Rear Housing Plate Attachment for Hole-Free Display Component Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices often lack fastening holes for attaching components like speakers, and the positions of pre-provisioned holes may not match, making it difficult to improve workability in attaching components to the rear housing.
Innovation Solution
A display device attachment structure comprising a plate member attached to the rear housing with a fastening member and a fixing member, such as permanent magnets or bolts, which allows components to be attached without requiring new fastening holes, using a different type of fastener for fixing the plate member to the rear housing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If new fastening holes are provided on the rear housing to attach components, then component attachment becomes possible, but the manufacturing complexity and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
A plate member is introduced as an intermediary component between the rear housing and the component. The plate member has pre-provided fastening holes that can be used to attach components, eliminating the need to modify the rear housing itself. This mediator approach resolves the contradiction by enabling component attachment without increasing the complexity of the rear housing manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment function is segmented from the rear housing to a separate plate member. The plate member is a detachable accessory that can be attached to the rear housing and removed when not needed. This segmentation allows component attachment capability to be added without permanently modifying the rear housing structure, thus avoiding increased manufacturing complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If new fastening holes are provided on the rear housing to attach components, then component attachment becomes possible, but the attachment time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The plate member is prepared in advance with fastening holes already provided during its manufacturing process, not during the rear housing assembly. This preliminary action means that when the plate member is attached to the rear housing, the fastening holes are ready to use immediately, eliminating the need for time-consuming drilling or modification operations during the attachment process.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the plate member is directly attached to the rear housing, then component attachment is enabled, but vibration-induced sound generation occurs
Solution Approach 1:
A cushioning member is introduced as an intermediary between the plate member and the rear housing. This cushioning member acts as a vibration isolator that absorbs and dampens vibrations transmitted from the component through the plate member to the rear housing, thereby reducing vibration-induced sound generation while still enabling secure attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The cushioning member is pre-installed between the plate member and the rear housing before the component is attached. This beforehand cushioning ensures that vibration isolation is built into the attachment structure from the beginning, preventing vibration-induced sound generation rather than addressing it after the fact.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This configuration reduces the need for new fastening holes on the rear housing, improves workability in attaching components, and minimizes sound generation from vibrations by separating the plate member from the rear housing, enhancing stability and attachment ease.

AI summary
A display device attachment structure comprises a plate member configured to be attached to a rear housing of a display device and to which a component of the display device is configured to be attached, a fastening member attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to a back surface of the rear housing opposite a display surface of the display device via a fastening hole, and a fixing member attached to the plate member for fixing the plate member to the back surface of the rear housing, the fixing member being a different type of fastener than the fastening member.
