Flexible Display Scroll Mechanism for Compact Portability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional displaying devices face challenges in providing both a large display area and compact, portable design, as they often compromise on either area or volume, failing to meet user demands for versatility and ease of carrying.
Innovation Solution
A displaying device comprising a first and second housing, a flexible screen, a supporting strip, and a telescopic rod, where the flexible screen and supporting strip are wound and unwound using scroll rolling mechanisms, allowing the device to transition between a curled and deployed state, with the telescopic rod enhancing support and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the display screen area is increased to meet user requirements for higher display area, then the display area is improved, but the device volume increases making it less portable
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is designed to be dynamically changeable between a deployed state (flat configuration for maximum display area) and a curled state (compact configuration for portability). The flexible display module can transition between these states through a scroll rolling mechanism, allowing the device to adapt its display area and volume based on usage requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
When the display screen is curled, it is wound into a compact form and stored within the housing structure. The flexible display module is nested inside the first housing when in the curled state, similar to nested dolls, allowing the large display area to be contained within a small device volume for portability.
2Volume of moving object
If the flexible screen is wound into the housing to reduce volume, then the device becomes more portable, but the screen may deform or shake during use
Solution Approach 1:
A supporting strip with flexible properties is provided to support the flexible display module. This supporting strip includes a flexible substrate that maintains the structural integrity of the display when curled, preventing deformation while allowing the compact configuration for portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting strip includes a curved support structure that matches the curvature of the curled display screen. This curved design provides continuous support along the length of the curled screen, preventing shaking and deformation while maintaining the compact curled state for portability.
3Reliability
If a supporting structure is added to prevent screen deformation, then the screen stability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting strip serves multiple functions simultaneously: it supports the flexible display module, provides structural strength, enables the curled configuration, and maintains display stability. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while achieving screen stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting strip merges the functions of structural support, display cushioning, and curvature maintenance into a single component. By combining these functions, the design avoids the complexity of multiple separate support structures while still preventing screen deformation and shaking.
