Display Module Fixing Structure for Narrow-Bezel Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies face challenges in designing a fixing device that can achieve both a narrow frame appearance and effective fixation of display modules during assembly, particularly due to the need for threaded connections which can be cumbersome and space-consuming.
Innovation Solution
A fixing device with protrusions on the frame and a detachable fixture featuring a through-hole and connecting hole, where the fixture includes elastomer portions that facilitate easy assembly and connection without occupying internal space, allowing for a narrow frame appearance while ensuring secure fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If threaded connection holes are designed on the display module for fixation, then the display module can be securely fixed during assembly, but the frame width increases and the narrow frame appearance is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the connection function from the display module itself and relocates it to the frame. The frame is provided with protrusions that have through-holes for receiving fixtures, while the display module has connecting members that engage with these fixtures. This separation allows the display module to maintain a narrow frame appearance without threaded connection holes, while still achieving secure fixation through the frame's protrusion-fixture-connecting member assembly.
2Ease of operation
If a detachable fixture is used for connection, then assembly and disassembly become easier, but the connection structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a nested structure where the fixture is received within the through-hole of the protrusion, and the connecting member is inserted through the fixture. The fixture acts as an intermediary component that nests between the frame's protrusion and the display module's connecting member. This nested arrangement enables detachable connection with simple operations while avoiding excessive structural complexity by using a compact, hierarchical component layout.
