Multi-Module Display Housing Layout for Ultra-Thin Wall Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices with multiple screens have a complex internal structure, leading to a large occupied space when hung on a wall, adversely affecting their appearance due to the distance between the screens and the wall.
Innovation Solution
A display device design where the back housing and side frame create an accommodation space, with the first and second display modules' surfaces forming a shared outer surface away from the screens, reducing the overall thickness and space occupied when mounted, using a side frame with display modules facing the same direction and a back housing with specific positioning planes for a sleeker appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If multiple display modules are installed on the back housing to provide large-scale display, then the display area is increased, but the device thickness and occupied space increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into multiple independent display modules (first display module, second display module, etc.) that can be separately installed on the back housing. Each module has its own support structure and positioning mechanism, allowing them to be arranged in different spatial configurations to achieve large display area while controlling overall thickness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-plane display arrangement to a multi-dimensional spatial configuration. Display modules are arranged not only horizontally but also vertically and at different depths from the wall surface, utilizing three-dimensional space efficiently. The back housing extends outward to accommodate multiple modules at different positions, converting a two-dimensional display problem into a three-dimensional spatial solution
2Ease of manufacture
If the back housing has various structures and shapes to facilitate installation of internal components, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the distance between the display screen and the wall increases
Solution Approach 1:
The back housing is segmented into functional zones: a first back housing portion that extends away from the wall to accommodate display modules, and a second back housing portion that forms the outer surface. This segmentation allows internal components to be installed in the extended portion while maintaining a compact outer profile that minimizes distance from the wall
Solution Approach 2:
Display modules and internal components are nested within the back housing structure. The support structures, positioning planes, and accommodation spaces are integrated into the back housing itself, creating a compact nested arrangement that facilitates installation while minimizing the overall distance between the display screen and the wall
3Adaptability or versatility
If display modules are arranged with different thicknesses to accommodate various components, then the adaptability is improved, but the manufacturing precision required increases
Solution Approach 1:
Positioning planes and support structures act as intermediaries between display modules of different thicknesses and the back housing. These intermediary elements provide standardized mounting interfaces and alignment references, allowing modules with varying thicknesses to be installed with precise surface alignment while accommodating different internal component requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The back housing and support structures have locally varied properties: different portions have different thicknesses, materials, and structural characteristics tailored to the specific requirements of each display module. This local quality variation allows optimal accommodation of different components while maintaining overall surface alignment through precisely positioned outer surfaces
