Display Housing Concealing Screw Couplings with Side Frame
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices expose coupling members like screws or nuts on the outer surface, detracting from their aesthetic appeal when used as design elements or interior decorations.
Innovation Solution
A housing design that includes a case top with a bezel part, an upper side wall, a link wall part, and a lower sidewall part, along with a cover bottom and a side frame, which collectively form a structure that prevents coupling members from being exposed by covering them internally, maintaining a clean outer appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If coupling members (screws, nuts) are used to couple the case top to the cover bottom, then the structural strength and reliability are improved, but the aesthetic appearance deteriorates because the coupling members are exposed on the outer surface
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling members are nested within the housing structure by positioning them at the inner portion of the lower sidewall part, where they are concealed by the side frame and other housing components. This allows the coupling structure to be hidden inside the housing while still performing its structural function, resolving the contradiction between structural reliability and aesthetic appearance.
2Manufacturing precision
If the coupling structure is made visible for structural clarity, then the manufacturing precision and assembly reliability are improved, but the design quality and aesthetic sensibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling structure is extracted from the visible outer surface and relocated to the inner portion of the housing. The side frame and other components are positioned to cover the coupling members, effectively removing them from the aesthetic field while preserving their assembly function. This extraction resolves the contradiction between assembly reliability and design quality.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a display apparatus and a housing thereof. According to one aspect of the present invention, the housing includes a case top including a bezel part to cover edges of a front surface of a display panel, an upper side wall bent in a rear direction from an outer portion of the bezel part to cover an upper portion of a lateral side of a display apparatus, a link wall part bent inward from the upper side wall part, and a lower sidewall part extending in the rear direction from the link wall part, a cover bottom including a bottom part to cover a rear surface of the display apparatus and an inner sidewall part extending in a forward direction from an outer portion of the bottom part, and screw-coupled to an inner portion of the lower sidewall part to be provided in a shape of an open box, and a side frame provided at an outer portion of the lower sidewall part to cover a lower lateral side of the display apparatus to prevent the screw-coupling from being viewed through an outer portion of the display apparatus.
