Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses with integrated optical modules, such as cameras and sensors, face challenges in size due to the physical dimensions of these modules, limiting design flexibility for various applications.
Innovation Solution
The display apparatus incorporates an optical module-supporting structure around a hole in the display panel, allowing the optical module to overlap the display panel, thereby reducing the non-display area and stabilizing the module's coupling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the optical module is disposed at the edge of the display panel, then the optical module can be included in the display apparatus, but the display apparatus becomes large in size due to the physical size of the optical module
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by moving the optical module from the lateral edge position to a position overlapping the display panel in the vertical dimension. The optical module is disposed to overlap the display panel through a hole formed in the display panel, utilizing the depth dimension rather than lateral space. This allows the optical module to be integrated without increasing the lateral dimensions of the display apparatus, effectively resolving the contradiction between integration capability and compact size.
2Area of stationary object
If the optical module is disposed to overlap the display panel, then the non-display area is reduced, but the optical module needs a stable coupling structure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the coupling structure and support structure into a single integrated component. The coupling structure, which fastens the optical module, is combined with the support structure that supports the rear surface of the display panel. This unified structure not only reduces the number of components and simplifies the overall structure but also ensures stable coupling of the optical module while maintaining structural integrity. The merged structure provides both mechanical support and secure fastening in one element.
3Reliability
If separate fastening and support structures are used, then the optical module can be securely fastened, but the structure becomes complex and weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the fastening structure and support structure into a single integrated component. The coupling structure that secures the optical module is merged with the support structure that bears the rear surface of the display panel. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate fastening elements and support elements, reducing the total number of components while maintaining both fastening reliability and structural support functionality. The unified structure reduces complexity and weight compared to having separate fastening and support structures.
