Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing visual display systems face challenges in achieving uniform visual quality and ease of installation, service, and maintenance due to the complexity of aligning and abutting multiple display modules without visual aberrations, especially when mounted on uneven or curved surfaces.
Innovation Solution
A novel display module mounting apparatus featuring a releasable frame coupler, a pivoting releasable frame coupler, and an adjustable linkage that allows for adjustable deflection of the display plane, enabling precise alignment and easy service of display modules on a support frame without disturbing adjacent modules, and accommodating underlying surface imperfections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If display modules are rigidly fixed to the support frame, then structural stability is improved, but alignment precision and compensation for surface irregularities deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting apparatus employs adjustable linkages with degrees of freedom that allow the display module to dynamically adapt its position and orientation. The linkage mechanism includes movable joints and adjustment components that enable real-time alignment adjustments while maintaining structural support, resolving the contradiction between rigid stability and flexible alignment precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows changes in geometric parameters such as distance, angle, and position through the adjustable linkage mechanism. The linkage can modify its configuration to compensate for surface irregularities and achieve precise alignment, while the overall structural stability is maintained through the constrained degrees of freedom in the mounting apparatus.
2Manufacturing precision
If display modules are tightly coupled to ensure uniform visual effect, then visual quality is improved, but ease of service and maintenance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting apparatus is designed as a modular system with distinct components including releasable frame couplers, adjustable linkages, and mounting brackets. This segmentation allows individual display modules to be serviced independently while maintaining the overall visual uniformity of the display wall through standardized interfaces and alignment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable linkage acts as an intermediary between the support frame and the display module, providing both mechanical support and alignment functions. This intermediary mechanism enables the display module to be easily detached and reattached while maintaining precise alignment and uniform visual effect across the display wall.
3Manufacturing precision
If complex alignment mechanisms are used to achieve precise module positioning, then alignment precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting apparatus uses dynamic adjustment mechanisms with controlled degrees of freedom that simplify the alignment process. The adjustable linkage provides automatic self-alignment through its mechanical design, reducing the need for complex manual adjustment procedures while achieving precise positioning of display modules.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting mechanism incorporates self-aligning features where the adjustable linkage automatically positions the display module in the correct orientation and location. The releasable frame couplers and mounting brackets are designed to guide the module into proper alignment during installation, eliminating the need for complex external alignment tools or procedures.

AI summary
Display module mounting apparatus and methods provide mounting features enabling ease of installation and service. The apparatus may have one or more releasable frame couplers and pivoting releasable frame couplers coupled to a display module having a display plane defined in relation to a substrate. One or more adjustable linkages may adjustably define a standoff distance between the display plane and a support frame to which the module may be mounted by the mounting apparatus. Concave and convex adjustments to the display plane may be made. Operation of pivoting action to tilt the display plane enables installation, removal, and serviceability of large displays constructed with a tiled plurality of display modules.
