Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatuses face challenges in providing a stand that enhances usability, easy mounting of control devices, stability, prevention of separation, cost-effectiveness, slim design, and simple appearance.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus with a stand that includes a bolt protruding from the stand body, allowing the control device to be easily mounted by inserting into a mounting hole, and a holder system that restricts movement, eliminating the need for complex connections and additional components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a complex connection system with multiple components is used to mount the control device, then the mounting stability is improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting stabilityVSAvoidconnection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting system is segmented into two functional parts: a mounting hole in the control device and a corresponding protrusion on the stand body. This segmentation allows each component to be simple while achieving reliable mounting through their complementary interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting and support functions are merged into a single integrated structure where the protrusion serves both as the mounting anchor and the support element, eliminating the need for separate mounting hardware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If multiple additional components are used to ensure stable mounting, then the mounting reliability is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The protrusion structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the mounting anchor, the support element, and the positioning feature. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for additional components, reducing manufacturing cost while maintaining reliability.

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

3Reliability

If protruding structures are added to the stand to secure the control device, then the prevention of separation is improved, but the slim design is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveseparation preventionVSAvoidstand profile
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of adding protruding structures to the stand to secure the device, the design inverts the approach by creating a recessed mounting hole in the control device that receives a protrusion from the stand. This allows secure mounting without external protrusions on the stand body.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

4Device complexity

If a simple mounting structure is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the mounting stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting structure complexityVSAvoidmounting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting hole and protrusion are designed with asymmetric complementary shapes that provide stable mounting through precise geometric fit. The asymmetric design ensures proper orientation and secure connection without requiring complex additional components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

AI summary

A display apparatus includes a display; a stand, and a control device. The stand includes a stand body and a bolt. The bolt may be configured to protrude from the stand body. The control device is electrically connectable to the display and includes a mounting hole on the side. The stand and the control device may be configured so that the bolt protruding from the stand body may be inserted into the mounting hole to mount the control device on the stand. The control device mounted on the stand is supported by the stand.
