Flexible Display Device with Handheld Housing for Portability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices with large screens are cumbersome and inconvenient for carrying due to their rigid structure, which limits portability and versatility in usage.
Innovation Solution
A flexible display device comprising a flexible display panel screen and hand held parts with integrated circuit boards and a housing system that allows the screen to be unfolded for use and easily curled for storage, featuring a connection hole for electrical connection and a battery for power supply.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a large screen display device is designed with a rigid structure, then the display area is increased, but the portability and ease of carrying deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display device transitions from a static rigid structure to a dynamic flexible structure that can change its configuration between unfolded (large display area) and curled (compact portable) states, resolving the contradiction between display area and portability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs flexible display screens and flexible circuit boards that can be bent and curled without damage, enabling the device to achieve both large display area when unfolded and easy portability when curled into a compact form
2Ease of operation
If the display screen is made flexible and curlable, then the portability is improved, but the structural stability and protection of internal components deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into distinct functional modules (display screen, circuit boards, battery, housing) that can move independently, allowing the flexible display to curl for portability while internal components remain protected within their respective housings
Solution Approach 2:
Internal components such as circuit boards and battery are nested within protective housings that are integrated with the flexible display structure, providing structural stability and protection while maintaining the overall flexibility and curlability of the device
3Reliability
If hand held parts with housing bodies are added to protect circuit boards, then the reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple functions are merged into the housing structure - it serves as both a protective enclosure for circuit boards and a structural support for the flexible display, reducing the need for separate protective components and simplifying the overall device structure
