Fixture of half mirror
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in efficiently installing and removing a half mirror from a display panel without causing deformation or obstructing the display surface, particularly when an air layer is interposed between the mirror and the display panel.
Innovation Solution
A fixture system comprising a display mount, a bridge, and an external mount that allows for detachable attachment of the half mirror to the display panel and external structure, with the bridge supporting the mirror's center of gravity and covering infrared sensors, and includes features for easy detachment and reattachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the half mirror is rigidly fixed to the display panel, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of installation and removal deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure is divided into separate components: a first fixing member attached to the display panel and a second fixing member attached to the half mirror. These segments can be independently assembled and disassembled, enabling easy installation and removal while maintaining structural stability when connected.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing members are designed with movable and adjustable characteristics, allowing the structure to transition between fixed and detached states. This dynamic design enables the half mirror to be securely fixed during use yet easily removed when needed, resolving the contradiction between stability and ease of operation.
2Area of stationary object
If the half mirror is made of a large-sized rigid transparent plate, then the spanning capability over the display surface is improved, but the risk of deformation and breakage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The large rigid half mirror is supported by multiple separate fixing members distributed across its surface rather than a single centralized support. This segmentation of the support structure reduces stress concentration points, minimizing the risk of deformation and breakage while maintaining the mirror's large spanning capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing members are designed to provide preemptive support and stress distribution across the half mirror structure. By establishing multiple support points before any deformation can occur, the system prevents breakage and deformation rather than reacting to them, thereby improving reliability without reducing the mirror's size.
3Strength
If the bridge extends outward over the outer periphery of the display panel, then the support for the half mirror is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bridge structure serves multiple functions: it provides mechanical support for the half mirror, extends the mounting area beyond the display panel periphery, and facilitates the connection between the fixing members. This multi-functionality improves support capability while avoiding the need for separate dedicated components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.

AI summary
A fixture of the half mirror provides a half mirror spanning a display surface on a front side of a display panel and an air layer interposed therebetween. The fixture includes: a display mount joining the fixture itself to a center of a back surface of the display panel; a bridge that extends from the display mount toward an outer periphery of the display panel, further extends outward over the outer periphery of the display panel, and is joined to an outer periphery of the half mirror outside the outer periphery of the display panel; and an external mount joining the fixture itself to a hook that is an external structure.
