Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flexible display panel support structures fail to adequately support flexible display panels when unfolded, leading to bending issues.
Innovation Solution
A flexible display device with a housing, winding shaft, flexible display panel, support member, moving members, and an adjustment mechanism using a drawstring and magnets to form a rigid plane for support, preventing bending and facilitating easy operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If a flexible display panel is unfolded for use, then the display area is increased and usability is improved, but the support structure cannot maintain the panel in a flat state causing bending issues
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is divided into multiple support bars arranged side by side, each with through holes for moving members. This segmentation allows the support structure to adapt to the flexible display panel while maintaining overall stability and preventing bending when unfolded.
Solution Approach 2:
The support member incorporates movable members that can slide within through holes of support bars. This dynamic structure allows the support to adjust and maintain a rigid plane configuration when the display is unfolded, while still permitting the flexible display to be rolled up for storage.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a rigid support structure is used to prevent bending, then panel stability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support member uses thin support bars with through holes rather than bulky rigid structures. The moving members slide within these holes to maintain panel flatness, providing the necessary stability while keeping the overall structure simple and lightweight.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the support member forms a rigid plane to prevent bending, then panel stability is improved, but the ease of rolling and storage is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The moving members can slide freely within the through holes of support bars, allowing the support structure to transition from a rigid plane configuration during use to a compressed rolled state for storage. This dynamic capability enables both panel stability during operation and ease of rolling for storage.
