Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatuses lack improved usability, adjustable height, and angle adjustment capabilities, often requiring larger stands that are not space-efficient.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus with a stand that includes a detachable mounting part and a rotatable supporting part, allowing for locking and unlocking positions, enabling adjustable height and angle adjustments through a connector system with magnetic fixation and guide portions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a stand is designed to support a display, then the display can be held in position, but the stand occupies space and reduces usability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport stabilityVSAvoidusability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The stand incorporates a rotatable supporting part that can transition between locked and unlocked states, enabling dynamic adjustment of the display's position while maintaining stability when locked, thus resolving the contradiction between support reliability and ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If a stand provides height and angle adjustment, then usability is improved, but the stand becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadjustabilityVSAvoidstand structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stand is divided into distinct functional components: a mounting part for attachment, a supporting part for position adjustment, and a connector for linkage. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function simply, reducing overall complexity while enabling height and angle adjustment capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Volume of moving object

If a stand is made compact, then space efficiency is improved, but adjustment capabilities are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestand sizeVSAvoidadjustment range
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The rotatable supporting part with locked and unlocked states enables a compact stand design to provide full adjustment capabilities. When unlocked, the supporting part can rotate to achieve various heights and angles; when locked, it maintains the selected position stably, thus providing versatility within a compact form factor

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A display apparatus includes: a display; and a stand configured to support the display. The stand includes: a mounting part detachably mountable on the display; and a supporting part rotatable in a first direction to a locking position or an unlocking position. A movement of the supporting part with respect to the mounting part is restricted in a state in which the supporting part is in the locking position. The movement of the supporting part with respect to the mounting part is allowed in a state in which the supporting part is in the unlocking position. In a state in which the supporting part is in the locking position, the mounting part is rotatable in a second direction different from the first direction.
