Display Panel Frame Assembly for Slim, Low-Part Casings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing display apparatuses have complex combining structures that result in a large number of parts, increasing manufacturing costs and making it difficult to achieve a light and slim appearance.
Innovation Solution
A simplified display apparatus structure is achieved by reducing the number of parts through a combination of a front casing with a display opening, a frame supporting the panel body, and a panel supporting member, along with a rear casing that forms an accommodating space, using auxiliary combining members and a stand to support the casings and panel module, eliminating the need for extra brackets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If multiple brackets are used to support the display panel module, then the structural stability is improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple supporting brackets into a single integrated frame structure that surrounds the display panel module. This frame structure combines the functions of multiple individual brackets into one unified component, reducing the total number of parts while maintaining the structural stability needed to support the display panel module securely
Solution Approach 2:
The frame structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it supports the display panel module, provides structural rigidity, enables mounting to the front casing, and facilitates assembly. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate dedicated supporting brackets, simplifying the overall combining structure
2Stability of the object's composition
If multiple brackets are used to support the display panel module, then the structural stability is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging multiple brackets into a single frame structure, the patent reduces the number of parts that need to be manufactured, stored, and assembled. This consolidation decreases manufacturing complexity and associated costs while maintaining the necessary structural stability through the integrated frame design
3Stability of the object's composition
If multiple brackets are used to support the display panel module, then the structural stability is improved, but the appearance becomes less light and slim
Solution Approach 1:
The integration of multiple brackets into a single frame structure reduces the visual clutter and physical bulk associated with multiple separate components. The frame structure achieves the necessary structural stability while presenting a cleaner, more streamlined appearance that contributes to a light and slim overall design
