Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed support structure is used, then the device structure is simple, but the adaptability to different display orientations is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport orientation adaptabilityVSAvoidstand structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support transitions from a fixed static structure to a dynamic adjustable structure, enabling it to change orientation and angle to accommodate different display configurations while maintaining structural simplicity through controlled movement mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The stand is designed to perform multiple functions by supporting various display orientations (vertical, angled, side-by-side) using a unified adjustable structure, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated supports for different configurations

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed height support is used, then the structure is stable and simple, but the ergonomic adjustability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveergonomic adjustabilityVSAvoidsupport mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support height and angle are made dynamically adjustable rather than fixed, allowing users to modify the support configuration to achieve ergonomic viewing positions while using straightforward adjustment mechanisms that do not overly complicate the overall structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If a single orientation support is used, then the device is simple, but the versatility for different computing tasks is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay configuration versatilityVSAvoidstand mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stand is designed as a multi-functional support system that can accommodate vertical displays, angled configurations, and side-by-side arrangements, providing versatility for different computing tasks through a single unified adjustable mechanism rather than requiring separate dedicated supports for each configuration

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

AI summary

A display device stand can include a base that includes a fore portion with an upwardly sloping top surface defined by a first angle, an extension with an upwardly sloping fore surface defined by a second angle that is less than the first angle, and an aft portion, where the fore portion includes a front edge, the aft portion includes a back edge and the extension includes a top side that define vertexes of an acute triangle; and an adjustable support that includes a retracted state with respect to the extension and an extended state with respect to the extension.
