Display Screen Sounding Structure for Volume Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional OLED display apparatuses rely on external speakers for sound, limiting their fashionability, uniqueness, and application scope due to their bulkiness and lack of integrated sound production capabilities.
Innovation Solution
The display apparatus incorporates a sounding structure with flexible conductive parts and insulators on both sides of the display screen, which deform and vibrate under electric sound signals to produce sound, eliminating the need for external speakers by integrating sound production directly into the display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If external speakers are used for sound production, then sound output is achieved, but the volume and complexity of the display apparatus increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the sound production function with the display screen by integrating conductive parts directly onto the screen structure. The conductive parts are formed on the display screen itself, eliminating the need for separate external speakers and reducing overall apparatus volume while maintaining sound output capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The display screen is designed to serve multiple functions: visual display and sound production. The conductive parts on the screen enable it to act as both a display surface and a sounding structure, allowing one component to perform multiple functions and thereby reducing the need for additional separate components.
2Power
If external speakers are used, then sound output is achieved, but the fashionability and uniqueness of the display apparatus is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By combining the sounding structure with the display screen, the patent creates a more integrated and aesthetically pleasing design. The conductive parts are formed on the screen surface, making the sound production capability inherent to the display itself rather than an add-on component, thereby enhancing fashionability and uniqueness.
3Volume of stationary object
If a sounding structure is integrated into the display screen, then the volume of the display apparatus is reduced, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs flexible conductive parts that can be formed directly on the display screen surface. These thin-film conductive structures allow the sounding function to be integrated without adding significant structural complexity, as they can be deposited or patterned onto the existing screen layers using standard manufacturing techniques.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes changes in electrical parameters (applying voltage to conductive parts) to achieve sound production. By controlling the electrical state of the conductive parts, the display screen can be made to vibrate and produce sound without requiring complex mechanical structures, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining compact size.
4Power
If conductive parts are made flexible with small curvature radius, then sound production efficiency is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses flexible conductive parts with small curvature radii that can be formed on the display screen. These thin-film structures inherently possess flexibility and can be patterned using standard semiconductor manufacturing techniques, achieving the required precision through established processes rather than requiring new manufacturing methods.
