Display Apparatus with Transparent Electrode Panel for Power Supply
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display apparatuses require bulky and non-transparent power cables, which can obstruct the aesthetic appeal and immersion experience due to their thickness and visibility, especially in thin and wall-mounted designs.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus that utilizes a transparent electrode panel to supply power, allowing for a sleeker design by eliminating traditional power cables and enabling power transmission through a transparent electrode unit with high light transmittance, which can be integrated into the rear cover and stand systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional power cables are used to supply power to the display apparatus, then reliable power supply is achieved, but the aesthetic appeal and immersion experience deteriorate due to the thickness and visibility of the cables
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the power transmission function from the traditional opaque power cable and relocates it to the transparent electrode panel. The electrode panel, which is already present for display purposes, is made transparent with light transmittance ≥50% to allow power transmission without visible cables, thus removing the aesthetic drawback while preserving power supply functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies transparency (optical property) to the electrode panel, changing its visual appearance from opaque to transparent. This allows the power transmission path to become invisible or barely visible, improving aesthetic appearance while maintaining the power supply function through the same structural component
2Reliability
If traditional power cables are used, then power supply function is ensured, but the display apparatus thickness increases and immersion experience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the power transmission function with the electrode panel structure. Instead of using a separate power cable that would add thickness, the power transmission capability is integrated into the transparent electrode panel that is already part of the display structure, thus avoiding additional thickness while ensuring power supply function
3Shape
If transparent electrode panel with high light transmittance is used for power supply, then aesthetic appearance and immersion experience are improved, but power transmission capability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the material parameters of the electrode panel, specifically achieving light transmittance ≥50% while maintaining electrical conductivity. This is accomplished through selective material composition and structural design that allows simultaneous optimization of optical transparency and electrical performance for reliable power transmission
4Device complexity
If electrode panel is integrated into rear cover and stand systems, then device complexity is reduced and sleek design is achieved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the electrode panel multi-functional by integrating it into both the rear cover assembly and the stand mechanism. The same transparent electrode panel serves as part of the rear cover structure and extends into the stand, providing both structural support and power transmission functions, thus reducing overall device complexity while requiring precise manufacturing integration
