bar for electrical connection. The connector body is further designed with an assembly chamber corresponding to the conductive bar. The conductive bar is set in the assembly chamber. The connector body, through the connecting slot, is mounted and fixed to the display screen and the connector, or, through a crimping block, the connector body is fixed to the display screen more stably. Then, the connector body, through the conductive bar, is electrically connected to a golden finger of the display screen.
