Display Device Front Deco Shielding Lower Panel
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices, particularly those using OLEDs, face challenges in maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance when not in use, as they often expose the back surface, which can distract from the screen and may allow external elements like dust or light to interfere with the display.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a display unit with a back cover, a light shielding plate, and a front deco that is entirely positioned inside a housing, shielding the lower portion of the display unit, and utilizing a link bar and PCB bracket to secure components, ensuring the front deco does not protrude and obstruct the screen, while also using a transparent back cover to maintain a clean appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the back surface of the display panel is exposed to maintain a transparent inactive state, then aesthetic characteristic is improved, but external elements like dust or light can interfere with the display
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is divided into multiple sections: a main housing body, a front deco positioned at the lower front, and a light shielding plate at the rear. Each segment serves a specific function - the front deco provides aesthetic coverage while the light shielding plate blocks external light, together resolving the contradiction between aesthetic exposure and protection from harmful factors
Solution Approach 2:
The light shielding plate acts as an intermediary element positioned between the display panel and the external environment. It mediates by blocking harmful light from the rear while maintaining the overall transparent aesthetic appearance of the display device when inactive
2Ease of manufacture
If components are exposed on the back surface, then ease of assembly is improved, but appearance neatness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The front deco is nested within the housing structure, with the PCB bracket and other components positioned behind it. This nesting arrangement allows components to be assembled in a straightforward sequence while keeping them hidden from the front view, maintaining appearance neatness without compromising assembly ease
Solution Approach 2:
Components are arranged in multiple dimensions within the housing - the front deco occupies the lower front dimension, the light shielding plate occupies the rear dimension, and electronic components are positioned in the intermediate space. This three-dimensional arrangement allows easy assembly access while maintaining clean appearance from the front
3Loss of information
If the front deco is positioned inside the housing, then screen distraction is reduced, but component accessibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The housing structure is segmented to provide both front aesthetic coverage and rear access pathways. The front deco extends partway into the housing but leaves the rear section accessible, allowing technicians to reach components through the back while the front maintains an unobstructed view
Solution Approach 2:
The light shielding plate serves as an intermediary structure that can be selectively removed or opened to provide component accessibility. During normal use, it maintains the aesthetic appearance; during maintenance, it allows access to components without requiring removal of the front deco
