Display Device Mounting Base for Desk and Wall Placement Versatility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices are limited in placement arrangements, as desk-mounted types can only be placed horizontally and wall-mounted types can only be placed vertically, requiring additional supports for alternative orientations.
Innovation Solution
A display device and mounting base design that includes second and third threaded holes on the display screen and a mounting base with a wall-mounted member, allowing the display to be securely positioned in both horizontal and vertical planes using connecting members and optional snap-in slots, enabling flexible placement between desk-mounted and wall-mounted configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a display device is designed as a desk-mounted type, then it can be placed in a horizontal plane, but it cannot be mounted on a wall without an additional wall-mounted support
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting base is designed with dual functionality: it can serve as a desk-mounted support base when connected to the second threaded hole, and as a wall-mounted support when connected to the third threaded hole. This multi-functional design allows the display device to be placed in both horizontal and vertical orientations using the same base, eliminating the need for separate mounting accessories and resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If a display device is designed as a wall-mounted type, then it can be placed in a wall plane, but it cannot be placed in a horizontal plane without an additional support base
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting base incorporates both a second threaded hole for desk-mounted configuration and a third threaded hole for wall-mounted configuration. The wall-mounted member with wall-mounted slots provides wall mounting capability, while the same base structure supports horizontal placement when connected to the second threaded hole. This universal design enables the display device to function in both wall-mounted and desk-mounted modes without requiring additional support bases, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity
3Reliability
If separate mounting bases are provided for desk-mounted and wall-mounted configurations, then each configuration can be properly supported, but the device complexity and number of components increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functions of separate desk-mounted base and wall-mounted base into a single integrated mounting base. This unified base contains both the second threaded hole (for desk mounting) and the third threaded hole with wall-mounted member (for wall mounting). By combining multiple mounting functions into one component, the design maintains reliable support for both configurations while reducing the total number of components and simplifying the overall device structure

AI summary
Disclosed is a display device which is capable of being selectively placed in a desk-mounted manner or a wall-mounted manner so that it has a good utility. The display device includes: a display screen on which a first mounting member and a second mounting member are provided; and a mounting base on which a wall-mounted member is provided. The display screen may be supported by the mounting base in a horizontal plane when the mounting base is connected to the first mounting member on the display screen via a first connecting member, and the display screen may be supported by the mounting base in a wall plane with its wall-mounted member being connected to the wall when the mounting base is connected to the second mounting member on the display screen via a second connecting member.
