Flexible Display Panel Lifting for Stable Variable Areas
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack the ability to efficiently and stably change the display area based on user needs, with limited flexibility and exposure of the display panel.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a lifting part that includes a motor, a movable unit, and a panel connection block to expand and retract the display panel, utilizing a sliding structure and belt mechanism for stable support and expansion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the display panel is made flexible and slidable to expand display area, then the display area can be increased, but the panel may sag or become unstable during movement
Solution Approach 1:
The lifting part is divided into multiple components: a fixing unit attached to the housing, a movable unit that can move vertically, and a panel connection block that connects to the display panel. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall stability during panel movement.
Solution Approach 2:
The belt acts as an intermediary element between the movable unit and the panel connection block. It transmits the lifting force smoothly while allowing controlled movement, preventing direct rigid connections that would cause sagging or instability.
2Productivity
If a motor is added to enable automatic panel movement, then the display area can be changed efficiently, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The motor is integrated directly into the movable unit, merging the driving mechanism with the lifting structure. This consolidation reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the overall device architecture while maintaining efficient automatic panel movement capability.
3Area of moving object
If the display panel is extended in a predetermined direction to increase variable area, then the display area expands, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The lifting part is designed as a dynamic mechanism that can move vertically along the housing. The movable unit with motor provides controlled movement, allowing the display panel to be extended or retracted smoothly without requiring complex static structural modifications.
