Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display device frames struggle to securely fix components while accommodating size variations between the frame and display panel, leading to potential damage and increased assembly complexity.

Innovation Solution

A flexible frame body with corner frame portions and a hook assembly that coordinates with a back plate, allowing for flexible placement and secure fixation of a display panel, along with an optical film with corresponding holes for enhanced stability and assembly ease.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a rigid frame structure is used to fix components, then structural strength is improved, but adaptability to size variations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidadaptability to size variations
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The frame body is made from a flexible material that can deform elastically to accommodate size differences between the frame and display panel, while still providing structural support and protection. This flexible structure resolves the contradiction by maintaining strength while adapting to dimensional variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The frame structure is designed to change its physical parameters (shape, size) within certain limits through elastic deformation, allowing it to adapt to different display panel dimensions while maintaining its protective function. The material properties are selected to enable this parameter change without compromising structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If a flexible frame material is used, then adaptability to size variations is improved, but fixation reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to size variationsVSAvoidfixation reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is divided into multiple corner frame portions, each independently capable of deformation and fixation. This segmentation allows each corner to adapt locally while collectively providing reliable fixation through the coordinated action of all corner portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The corner frame portions are designed with curved or rounded structures that enable elastic deformation and flexible adaptation to size variations. The curved geometry allows the frame to bend and conform while maintaining structural integrity and reliable fixation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

3Reliability

If complex fixation mechanisms are used, then fixation reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixation reliabilityVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frame structure is designed to achieve fixation automatically through its own elastic deformation and geometric configuration, without requiring additional complex fixation mechanisms. The corner frame portions self-adjust and self-lock into position, simplifying the overall assembly process while maintaining reliable fixation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The fixation function is merged into the basic frame structure itself, rather than being a separate mechanism. The corner frame portions perform both structural support and fixation functions simultaneously, reducing device complexity while ensuring reliable component attachment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
