Display Panel Support Frame Layout for Ultra-Narrow Bezels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional narrow frame display devices, despite advancements in display panel technology reducing non-display areas, still suffer from wider frames due to the use of rubber frames, which obstruct the view and hinder the realization of a true full-screen experience.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a first supporting frame with a supporting portion bonded to the display panel and a fixing portion connected to a back plate, utilizing aluminum material for strength and adhesive overflow grooves to secure the frame components, ensuring the frame does not extend beyond the non-display area and maintaining structural integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If a conventional rubber frame is used to fix the display panel, then the display panel is securely supported, but the frame width becomes wider than the non-display area width, preventing a true full-screen appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the conventional rubber frame mechanical fixing system with a new structure consisting of a supporting frame, fixing adhesive, and clamping component. This substitution allows the frame width to be precisely controlled to match the non-display area width, achieving a true full-screen appearance while maintaining secure support for the display panel.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the key parameter of frame width from being determined by rubber frame dimensions to being precisely controlled by the supporting frame and clamping component geometry. By adjusting the parameters of these components, the frame width can be exactly matched to the non-display area width, enabling the full-screen effect.
2Shape
If the frame width is reduced to match the non-display area width, then a full-screen appearance is achieved, but the structural stability and fixing reliability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the fixing system into separate functional components: a supporting frame for structural support, a fixing adhesive for bonding, and a clamping component for mechanical fixation. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, ensuring both precise frame width control and reliable fixing while maintaining structural stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a composite fixing system combining multiple materials and mechanisms: the supporting frame material, fixing adhesive (chemical bonding), and clamping component (mechanical fixation). This composite approach provides both precise dimensional control for full-screen appearance and multiple layers of reliability for secure fixing.
3Stability of the object's composition
If adhesive is applied to fix the supporting frame to the back plate, then the frame structure is stabilized, but adhesive overflow may occur into the display area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the potential harmful effect of adhesive overflow into a beneficial feature by designing adhesive overflow grooves on the supporting frame. These grooves channel any excess adhesive away from the display area, transforming the overflow problem into a controlled flow path that prevents contamination while maintaining structural stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The adhesive overflow groove acts as an intermediary structure between the adhesive application area and the display area. It mediates the adhesive flow, ensuring that adhesive remains contained and does not overflow into the display area, while still allowing the necessary adhesive to bond the supporting frame to the back plate.
