Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices face challenges in providing a stable and aesthetically pleasing configuration that accommodates both concave and convex panel shapes while maintaining structural integrity and minimizing bezel area, especially when used in public spaces like airports.
Innovation Solution
The display device incorporates a frame with a center frame assembly and stand assemblies that include ball casters and fixers for adjustable positioning, along with a unique panel assembly configuration where front and rear panels overlap to form a seamless display surface, and a stand cover system to shield the components and enhance appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a frame structure is used to support display panels, then structural integrity is improved, but bezel area increases
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into a center frame assembly and multiple stand frame assemblies, allowing each segment to be optimized independently. The stand frame assemblies are positioned only at corner regions, minimizing the bezel area while maintaining overall structural integrity through distributed support points.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure transitions from a traditional perimeter frame to a distributed point-support system using stand frames at corners. This dimensional repositioning reduces the two-dimensional bezel area while maintaining three-dimensional structural stability through vertical stand frames.
2Area of stationary object
If stand frames are positioned at corner regions, then bezel area is reduced, but structural stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The stand frame assemblies incorporate local reinforcement features including cross bars connecting adjacent stand frames, and positioning holes for precise alignment. These localized structural enhancements at critical corner positions provide sufficient stability without requiring a complete perimeter frame.
Solution Approach 2:
Adjacent stand frame assemblies are connected through cross bars to form an integrated corner support structure. This merging of multiple support elements creates a unified stable structure that compensates for the reduced bezel area coverage.
3Ease of operation
If ball casters are added to enable movement, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The base assembly serves multiple functions: it provides structural support for the display panel, incorporates ball casters for mobility, and includes positioning holes for alignment. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity.
