Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flexible display screen technologies require complex and cumbersome manual operation for expansion and folding, complicating manufacturing and maintenance, and reducing the robustness of the driving mechanism.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a simple and robust driving mechanism, utilizing a first driving component connected to a telescopic part that pushes or pulls a slider to automatically expand or contract the flexible display screen, allowing the third display region to move from the back to the front surface, and vice versa, without manual user operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is used for expanding and folding the display screen, then the structure can be simple, but user convenience deteriorates due to requiring manual operation
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen system performs its own expansion and folding operations automatically through the driving component, eliminating the need for manual user operation. The system serves itself by detecting the need for expansion/folding and executing the mechanical transformation autonomously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operation with an automated driving component that uses mechanical forces (pushing and pulling) to transform the display screen between expanded and folded states, substituting human mechanical action with an automated mechanical system.
2Extent of automation
If complex support or casing mechanisms are implemented for automatic expansion, then automation improves, but manufacturing complexity and maintenance difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple regions (first, second, and third display regions) that can move independently relative to each other. This segmentation allows the automated expansion mechanism to work with smaller, more manageable sections rather than moving the entire screen assembly, simplifying manufacturing.
Solution Approach 2:
The driving component serves multiple functions: it pushes the slider to expand the screen, pulls the slider to fold the screen, and integrates with the telescopic part to provide both driving force and structural support. This multi-functionality reduces the number of separate components needed, simplifying manufacturing and maintenance.
3Extent of automation
If complex support or casing mechanisms are implemented for automatic expansion, then automation improves, but the robustness of the driving mechanism decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The driving component is merged with the telescopic part to form an integrated driving assembly. This merging consolidates the driving function into a single robust mechanism rather than distributing it across multiple separate components, thereby improving reliability and robustness of the automated expansion system.
Solution Approach 2:
The slider acts as an intermediary component between the driving component and the third display region. It transfers the pushing and pulling forces from the driving mechanism to the display screen, providing a simple yet reliable mechanical interface that enhances the robustness of the overall system.
