Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display apparatuses face challenges in securely mounting stands without lifting the display, leading to potential damage from external forces and instability during use.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus with a rear cover and stand mounting part, featuring a detachable protection member that includes a support protection member and a mounting part protection member, allowing the stand to be coupled without lifting, and a locking mechanism to prevent separation and rotation, ensuring stable display orientation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the stand is mounted on the display by laying the display with front side facing the floor, then the stand can be securely mounted, but the display is vulnerable to external forces and potential damage during the mounting process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure mountingVSAvoidexternal forces damage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The protection member is attached to the display before the stand mounting process begins. This preliminary protective action covers the front surface and edges of the display, preventing external forces from directly contacting the display during the mounting operation where the display would otherwise need to be laid face-down.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The protection member acts as an intermediary element between the display and the external environment during stand mounting. It provides a protective barrier that allows the mounting process to proceed while the display remains in a safer, upright orientation rather than being laid face-down.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If the display is laid with front side facing the floor for stand mounting, then the stand can be attached, but the display becomes unstable and vulnerable to damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestand attachmentVSAvoiddisplay stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The protection member is pre-attached to the display before stand mounting, enabling the display to maintain its upright stability throughout the mounting process. This eliminates the need to lay the display face-down, thereby maintaining display stability while still allowing stand attachment to proceed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The protection member serves as an intermediary that facilitates the stand mounting process without requiring the display to be in an unstable, face-down position. It enables the mounting operation while the display remains upright and stable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the protection member covers the entire display including the stand mounting area, then the display is fully protected, but the stand mounting part is obscured and cannot be accessed for coupling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay protectionVSAvoidstand coupling accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The protection member is designed with segmented or openings that separate the protective coverage from the stand mounting area. This segmentation allows the front surface and edges to be protected while the stand mounting part remains accessible for coupling operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The protection member provides localized protection to specific areas of the display (front surface and edges) while deliberately leaving the stand mounting area uncovered or accessible. This local quality approach ensures protection where needed without obstructing functional areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Disclosed is a display apparatus including a display including a stand mounting part, a stand to which the stand mounting part is coupleable to mount the display on the stand, and a protection member comprising a portion that includes a support protection member and is detachably coupleable along an edge of the display so that, when the portion is coupled along the edge of the display, the support protection member covers a lower end portion of the display, and a mounting part protection member that is detachably coupleable along the edge of the display so that, when the mounting part protection member is coupled along the edge of the display, the mounting part protection member covers a portion of the display along which the stand is mountable, wherein the mounting part protection member is separately detachable from along the edge of the display while the portion that includes the support protection member remains coupled along the edge of the display with the support protection member covering the lower end portion of the display, to thereby uncover the portion of the display along which the stand is mountable.
