Overlapping PCB Guide Holder Structure for Impact-Stable Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses face challenges in securely connecting the printed circuit board (PCB) to the display panel, particularly under external impact and shaking, leading to potential separation and defects.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus design featuring a flexible film connected to the display panel, a source PCB connected to the film, a connection member linking the PCBs, and a guide holder that fixes the PCBs, ensuring they overlap under the panel, with hooks and protrusions for secure fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional connection methods are used to attach the printed circuit board to the display panel, then the assembly process is simple, but the PCB separates under external impact and shaking
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure is divided into multiple functional components: guide holder for positioning, hooks for anchoring, and protrusions for mechanical interlocking. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while collectively providing robust connection stability under external impact and shaking.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection mechanism transitions from a single-plane attachment to a multi-dimensional structure using hooks that extend in different directions and protrusions that create three-point contact. This dimensional expansion ensures the PCB remains firmly attached from multiple angles and resists separation forces more effectively.
2Reliability
If a secure fixation structure with hooks and protrusions is used, then the PCB remains tightly connected under impact, but the mounting process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The guide holder is pre-formed with integrated hooks and protrusions during the molding process, so that the complex fixation structure is created in a single manufacturing step rather than requiring subsequent assembly operations. This preliminary action maintains anti-separation performance while simplifying the overall manufacturing workflow.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple fixation elements (hooks, protrusions, and positioning features) are merged into a single integrated guide holder component. This consolidation reduces the number of separate parts that need to be handled and assembled, thereby maintaining robust anti-separation performance while improving ease of manufacture through reduced assembly complexity.

AI summary
A display apparatus can include a display panel, a flexible film connected to the display panel, a source printed circuit board connected to the flexible film, a connection member connected to the printed circuit board, a control printed circuit board connected to the connection member, and a guide holder that fixes the source printed circuit board and the control printed circuit board. The source printed circuit board and the control printed circuit board overlap each other under the display panel.
