Solution Overview

Problem

Existing TV mounting brackets designed for LED TVs do not effectively showcase the ultra-thin design of OLED TVs when mounted on a wall, as they add additional thickness and obscure the slim profile of the OLED TVs.

Innovation Solution

A display mounting apparatus with a wall plate, first and second adjusting mechanisms, and a mounting support that occupies minimal space on the mounting wall, allowing the OLED TV to be mounted closer to the wall without increasing overall thickness, and includes mechanisms for horizontal and vertical angle adjustments to enhance the ultra-thin effect and user comfort.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If a conventional mounting bracket designed for LED TVs is used to mount an OLED TV, then the TV can be mounted on the wall, but the ultra-thin effect of the OLED TV is not obvious due to additional mounting thickness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveultra-thin effectVSAvoidmounting thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the nesting principle by placing the first and second connecting members inside the mounting wall space of the connecting plate. The connecting members are positioned within the thickness of the mounting wall rather than adding to it, allowing the OLED TV to be mounted with minimal protrusion from the wall surface, thus achieving the ultra-thin effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a conventional external mounting approach to an internal space utilization approach. By utilizing the mounting wall space (moving to another dimension of space utilization), the connecting members are accommodated within the wall thickness rather than extending beyond it, reducing the overall mounting protrusion and achieving the ultra-thin effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Length of stationary object

If the first and second connecting members are placed on the mounting wall of the connecting plate, then the display mounting apparatus becomes thinner, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting thicknessVSAvoidmounting structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting plate serves multiple functions: it provides the mounting wall for securing the connecting members, acts as the primary structural support, and facilitates both rotation and sliding adjustments. By making the connecting plate multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby managing structural complexity while achieving the ultra-thin mounting effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the functions of mounting, rotation adjustment, and sliding adjustment into an integrated structure. The first and second connecting members are combined with the connecting plate through rotation and sliding mechanisms, creating a unified mounting system that achieves thinness without requiring numerous separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional mounting brackets are used, then installation is simple, but the viewing angle adjustment capability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angle adjustmentVSAvoidadjusting mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the mounting structure adjustable rather than fixed. The first connecting member can rotate relative to the connecting plate, and the second connecting member can slide along the mounting wall, enabling dynamic adjustment of viewing angles. This dynamic capability enhances adaptability while the mechanisms are designed to be relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the adjustment functions into two independent mechanisms: rotation adjustment through the first connecting member and sliding adjustment through the second connecting member. This segmentation allows each mechanism to be relatively simple while collectively providing comprehensive viewing angle adjustment capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a display mounting apparatus for mounting a display screen on a wall. The display mounting apparatus includes a wall plate, a first adjusting mechanism, a second adjusting mechanism, and a mounting support. A rear end of the first adjusting mechanism is rotatablely coupled on the wall plate. The second adjusting mechanism is rotatably coupled with a front end of the first adjusting mechanism. The second adjusting mechanism is configured to mount the mounting support. The mounting support is configured to mount the display screen. By using the display mounting apparatus, the display screen is closer to the wall, so that the ultra-thin effect of the display screen after installation is better.
