Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing liquid crystal display devices have complex structures that result in higher costs without ensuring stability, necessitating a reduction in cost without compromising structure stability.
Innovation Solution
A display module with a frame that includes frame side walls, supporting structures, and a fixing structure, eliminating the need for a rubber frame by using bent frame side walls as supporting elements and adhesion or shielding elements to stabilize the display panel, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing costs while maintaining stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a rubber frame is used to support the display panel, then the structure stability is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the rubber frame from the display device structure and replaces it with a metal frame that has integrated supporting structures. This extraction of the separate rubber frame component simplifies the overall structure while maintaining support functionality through the metal frame's designed supporting elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the supporting function previously performed by the rubber frame with the metal frame structure. The metal frame integrates both structural support and panel support functions through its frame side walls and supporting structures, eliminating the need for a separate rubber frame component.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a rubber frame is used to support the display panel, then the structure stability is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the rubber frame component from the assembly, reducing the number of parts that need to be manufactured and assembled. This extraction reduces manufacturing complexity and associated costs while maintaining structural stability through the metal frame's integrated design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the supporting function into the metal frame structure, reducing the total component count. By combining multiple functions into a single metal frame structure, the patent reduces manufacturing steps, assembly operations, and overall production costs.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a rubber frame is used, then the display panel is supported, but the display area is reduced due to the frame occupying space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the rubber frame that previously occupied space around the display panel. By extracting this component and replacing it with a thinner metal frame structure, more of the panel area can be utilized for display purposes, reducing the non-display frame area.
4Ease of manufacture
If the frame structure is simplified by removing the rubber frame, then the cost is reduced, but the structure stability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the supporting function into the metal frame structure with specifically designed supporting structures. These integrated supporting elements provide the necessary stability and support for the display panel, ensuring reliability is maintained despite the removal of the rubber frame.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the structural parameters of the metal frame by adding supporting structures with specific geometries (such as bending frame side walls to form supporting surfaces). These parameter changes ensure the metal frame can bear the display panel's weight and maintain stability without requiring a rubber frame.
