Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display panels with extreme curvature face challenges in heat dissipation and attachment due to the stiffness of conductive plates, which can damage thin films and lead to poor support and appearance issues when fastened to brackets.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus featuring a flexible plate with a heat-dissipating material, including a thin sheet and a rigid plate, adhered to the rear surface of a display panel, allowing for effective heat dissipation and support, even on curved surfaces, without damaging the thin film and ensuring proper attachment to brackets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If a rigid conductive plate is used for heat dissipation on a curved display panel, then heat dissipation performance is improved, but the plate cannot conform to the extreme curvature and damages thin films
Solution Approach 1:
The heat dissipation structure is divided into two segments: a flexible thin sheet that conforms to the curved surface and a rigid plate that provides heat dissipation. The flexible thin sheet is first adhered to the curved display panel, and then the rigid plate is adhered to the flexible thin sheet, allowing each segment to perform its specific function without compromising the other
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite structure combining a flexible thin sheet material and a rigid conductive plate material. This composite configuration allows the heat dissipation structure to simultaneously achieve flexibility for conforming to curved surfaces and rigidity for effective heat dissipation, while protecting the thin films on the display panel
2Strength
If a rigid conductive plate is fastened to brackets, then structural support is improved, but appearance issues occur due to poor support on curved surfaces
Solution Approach 1:
The support structure is segmented into a flexible thin sheet that contacts the curved display panel surface and a rigid plate that provides structural strength for bracket attachment. This segmentation allows the flexible portion to adapt to the curved shape for good appearance, while the rigid portion provides the necessary structural support
3Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible thin sheet alone is used for heat dissipation on curved surfaces, then conformability is improved, but heat dissipation effectiveness is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The invention combines a flexible thin sheet with a rigid conductive plate in a composite heat dissipation structure. The flexible thin sheet ensures conformability to the curved display panel surface, while the rigid conductive plate layer provides enhanced heat dissipation effectiveness, achieving both adaptability and thermal performance
