Solution Overview
Problem
Large-sized and high-quality flat panel display apparatuses require improved external appearances, which existing designs fail to adequately address through conventional means.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus incorporating a light source unit with multiple light sources, a light reflector, and a controller to enhance external appearance by directing and reflecting light towards a predetermined illumination target, with optional lenses for light collection or divergence, and function buttons integrated into the design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If conventional design methods are used for large-sized flat panel displays, then manufacturing is simpler, but external appearance is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The illumination system is divided into multiple independent light sources (first light source and second light source) positioned at different locations. Each light source can be controlled independently to illuminate different portions of the display panel, allowing flexible control over the external appearance while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces illumination from multiple spatial dimensions by positioning light sources at different locations and orientations. The first light source is positioned to illuminate a first portion while the second light source illuminates a second portion, creating multi-dimensional lighting effects that enhance external appearance without requiring a single complex illumination system.
2Illumination intensity
If multiple light sources are added to improve external appearance, then illumination effectiveness improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light source unit is segmented into multiple independent light sources with separate control mechanisms. Each light source can be individually activated or deactivated based on the desired illumination pattern, allowing the system to achieve effective illumination while maintaining control simplicity through independent modular units rather than a single complex illumination system.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively improves the external appearance of flat panel displays by strategically emitting and reflecting light, enhancing visibility and aesthetic appeal while allowing for controlled light emission based on operational modes.
Implementation Method 1
a light source unit including a plurality of light sources and a light source supporter to support the plurality of light sources to emit light toward a predetermined illumination target
Implementation Method 2
a light reflector provided on a side of the front cover to reflect light emitted toward the predetermined illumination target
Data Source
AI summary
A display apparatus includes a display part to display an image thereon, a front cover to surround a front surface of the display part, a light source unit having a plurality of light sources and a light source supporter to support the plurality of light sources to emit light toward a predetermined illumination target, and a light reflector provided on a side of the front cover to reflect light emitted toward the predetermined illumination target, and having the predetermined illumination target. Thus, the display apparatus uses a plurality of light sources to improve an external appearance.
