Flexible Liquid-Crystal Screen Module Groove Bezel Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional liquid-crystal-screen modules have limited flexibility and display area due to the presence of a support structure, which restricts the ability to create a narrower bezel and prevents the use of flexible displays.
Innovation Solution
A flexible liquid-crystal-screen module design where the backlight assembly is fixed at the bottom of a groove-type middle bezel, allowing the flexible liquid-crystal display to be spaced apart, eliminating the need for a support structure and enabling a curved display surface, thereby increasing the display area and allowing for a narrower bezel appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a support structure is used to hold the backlight assembly, then the backlight assembly can be properly positioned and supported, but the display area is reduced and the bezel cannot be made narrower
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the traditional support structure (frameless design) that occupied space around the display. By extracting this unnecessary component, the display area is maximized and the bezel can be made narrower, while the backlight assembly is directly mounted to the groove-type middle bezel for structural support
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a planar assembly to a three-dimensional groove-type structure. The middle bezel features a groove that receives and secures the backlight assembly, utilizing vertical space and structural depth rather than horizontal support elements, thereby increasing display area without compromising support reliability
2Adaptability or versatility
If a rigid backlight assembly is used, then the structure is stable and easy to manufacture, but flexible and curved displays cannot be realized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical state and material properties of the display components. Flexible liquid crystal displays and flexible backlight assemblies are used instead of traditional rigid components. This parameter change enables curved and flexible display configurations while maintaining manufacturability through specialized flexible materials and simplified adhesive bonding processes
3Area of stationary object
If the backlight assembly is positioned close to the display to maximize display area, then the bezel can be narrower, but the display cannot be made flexible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the material properties of both the display and backlight assembly to flexible variants. This enables the components to be positioned close together to maximize display area while maintaining the flexibility needed for curved and flexible display configurations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses flexible adhesive tapes as intermediaries to bond the flexible backlight assembly to the flexible liquid crystal display. This intermediary component enables close positioning of components to maximize display area while maintaining the flexibility and curved configuration capability of the overall assembly
