Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with flexible displays face challenges in electrically connecting external components to internal printed circuit boards due to the flexible nature of the display and guide structures, making it difficult to establish reliable electrical connections between the inside and outside of the device.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device incorporates a housing structure with a sliding mechanism that allows a second circuit board outside the cover member to be electrically connected to a first circuit board inside through a hole, enabling secure and reliable connections for external components like antennas and coils.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible display is used to enable variable screen sizes and portable design, then the device can be conveniently carried and visually provide various screens, but it becomes difficult to electrically connect external components to the internal printed circuit board through wires due to the flexible nature of the display and guide structures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wire connection system with a wireless communication system. External components (antenna, coil) communicate with the internal printed circuit board through wireless signals rather than physical wire connections, eliminating the electrical connection problem caused by the flexible display's movement and deformation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If external components (antenna, coil) are disposed outside the housing to achieve certain functions, then the device can incorporate specialized functionality, but establishing reliable electrical connections between these external components and the internal printed circuit board becomes difficult due to the flexible display structure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the complex wire connection structure by implementing wireless communication between external components and the internal printed circuit board, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining external component functionality.
