Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices often have complex structures that make manufacturing and assembly difficult, and cables are visible, creating a messy appearance.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a simple stand design featuring a pair of stands that support the display body, each with a fastening portion, vertical portion, and support portion, allowing for a floating design that hides cables and simplifies manufacturing and assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a complex stand structure is used to provide stable support, then support stability is improved, but device complexity increases and manufacturing becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesupport stabilityVSAvoidstand structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stand is divided into three distinct portions: a fastening portion for attaching to the display body, a vertical portion extending downward, and a support portion extending forward. This segmentation allows each part to be optimized independently while maintaining overall stability, resolving the contradiction between simple structure and reliable support.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Shape

If traditional stand designs are used, then support function is achieved, but cables remain visible creating a messy appearance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveappearance cleanlinessVSAvoidstand structure design
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stand structure merges multiple functions into a single integrated design: structural support, cable routing, and aesthetic presentation. The support portion extends forward to hide cables from front view, while the vertical portion provides mounting points, combining utility and appearance in one element.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of manufacture

If a simple stand design is used, then manufacturing and assembly are simplified, but support stability may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidsupport stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The fastening portion is designed with pre-configured mounting features that simplify assembly. The stand portions are configured in advance to align properly during installation, making assembly straightforward while maintaining structural integrity and support stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A display device, which comprises: a display body comprising a display module from which an image is output; and a pair of stands which support the display body and are arranged to be spaced apart in a horizontal direction, wherein the stands comprise a fastening portion to be fastened to the rear surface of the display body, a vertical portion extending downward from the fastening portion, and a supporting portion extending in a front direction from the vertical portion so as to be perpendicular to a planar direction of the display body, may implement a floating design from the front surface by using a stand with a simple design.
