Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face issues such as sagging of components and increased thickness due to the coupling of plates and frames, which can affect the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

Innovation Solution

A display device design that includes a plate coupled to a frame with a mount plate, where the plate has fixing parts protruding through the frame to secure it to the mount plate, and adhesive members to minimize sagging and thickness, while using injection molded parts for structural support.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the plate and frame are coupled together to provide structural support, then the structural integrity is improved, but the thickness of the display device increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidthickness
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is positioned within the recess of the plate, and the mount plate is coupled to the frame such that components are nested within each other. This nesting arrangement allows the frame and mount plate to be integrated into the plate's recess without significantly increasing the overall thickness, while still providing the structural support needed for structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Strength

If the plate and frame are coupled together to provide structural support, then the structural integrity is improved, but sagging of the plate occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidsagging
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is specifically positioned within a recess of the plate, creating a localized reinforcement structure. The mount plate is coupled to the frame at specific locations, providing targeted support where needed. This localized approach prevents sagging in critical areas without requiring the entire plate to be uniformly reinforced, thus maintaining structural integrity while preventing deformation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Strength

If multiple components (plate, frame, mount plate) are used to support the display panel, then the structural support is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural supportVSAvoidcomponent assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is merged with the plate by positioning it within the plate's recess, creating an integrated structure. The mount plate is coupled to the frame in a manner that combines multiple support functions into a single assembly. This merging reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall assembly process, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining structural support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
