Force Dispersal Member for Display Module Structural Integrity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices are prone to premature failure due to external forces concentrating on weaker or brittle spots within the display module, leading to structural damage.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a force dispersal member between the top and bottom plates of the housing, which acts as a conduit to disperse external forces, preventing concentration on the display module by transferring forces between the plates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the display module is directly contacted by the top housing or bottom housing, then the housing can support the display module, but external forces will be concentrated on the display module causing premature failure
Solution Approach 1:
A force dispersal member is introduced as an intermediary element between the housing and the display module. This member has a first end that contacts the housing and a second end that contacts the display module, thereby mediating the force transmission and preventing direct concentration of external forces on the display module's vulnerable spots.
Solution Approach 2:
The force dispersal member divides the force transmission path into segments: the housing, then the force dispersal member, then the display module. This segmentation allows the force to be distributed across multiple contact points and surfaces rather than concentrated at a single point on the display module.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the display module is sandwiched between top and bottom housing, then the display module is cooperatively positioned, but external forces are transferred to the display module causing damage
Solution Approach 1:
The force dispersal member serves as a mediator that maintains the cooperative positioning of the display module between the housing components while simultaneously protecting it from harmful force concentration. It transmits necessary positioning forces while dispersing external impact forces.
Solution Approach 2:
The force dispersal member extends in a dimensional space between the housing and display module, creating an additional layer of protection. By positioning this member to extend from the housing toward the display module, it intercepts and disperses forces before they reach the display module's vulnerable spots.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The force dispersal member effectively distributes external forces, reducing the likelihood of damage to the display module by ensuring that most of the force is conducted through the member rather than being concentrated on the module, thereby enhancing the structural integrity of the device.
Implementation Method 1
the force dispersal member may be utilized as a conduit between the top plate and the bottom plate to disperse the external force from the top plate to the bottom plate or vice versa

AI summary
A display device includes a housing, a display module, and a force dispersal member. The housing has a top plate and a bottom plate, wherein the top plate has a top plate inner surface and the bottom plate has a bottom plate inner surface. The display module is disposed on the bottom plate and at least a portion thereof is covered by the top plate. The display module includes a body and a ledge, wherein the body has a corresponding top surface and a back surface. At least a portion of the top surface faces the top plate inner surface while the back surface faces the bottom plate inner surface. The ledge extends out from an end of the body and is positioned between the top plate and the bottom plate. The force dispersal member is disposed on the ledge and has a top end and a bottom end. The top end faces the top plate inner surface and the bottom end faces the bottom plate inner surface. A vertical distance from the bottom end to the bottom plate inner surface is no greater than the vertical distance between the back surface and the bottom plate inner surface.
