Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display apparatuses face challenges in slimming due to the thickness of wireless modules and increased manufacturing costs and crosstalk from multiple cables used for wireless communication, which hinder productivity.
Innovation Solution
The display apparatus integrates a spatially separated wireless communication unit with a thin film antenna and a wireless communication board, eliminating the need for a modularized package and reducing cable length to minimize space and crosstalk, while optimizing antenna placement for improved sensitivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a separately packaged wireless module is installed in the display apparatus, then wireless communication function is achieved, but the thickness of the display apparatus increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the antenna and wireless communication board into a single integrated structure where the antenna is directly formed on the wireless communication board. This eliminates the need for a separate packaged wireless module, allowing the wireless communication function to be achieved while reducing the overall thickness of the display apparatus.
Solution Approach 2:
The wireless communication board serves multiple functions: it acts as both the communication circuit board and the mounting substrate for the antenna. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate packaging and reduces the thickness requirement while maintaining wireless communication capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cables are used to connect the wireless module to the control board, then wireless communication is enabled, but manufacturing cost increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the antenna and wireless communication board into one integrated component, eliminating the need for multiple cables and connectors. This reduces assembly complexity and improves manufacturing productivity while maintaining full wireless communication functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts and eliminates the unnecessary cables and connectors from the system by integrating the antenna directly onto the wireless communication board. This removal of excess components simplifies the assembly process and enhances manufacturing efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cables are used for wireless module connection, then wireless communication is achieved, but crosstalk occurs between adjacent cables
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the antenna and wireless communication board into a single integrated structure, the patent eliminates multiple adjacent cables that could cause crosstalk. The integration ensures that the wireless communication function is achieved without the harmful electromagnetic interference between separate cable bundles.
