Double-Sided Display Support Structure for Thin, Rigid Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current double-sided display devices suffer from poor rigidity and easy deformation due to the use of thin film layers and a light guide plate with a light source, leading to potential damage.
Innovation Solution
A support structure comprising a support plate and a plastic frame is integrated into the display device, with the support plate having a light transmissive region and the plastic frame connected to the display panels, enhancing structural rigidity and preventing deformation.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If thin film layers are used to reduce thickness, then the thickness of the display device is reduced, but the rigidity deteriorates and deformation becomes easy
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is segmented into a support plate and a plastic frame that work together to provide reinforcement. The support plate forms the base structure while the plastic frame provides additional rigid support at critical locations, allowing the overall device to maintain thinness while achieving sufficient rigidity through distributed structural elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite support structure combining a support plate (typically rigid material) with a plastic frame (providing flexible yet strong support). This composite approach allows the structure to achieve both thinness and rigidity by leveraging the complementary properties of different materials working together.
2Length of stationary object
If thin film layers are used to reduce thickness, then the thickness of the display device is reduced, but the device becomes prone to deformation and damage
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is pre-installed within the display device assembly to provide proactive reinforcement before deformation can occur. The rigid support plate and plastic frame are positioned in advance to prevent deformation of thin film layers during operation, rather than attempting to correct deformation after it occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The support structure acts as a preventive measure by providing structural cushioning and protection to thin film layers before they can deform or sustain damage. The rigid support plate and plastic frame create a protective framework that absorbs and distributes mechanical stresses, preventing them from concentrating on vulnerable thin film areas.
3Illumination intensity
If a light guide plate with light source is used, then backlight is provided for two display panels, but the structural rigidity remains poor
Solution Approach 1:
The support plate serves multiple functions: it provides structural reinforcement for rigidity and simultaneously acts as a mounting platform for the light guide plate and light source assembly. The plastic frame also serves dual purposes of structural support and positioning for optical components. This multi-functionality allows the structure to achieve both mechanical strength and optical functionality without adding separate reinforcement elements.

AI summary
A display device including a display module and a support structure is provided. The support structure is connected to the display module and supports the display module. The support structure includes a support plate and a plastic frame. The support plate includes a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface. The plastic frame is protrusively disposed on the first lateral surface. The plastic frame is distributed at a periphery of the light transmissive region. By disposing the support structure and connecting the support structure to the display module, a structural strength of an entire display device is improved, which is a simple structure and is convenient for assembling.
