Flexible Display Support Plates for Hidden Patterns and Impact Resistance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flexible display devices lack effective support structures that provide ease of use, visibility of support patterns, and adequate impact resistance.
Innovation Solution
A display device with first and second support plates, featuring protrusions and a flexible part inserted into grooves, along with a case structure that allows for adjustable exposure of the display module, enhancing support and impact resistance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a support structure is added under the display module, then impact resistance is improved, but visibility of support patterns may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is divided into two separate plates: a first support plate directly supporting the display module and a second support plate positioned beneath it. This segmentation allows the second support plate to be hidden from view while the first support plate provides structural support without visible patterns, resolving the contradiction between needing support structure and avoiding visible patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The first support plate acts as an intermediary element between the display module and the second support plate. It provides the necessary structural support and impact resistance while its smooth surface prevents the transmission of visible patterns to the display, thus resolving the contradiction between strength and visibility.
2Ease of operation
If the display module is made extendable, then user convenience is improved, but structural stability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is designed with flexible portions that allow dynamic adjustment and movement. The first support plate includes a flexible portion that can bend to accommodate the extension and retraction of the display module, while the second support plate remains stationary to provide stable support. This dynamic design enables user convenience through extendability while maintaining structural stability during operation.

AI summary
A display device includes a display module, a first support plate that is disposed under the display module and that includes a first part and a second part that extends from the first part, a plurality of protrusions that protrude from a lower surface of the second part, and a second support plate that is disposed under the first support plate and that includes a flat part and a flexible part that extends from the flat part, the flexible part being inserted into a plurality of grooves defined between the plurality of protrusions.
