Display Assembly Frame Reinforcement for Slim Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional LCD display assembly methods using the front mounting method compromise the mechanical strength of the sidewall due to incision parts, leading to increased defects and reduced impact resistance.
Innovation Solution
The display assembly incorporates a supporting frame, front receiving frame, and rear receiving frame with reinforcement members that connect opposite edges of incision portions, enhancing the structural integrity and allowing for a more compact design without the need for additional brackets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If the front mounting method is used to reduce the width of the display device, then the frame width is reduced, but the mechanical strength of the sidewall is decreased due to incision parts
Solution Approach 1:
The sidewall is segmented into multiple sections with strategically placed reinforcement members that divide the large opening into smaller sections, maintaining structural integrity while allowing the front mounting method to reduce overall frame width
Solution Approach 2:
The sidewall structure combines the base material with additional reinforcement members (metal strips or protrusions) to create a composite structure that maintains both the reduced frame width and the necessary mechanical strength
2Ease of operation
If incision parts are formed in the sidewall to enable front mounting, then the connecting structure can be accessed, but the mechanical strength against external impact is decreased
Solution Approach 1:
The incision parts are segmented and reinforced with reinforcement members that divide the weakened areas into smaller sections, allowing assembly access while maintaining overall structural strength
Solution Approach 2:
Reinforcement members are added beforehand to the sidewall structure to compensate for the weakening effect of the incision parts, providing pre-emptive strength enhancement before the assembly process begins
3Length of stationary object
If the bracket is removed to reduce the width of the frame, then the display device becomes slimmer, but the structural integrity is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The traditional bracket is extracted and replaced with integrated reinforcement members that are directly formed as part of the receiving frame structure, eliminating the need for separate components while maintaining structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The reinforcement members are merged with the receiving frame structure, combining the functions of structural support and frame definition into a single integrated component that maintains both slimness and integrity

AI summary
In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a display assembly received in a cover by the front mounting method, a combining recess is formed on a corner formed at which a side part and an upper portion of a supporting part meet together, and a first hole is formed on a bottom of the combining recess. A first opening exposing the first hole is formed in a top surface part of a front receiving frame. A bottom part of a rear receiving frame supporting a rear face of a display module has a second hole corresponding to the first hole. An incision portion opening the sidewall part of the rear receiving frame exposes the second hole, the first reinforcement member is bent around an edge of the sidewall part, and connects the opposite edges. As such, the width of a frame of the cover is reduced, and the rear receiving frame improves the strength against external force.
