Floating Display Panel Mounting Frame Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flat-panel image display devices have limited flexibility in pattern and color variations, as the front panel and bracket are fixedly connected, restricting user choice and creating a uniform appearance.
Innovation Solution
An image display device with a mounting frame having a transparent outer portion and an opaque inner portion, allowing the display panel to be mounted in a 'floating' condition, and a cover frame that can be easily changed to provide various pattern and color options, creating a clear portion for visual effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the front panel and bracket are fixedly connected, then structural stability is improved, but design flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting frame is divided into two distinct parts: a bracket portion and a front panel portion. These segments are connected through a fastening mechanism that allows both fixed connection for stability and detachment for design flexibility. The bracket includes a holding member that can securely hold the front panel while allowing for easy attachment and detachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between the bracket and front panel transitions from a static fixed connection to a dynamic adjustable connection. The fastening mechanism enables the front panel to be attached, detached, and reattached, allowing users to change design configurations. This dynamic capability provides both structural stability when attached and design flexibility when detached or reconfigured.
2Illumination intensity
If the front panel is made transparent to create a floating effect, then visual perception is improved, but structural strength deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The front panel utilizes transparent or translucent materials that provide both the desired visual effect and adequate structural strength. The mounting frame structure, with its bracket and fastening mechanisms, provides additional structural support to compensate for the reduced strength of transparent materials. This composite approach combines transparent panel materials with a supportive frame structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting frame acts as an intermediary structure between the display panel and the mounting surface. It provides the necessary structural strength and support while allowing the front panel to maintain its transparent appearance. The frame's holding members and fastening mechanisms distribute mechanical loads, protecting the transparent panel from excessive stress.

AI summary
Disclosed herein is an image display device including a display panel having a flat display surface; a mounting frame having an opening for mounting the display panel in the condition that the display surface is exposed to the opening, the mounting frame having an outer transparent portion and an inner opaque portion; and a cover frame for covering at least the boundary between the transparent portion and the opaque portion of the mounting frame. At least a part of the transparent portion of the mounting frame is opposed to at least a part of the periphery of the display panel, thereby forming a clear portion allowing the vision to the rear side of the display panel.
