Multi-Panel Display Assembly for Flatness and ESD Isolation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing in-vehicle display devices face challenges in maintaining high dimensional precision, particularly in achieving flatness of display panels, due to large holder sizes and material limitations. Additionally, these devices are prone to electrostatic discharge issues and complex assembly processes.
Innovation Solution
The display device incorporates rear supports connected via a resin connector, with a translucent cover plate fastened to the front of the rear supports. This configuration allows for high precision in maintaining flatness and minimizes electrostatic discharge transmission between display panels. The method of production involves insert molding to form the resin connector and frame, enabling easy assembly and adjustment of display panel angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a large holder is used to retain multiple display panels, then the holder can accommodate more panels, but the dimensional precision and flatness of the display panels deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The holder is divided into multiple holding portions, each capable of independently retaining a display panel. This segmentation allows each holding portion to maintain high dimensional precision and flatness for its respective panel, while the overall holder can accommodate multiple panels. The resin material is divided into separate regions that can be precisely formed for each panel position.
Solution Approach 2:
Different portions of the holder are designed with locally optimized properties. Each holding portion has specific structural features tailored to support its corresponding display panel, ensuring that the local dimensional precision and flatness requirements are met for each panel while the entire holder structure can accommodate multiple panels.
2Ease of manufacture
If a resin material is used for the holder, then the holder can be formed with complex shapes and good integration, but the electrostatic discharge protection deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
An electrostatic discharge prevention member is introduced as an intermediary component between the resin holder and the display panels. This member acts as a mediator that provides electrostatic protection while allowing the holder to maintain its integrated resin structure. The prevention member can be a conductive or dissipative layer that safely channels static electricity away from the panels.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple display panels are secured with adhesive or screws in separate holding portions, then each panel can be individually retained, but the assembly process becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple holding portions are merged into a single integrated holder structure made of resin. This combination allows multiple display panels to be retained in a unified structure, reducing the complexity of assembling multiple separate holders. The holder can be manufactured as one piece with multiple integrated holding regions, simplifying the overall assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The holding portions are pre-formed with built-in fastening features during the holder manufacturing process. Adhesive layers or screw mounting structures are prepared in advance as integral parts of the holder, eliminating the need for separate fastening operations for each panel. This preliminary preparation of fastening mechanisms reduces assembly complexity.
