Display Support Frame with Antenna Escape Portion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Metal frames used to protect LCDs in portable electronic devices interfere with radio wave reception and transmission, reducing antenna performance, and dividing the frame to accommodate the antenna compromises its reinforcing capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A support frame with a seating portion, connection portion, and fastening portion, featuring an escape portion and reinforcing rib, allows the antenna to be exposed while maintaining structural integrity by preventing the frame from being divided, thus enhancing both antenna reception and LCD protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the frame is made of metal material with high strength to protect the LCD, then the LCD protection function is improved, but the radio wave reception rate of the antenna is deteriorated due to interference from the metal frame
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into two parts with a gap between them to create a non-metallic region. This segmentation allows the antenna to be mounted in the spaced region where metal interference is minimized, thereby improving radio wave reception while maintaining structural support through the divided frame segments
Solution Approach 2:
The frame structure is modified locally by creating a spaced region or gap specifically at the antenna mounting area. This local modification reduces metal interference in the critical antenna region while preserving the overall frame strength and LCD protection function in non-critical areas
2Reliability
If the frame is divided into two parts spaced apart from each other to accommodate the antenna, then the antenna reception is improved, but the frame cannot provide its fundamental function of reinforcing the LCD
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame and antenna holder are merged into a single integrated component. The antenna is mounted directly on the support frame structure itself, eliminating the need for separate frame divisions while maintaining both LCD support and antenna reception functions through the integrated design
Solution Approach 2:
The support frame serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support and reinforcement for the LCD, acts as an antenna holder in its spaced region, and maintains overall device integrity. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by making the frame both a structural element and an antenna mounting structure

AI summary
The present invention relates to a support frame for a display and a support structure for a display having the support frame. A support frame for a display of the present invention comprises a seating portion 42 seated on a bottom surface of a case 36; a connection portion 45 extending perpendicularly from the seating portion 42 and having an insertion hole 47 into which an antenna 60 is inserted; and a fastening portion 48 extending perpendicularly from the connection portion 45 and supported by one side of the case 36. According to the present invention so configured, it is possible to increase the strength of the support frame and thus protect a liquid crystal display panel more effectively by means of the reinforcing rib 50 and the escape portion 49 provided in the support frame, and also to improve a radio wave reception rate of the antenna 60.
