Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge in vehicle-mounted display devices is to effectively utilize limited space while providing integrated functionality for displaying information and storing personal belongings, as traditional designs often compromise on either functionality or space efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A display assembly integrating a storage box with a flexible display screen that can switch between unfolded and folded states, utilizing a reel and driving apparatus to optimize space usage, allowing for both storage and display functions in a compact, high-integration design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional display device is installed in the vehicle, then display functionality is provided, but vehicle space is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a display device with a storage box into an integrated assembly. The display device is mounted on the storage box, merging two separate functions (display and storage) into a single unit. This reduces the total volume occupied in the vehicle while maintaining both functionalities independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated assembly serves multiple purposes: the storage box provides storage capacity for personal belongings, while the mounted display device provides information display, navigation, and entertainment functions. This multi-functional design maximizes space utilization by making one assembly perform several roles that would otherwise require separate components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible display screen is used, then space flexibility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a flexible display screen that can dynamically change its state between unfolded and folded configurations. This dynamic capability allows the display to adapt to different spatial requirements within the vehicle, providing flexibility in both deployed and stowed states while managing structural complexity through controlled movement mechanisms.

AI summary
A display assembly includes a storage box and a flexible display screen. A storage groove is formed in the storage box and a side of the storage groove is open. The flexible display screen is able to be switched between an unfolded state and a folded state. In the unfolded state, the flexible display screen is unfolded and covers an open side of the storage groove, and in the folded state, the flexible display screen is folded or wound, and the open side of the storage groove is at least partially exposed.
