Transparent Board Attachment Structure for Thin Display Corners
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices face challenges in reducing the thickness of transparent boards and attaching members while maintaining strength, particularly in thin designs where corner strength is compromised.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating an attaching member with an outer-side raised portion adjacent to the transparent board's outline, which extends beyond the frame regions, ensures strength while reducing thickness by distributing stress effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If the thickness of transparent board and attaching member is reduced, then the display device thickness is reduced, but the strength of transparent board and attaching member deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The attaching member is designed with a raised portion that extends in the thickness direction (third dimension) relative to the transparent board surface. This vertical extension creates a three-dimensional structure that provides structural reinforcement and strength without increasing the horizontal footprint or overall display device thickness.
Solution Approach 2:
The raised portion of the attaching member is strategically positioned at specific locations (such as corners or edges) where structural strength is most needed. This localized reinforcement provides enhanced strength at critical points while keeping the overall design thin and maintaining aesthetic appearance.
2Weight of stationary object
If the thickness of transparent board and attaching member is reduced, then the weight of display device is reduced, but the corner strength deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The attaching member incorporates a raised portion that extends vertically from the transparent board surface, creating a three-dimensional structural element. This vertical dimension provides corner reinforcement and structural integrity without adding horizontal bulk or weight, as the reinforcement is achieved through height rather than increased material quantity.
Solution Approach 2:
The attaching member is divided into distinct functional regions: a flat portion for bonding to the transparent board and a raised portion for providing structural reinforcement. This segmentation allows each region to optimize its function - the flat portion ensures secure attachment while the raised portion provides localized strength enhancement at corners and edges.

AI summary
There is provided a display device in which the thickness of a transparent board and an attaching member is reduced while the strength thereof is ensured. The display device includes a display panel, a transparent board having a panel installation region in which the display panel is provided, and an outer frame region surrounding the panel installation region, and an attaching member having a fixing portion bonded to the transparent board in the outer frame region, and an outer-side raised portion raised from a side of the fixing portion, the side being adjacent to an outline of the transparent board.
