Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional double-sided display devices constructed from two single-sided display devices face issues of increased thickness, weight, and cost, while also suffering from insufficient structural strength due to the 'lighting and thinning' trend.

Innovation Solution

A double-sided display device design featuring a single plate with opposing display modules and frames that clamp the plate, reducing thickness and weight while enhancing structural strength through a single-plate configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If two single-sided display devices are assembled to create a double-sided display device, then double-sided display functionality is achieved, but the thickness and weight of the module rapidly increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedouble-sided display functionalityVSAvoidmodule thickness

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges two display modules onto a single plate structure, where the first display module is disposed on a first surface of the plate and the second display module is disposed on a second surface of the plate. This consolidation approach achieves double-sided display functionality while avoiding the thickness accumulation that would result from stacking two separate single-sided display devices, thereby resolving the technical contradiction between functionality and thickness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If two single-sided display devices are assembled to create a double-sided display device, then double-sided display functionality is achieved, but the weight of the module rapidly increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedouble-sided display functionalityVSAvoidmodule weight

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSWeight of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges two display modules onto a single plate structure, where the first display module is disposed on a first surface of the plate and the second display module is disposed on a second surface of the plate. This consolidation approach achieves double-sided display functionality while avoiding the weight accumulation that would result from stacking two separate single-sided display devices, thereby resolving the technical contradiction between functionality and weight.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If two single-sided display devices are assembled to create a double-sided display device, then double-sided display functionality is achieved, but more components are needed for bonding and carrying, increasing cost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedouble-sided display functionalityVSAvoidnumber of components

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges two display modules onto a single plate structure, eliminating the need for additional bonding components and carrying structures that would be required if two separate single-sided display devices were assembled. This unified design reduces component count and simplifies the overall structure while achieving double-sided display functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Length of stationary object

If the display device is designed to be lighting and thinning, then the trend of being lighting and thinning is achieved, but the structural strength becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemodule thicknessVSAvoidstructural strength

Core Design Contradiction:

Length of stationary objectVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent distributes the two display modules onto opposite surfaces of a single plate, utilizing the third dimension (depth/thickness) of the plate to separate the display modules spatially. This dimensional arrangement allows the device to maintain a thin profile while preserving structural integrity, as the plate provides a unified structural backbone that prevents the weakness associated with overly thin designs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A display device including a plate, a first display module, a second display module, a first frame and a second frame is provided. The plate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The first display module and the second display module are disposed on the first surface and the second surface of the plate respectively. A display direction of the first display module and a display direction of the second display module are opposite to each other. The first frame is disposed on the first surface of the plate and surrounds the first display module. The first frame is for carrying the first display module. The second frame is disposed on the second surface of the plate and surrounds the second display module. The second frame is for carrying the second display module. The plate is clamped by the first frame and the second frame.
