Display Module Fastening Assembly for Tiled Installation in Tight Spaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display module installation methods require significant workspace to arrange multiple display modules in a tiled configuration, making it difficult to install multi-display devices in crowded or public environments where space is limited.
Innovation Solution
A display module fastening assembly that includes a back cover with sidewalls and a fastener receptacle, allowing each display panel to be detachably coupled at various positions, enabling easy arrangement and alignment of multiple display modules in a tiled configuration without the need for extensive workspace.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If display modules are arranged in a tiled configuration using conventional installation methods, then multiple displays can be positioned adjacent to one another to form a larger display, but a large workspace is required in the rear space for installation and adjustment
Solution Approach 1:
The back cover is divided into multiple receptacles positioned at different locations, allowing display modules to be independently secured at various positions. This segmentation enables precise positioning without requiring extensive rear workspace for manual alignment and adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The receptacles are pre-positioned and integrated into the back cover structure before installation. This preliminary arrangement of fastening positions eliminates the need for complex on-site adjustments and reduces the workspace required during installation, as the alignment features are already in place.
2Ease of manufacture
If conventional fastening methods are used for display modules, then installation is possible, but the process requires significant workspace and time for alignment and securing
Solution Approach 1:
The receptacles are designed to automatically guide and secure the display modules through integrated positioning features. The modules self-align with the receptacles during insertion, eliminating the need for manual measurement and adjustment, thereby reducing installation time and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The back cover incorporates multiple identical receptacles that can accommodate different display module configurations. This universal design allows the same fastening structure to serve various installation scenarios, simplifying the installation process and reducing the time required for different arrangement patterns.
3Adaptability or versatility
If display modules are installed in crowded environments with limited space, then the multi-display device can be placed in public facilities, but the installation and adjustment of multiple adjacent displays becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The receptacles are positioned at multiple depths and locations on the back cover, creating a three-dimensional fastening system. This dimensional approach allows display modules to be secured at various positions without requiring extensive lateral workspace, enabling installation in crowded environments where space is constrained.
Solution Approach 2:
The receptacles serve as intermediary elements between the back cover and display modules, providing built-in alignment and fastening functions. This intermediary structure eliminates the need for complex on-site alignment procedures, making module arrangement easier even in space-constrained public facility installations.

AI summary
Display module fastening assemblies are provided which facilitate installment of multi-display devices in small or limited spaces and without needing access to a rear side of the devices. A display module fastening assembly includes a back cover. A fastener receptacle includes a groove formed in a sidewall of the back cover. A fastener is detachably securable to the fastener receptacle. A support protrusions may extend outwardly from a contact portion of the fastener, and the support protrusion is configured to fit into the groove of the fastener receptacle when the contact portion is inserted into the back cover.
