Flat Panel Display Stand with Rearward Support Member
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flat panel displays face instability issues due to the length and design of their stands, which can lead to instability and require larger or heavier stands to maintain balance.
Innovation Solution
A flat panel display design featuring a supporting member that protrudes upward from the stand, shifting the center of gravity rearward and improving stability by directly connecting the stand and supporting member with a metal sheet, reducing the number of parts and manufacturing costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of moving object
If the stand length in back and forth is shortened, then the compactness of the display is improved, but the stability of the display deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting member extends rearward beyond the stand's front surface, creating a counterbalancing structure that shifts the center of gravity rearward. This counterweight effect compensates for the shortened stand length, maintaining stability while achieving compactness.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of increasing stand length in the front-back direction, the solution extends the supporting member in the rearward direction beyond the stand, utilizing the rearward space dimension. This dimensional approach provides stability without increasing the overall front-back footprint.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a complex support structure with multiple parts is used, then the stability of the display is improved, but the manufacturing cost and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting member integrates multiple functions into a single component: it supports the display panel, extends rearward for stability, and connects to the stand. This merging eliminates the need for separate metal sheets and resin covers, reducing part count while maintaining structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting member serves multiple purposes simultaneously: structural support, center of gravity adjustment, and connection element between the stand and display panel. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components.

AI summary
The present invention discloses a flat panel display includes a main body having a cabinet that forms a display window on a front side and a display panel contained in the cabinet, a stand located beneath said main body, and a supporting member that is fixed with said stand and supports said main body by fixing a back of said display panel at a position above said stand. The supporting member has a stand fixation part that is fixed with said stand. The supporting member has a back fixation portion to fix the back of said display panel at a position above said stand fixation part. The supporting member is formed to protrude upward from said stand and shift a center of gravity of said display panel rearward.
