Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face limitations in weight reduction and designability due to their configuration, which includes multiple structural members that complicate the design and increase weight.

Innovation Solution

A display device configuration where a sealing resin layer is provided on the peripheral edge of the display panel, with its surface forming the same plane as the display panel, simplifying structural members and eliminating the need for a front surface member.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple structural members (first frame, second frame, back surface cover) are used to accommodate the display panel, then the display device achieves structural stability and protection, but the weight increases and designability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoiddevice weight
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSWeight of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the sealing function and the structural support function into a single integrated frame structure. The frame simultaneously seals the display panel edges and provides mechanical support, eliminating the need for separate sealing components and reducing overall part count and weight while maintaining structural stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The frame is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both the structural support member and the sealing member for the display panel. This multi-functional design reduces the number of components needed and simplifies the overall device structure, addressing both reliability and weight reduction goals

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

2Reliability

If multiple structural members (first frame, second frame, back surface cover) are used to accommodate the display panel, then the display device achieves structural stability and protection, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple structural members into a single integrated frame structure that performs both sealing and support functions. This merging reduces the number of discrete components and simplifies the overall device architecture while maintaining the necessary structural stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and eliminates unnecessary intermediate structural members from the conventional multi-component design. By removing redundant frames and covers, the design achieves structural stability with fewer components, thereby reducing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If a front surface member is used to cover the display panel edge, then the display device achieves structural completeness, but the weight increases and designability is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural completenessVSAvoiddevice weight
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSWeight of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the front surface member from the device structure by integrating its sealing function directly into the frame. This extraction of the unnecessary component reduces weight while maintaining structural completeness through the frame's integrated sealing design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The frame is designed to combine the structural support function with the edge sealing function that would traditionally require a separate front surface member. This merging eliminates the need for the additional component, reducing weight while achieving structural completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
