Solution Overview

Problem

Current flat-panel display devices face challenges in achieving a slimmer form factor due to the space occupied by wireless network adapters and rechargeable batteries, which also contribute to inconvenience and weight, limiting their portability and usability.

Innovation Solution

Integration of a wireless network adapter and a wireless power receiver within the display panel, allowing for wireless internet connectivity and power charging without the need for a dedicated card slot or external charging infrastructure, thereby reducing device size and weight.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a card slot is reserved for wireless network adapter in a flat-panel display device, then wireless network connectivity is achieved, but the device space is occupied and the device becomes thicker

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewireless network connectivityVSAvoiddevice space
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the wireless network adapter with the display panel by integrating it into the array substrate or opposed substrate. This integration eliminates the need for a separate card slot and allows the adapter to share the same space as the display components, thereby achieving wireless network connectivity without occupying additional device space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a planar arrangement where the wireless network adapter would occupy horizontal space in a card slot to a three-dimensional integration within the display panel's substrate layers. This dimensional change allows the adapter to be embedded within the existing structural depth of the display panel, reducing the overall device volume.

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

2Reliability

If a rechargeable battery with wired charger is provided in a flat-panel display device, then continuous power supply is achieved, but the device becomes heavier and occupies larger space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supply continuityVSAvoiddevice weight
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical wired charging system with a wireless power transmission system. Instead of using a physical charging cable and socket, the device employs wireless power transmission technology that allows power transfer through electromagnetic fields, thereby eliminating the need for heavy mechanical charging components while maintaining continuous power supply capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent integrates wireless power reception functionality directly into the display panel, allowing the same device structure to serve both display and wireless power reception functions. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate wired charging infrastructure and reduces overall device weight.

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

3Reliability

If a rechargeable battery with wired charger is provided in a flat-panel display device, then power charging is achieved, but the device becomes thicker

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower charging capabilityVSAvoiddevice thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical wired charging system with a wireless power transmission system. Instead of using a physical charging cable and socket, the device employs wireless power transmission technology that allows power transfer through electromagnetic fields, thereby eliminating the need for heavy mechanical charging components while maintaining continuous power supply capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the wireless power receiver with the display panel by integrating it into the array substrate or opposed substrate. This integration eliminates the need for a separate charging socket and connecting line, allowing power charging to occur within the existing display panel structure without increasing device thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Reliability

If a wired charger and connecting line are provided for battery charging, then power supply is achieved, but the device becomes more complex and inconvenient to use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower supplyVSAvoidcharging convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical wired charging system with a wireless power transmission system. Instead of using a physical charging cable and socket, the device employs wireless power transmission technology that allows power transfer through electromagnetic fields, thereby eliminating the need for heavy mechanical charging components while maintaining continuous power supply capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service charging functionality where the display panel automatically receives and processes power wirelessly without requiring user intervention to connect cables or manage charging connections. The integrated wireless power receiver continuously accepts power transmission, making the charging process transparent and convenient for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
