Solution Overview

Problem

Ultra-thin large screen display devices face challenges in achieving structural rigidity, stability, and flatness, as well as improving the coupling structure and durability of the display device.

Innovation Solution

A display device comprising a display panel, a material complexed plate with a core including fibers, and a coupling member with an outer shell and inner solid, where the material complexed plate has a front skin, rear skin, and core, and the coupling member is inserted into a coupling hole formed through the material complexed plate.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If the display device is made ultra-thin, then the profile is reduced and viewing angle characteristics are improved, but structural rigidity and stability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethicknessVSAvoidstructural rigidity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a composite structure consisting of a front skin, rear skin, and core material. The core includes fibers embedded in a resin matrix, creating a composite material that provides both rigidity and stability while maintaining ultra-thin profile. This composite construction resolves the contradiction by delivering structural strength without increasing thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The display device structure is segmented into multiple functional layers: front skin, rear skin, and core. The core itself is segmented into fibers distributed within a resin matrix. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function while collectively providing the necessary structural rigidity without compromising the ultra-thin profile.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Length of moving object

If the display device is made ultra-thin, then the profile is reduced, but structural stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethicknessVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The composite structure with fibers embedded in resin provides structural stability while maintaining ultra-thin thickness. The fiber-resin composite combination ensures consistent dimensional stability and resistance to deformation, resolving the contradiction between thin profile and structural stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The core material is designed with specific local properties - fibers are strategically positioned within the resin matrix to provide stability where needed. The front and rear skins are positioned to maintain structural integrity at critical locations, ensuring overall stability without increasing overall thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If a simple coupling structure is used, then device complexity is reduced, but durability and stability of coupling deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoupling structure complexityVSAvoidcoupling durability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The coupling member is designed with a nested structure where an inner solid is inserted into an outer shell. Both components are inserted through the coupling hole in the material complexed plate, creating a nested arrangement that provides durable and stable coupling while maintaining reasonable structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The coupling member utilizes composite construction with outer shell and inner solid components that work together to provide durable coupling. This composite approach to the coupling structure ensures reliability while managing complexity through functional integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
