Display Stand Structure for Hidden Cables and Flush Wall Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display apparatuses have exposed cables that damage their appearance and disrupt the user's viewing experience, and wall-mounted displays protrude significantly, occupying space and giving an unstable feel.
Innovation Solution
A display stand design that conceals cables and features a wall mount unit allowing the display body to be closely attached to the wall, creating a frame-like appearance, using a single stand mounting structure compatible with various designs and incorporating a cable management system to keep the exterior organized.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If cables are connected to the display body from outside, then power and signal transmission are enabled, but the appearance is damaged and viewing experience is disturbed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the cables from the visible rear area of the display body and routes them through the stand structure. The power cable and signal cable are guided through hollow portions of the stand's support members, removing the visual distraction from the display's appearance while maintaining full cable connectivity functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The stand acts as an intermediary structure that mediates between the display body and the external environment. It provides hidden pathways within its support members for cables to pass through, serving as a conduit that connects power and signal sources to the display while concealing the cables from view.
2Ease of operation
If wall mount unit protrudes from wall with significant length, then display body can be mounted on wall, but it occupies large space and gives unstable feeling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a protruding wall mount design to a flush-mounted design by moving the mounting mechanism into the plane of the wall. The mounting members are positioned within the display body's rear surface area, allowing the display to sit flush against the wall rather than protruding outward, thus eliminating unnecessary space occupation.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of having the wall mount unit protrude outward from the wall to support the display, the patent inverts the approach by having the mounting members integrated into the display body's rear surface. This allows the display to be mounted flush against the wall, reversing the traditional protruding configuration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If single stand mounting structure is used, then design versatility is improved, but cable management becomes more challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The stand is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a support structure and as a cable management system. The support members are configured with hollow portions that can accommodate cables, allowing the same stand structure to perform multiple functions: mechanical support and cable routing, thereby simplifying the overall system rather than adding complexity.

AI summary
A display stand and a display device comprising the same are disclosed. The disclosed display device may comprise: a display body including a display panel and having a mounting groove formed on the rear surface thereof; a stand which is detachably mounted to the mounting groove and conceals a cable connected to the display body; and a display body cover which is detachably coupled to the display body so as to cover the mounting groove and through which a part of the stand passes.
