Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices face challenges in protecting side surfaces during packaging and conveying, leading to potential damage and issues with magnetic components sticking to the packaging members, which can cause load and damage during the conveying process.

Innovation Solution

A display device design that includes a cover shield on the rear surface, magnetic units, and packaging members on the side surfaces, with a fixing plate made of ferromagnetic material to shield the magnetic field and prevent unnecessary components from sticking, allowing for easy packaging and safe conveying.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If packaging members are used to protect side surfaces during conveying, then protection of display panel side surfaces is improved, but magnetic components may stick to packaging members causing load and damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection of display panel side surfacesVSAvoidmagnetic components sticking to packaging members
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A non-magnetic shielding plate is introduced as an intermediary between the magnetic components and the packaging members. The shielding plate blocks the magnetic field from reaching the packaging members, preventing magnetic components from sticking to them during conveying, while still allowing the packaging members to protect the display panel side surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If packaging members are disposed on side surfaces for protection, then safety during conveying is improved, but assembly and disassembly processes become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesafety during conveyingVSAvoidassembly and disassembly processes
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging structure is segmented into modular packaging members that can be independently disposed on each side surface of the display panel. Each packaging member can be separately assembled and disassembled, simplifying the overall process while maintaining comprehensive protection during conveying.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Strength

If magnetic units are disposed on rear surface for fixing, then fixing strength is improved, but unnecessary components may stick to magnetic units during packaging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing strength of magnetic unitsVSAvoidunnecessary components sticking to magnetic units
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A non-magnetic shielding plate is positioned between the magnetic units on the rear surface and the surrounding environment during packaging. This shielding plate acts as a barrier that prevents unnecessary components from being attracted to the magnetic units, while the magnetic units continue to provide strong fixing strength for the display panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
