Flexible Display Screen Automatic Expansion Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Flexible display screens in mobile terminals require manual expansion and contraction, leading to poor user experience due to the need for user-operated manual operations.
Innovation Solution
The integration of driving assemblies and telescopic components within the mobile terminal allows for automatic expansion and contraction of the flexible display screen by pushing or pulling side housings, eliminating the need for manual operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual expansion and contraction operations are required for flexible display screens, then device complexity is reduced, but user experience deteriorates due to poor convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs screen expansion and contraction automatically without requiring user manual operations. The driving assemblies and telescopic components work autonomously to adjust the flexible display screen based on control signals, eliminating the need for manual intervention and significantly improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a dynamic screen size adjustment mechanism where the flexible display screen can automatically expand and contract along the longitudinal direction. The telescopic components enable the screen to transition between different display states (expanded, contracted, half-expanded) dynamically, providing adaptability to different usage scenarios.
2Ease of operation
If automatic expansion and contraction is implemented using driving assemblies and telescopic components, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into integrated assemblies. The driving assemblies are integrated with the telescopic components, which in turn are connected to the flexible display screen. This merging of components achieves automatic screen adjustment while managing the complexity through functional integration rather than separate independent systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The telescopic components serve multiple purposes: they support the flexible display screen, enable automatic expansion and contraction, and provide structural connection between the driving assemblies and the screen. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional dedicated components, helping to manage overall device complexity.
3Reliability
If flexible display screen is used to improve portability, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to risk of screen damage from excessive displacement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a limiting mechanism that prevents excessive displacement of the flexible display screen before damage can occur. The telescopic components are designed with built-in limits that stop the expansion and contraction movements at safe boundaries, proactively protecting the screen from over-stretching or over-compression that could cause damage.
Solution Approach 2:
The telescopic components include cushioning or damping mechanisms that soften the stopping action at the limits of expansion and contraction. This prevents sudden impacts or harsh movements that could damage the flexible display screen, providing protective cushioning before any potential damage occurs.
