Wall-Mounted Flexible Display with Curved Bending Section
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flexible displays face challenges in stable and convenient wall-mounted installation, often risking damage due to complex installation processes, and lack integration of speakers and auxiliary displays for various functions and mood lighting.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted flexible display with a bending section that hooks onto a support bar fixed to the wall, featuring speakers separated from the display panel and an auxiliary display at the bending section for displaying functions and mood lighting, utilizing curved surfaces with different curvatures for stable fastening and electrical connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a wall-mounted bracket is used for installation, then the display can be mounted on a wall, but the installation process becomes complex and may cause damage to the flexible display
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel is segmented into a main display area and a bending section with curved surfaces. The bending section is specifically designed to interface with the support bar, separating the mounting function from the display function. This segmentation allows the flexible display to be mounted without complex brackets by using the bending section as a dedicated interface component.
Solution Approach 2:
The bending section incorporates curved surfaces with different curvatures that correspond to the support bar geometry. The first curved surface has a first curvature and the second curved surface has a second curvature, allowing the bending section to conform to and securely attach to the support bar through shape matching, eliminating the need for complex mounting brackets.
2Adaptability or versatility
If speakers are integrated into the display panel, then the display functions are combined, but the speaker arrangement flexibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The speakers are extracted from the display panel and placed on the support bar separately. This extraction allows the speakers to be arranged independently on the support bar structure, providing flexibility in speaker positioning and configuration without being constrained by the display panel dimensions or internal layout.
3Ease of operation
If the flexible display is made very thin and light to maintain flexibility, then bendability is improved, but stable installation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel extends in a third dimension by incorporating a bending section with curved surfaces that protrude or extend beyond the main display area. This dimensional extension provides a dedicated interface structure that can mechanically engage with the support bar, giving the thin and light flexible display stable mounting capability without compromising its flexibility.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a wall mounting-type flexible display, which can be mounted on a wall, the display comprising: a display panel having a bending portion having a bent peripheral area; a support bar for supporting the display panel by being in contact with the bending portion; and a bracket coupled to the support bar and fixed to a wall surface, wherein the bending portion of the display panel comprises at least two curved surfaces having at least one inflection point, and the first and second curved surfaces, which are adjacent to each other about the inflection point, may have different curvatures. The first curved surface is directly adjacent to the end portion of the display panel, the second curved surface is adjacent to the first curved surface while being spaced from the end portion of the display panel, and the curvature of the first curved surface may be larger than the curvature of the second curved surface.
