Frusto-Rectangular Pyramid Display Housing for Mechanical Integrity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large LCD modules face mechanical integrity issues and limited space for electronic components due to their size, making it challenging to create slim displays with stable structures.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a structural housing with a frusto rectangular pyramid-shaped upper and lower container section, where the upper section pyramidically clamps over the lower section, providing a secure mechanical lock and allowing for a slim profile while maintaining stability and accommodating larger electronic components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the LCD module is made larger to provide a larger display area, then the display area increases, but the mechanical stress on the structural housing increases and the structural integrity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The structural housing is divided into multiple sections (first structural housing section, second structural housing section, third structural housing section) that are coupled together. This segmentation allows each section to bear and distribute mechanical stress more effectively, maintaining structural integrity while supporting larger display areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The container housing is nested within the structural housing, creating a layered structure where the container housing provides additional structural support and stress distribution. This nested arrangement enhances the overall mechanical strength without increasing the external dimensions excessively.
2Area of stationary object
If the LCD module is made larger to provide a larger display area, then the display area increases, but the available space for electronic driving elements decreases due to the slim profile requirement
Solution Approach 1:
The structural housing is designed with three distinct sections extending in different directions (first section in first direction, second section in second direction, third section in third direction). This multi-dimensional arrangement creates efficient use of internal volume, providing adequate space for electronic driving elements while maintaining a slim overall profile and large display area.
3Length of moving object
If the structural housing is made thinner to achieve a slim profile, then the slimness increases, but the mechanical stability and ability to hold sub-assemblies deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The structural housing is segmented into multiple sections that are coupled together, with each section providing localized structural support. This segmentation maintains mechanical stability even when the overall thickness is reduced, as each section can be optimized for its specific structural role.
Solution Approach 2:
The container housing is nested within the structural housing, creating a reinforced structure where the inner container provides additional structural support. This nested design enhances mechanical stability while maintaining a slim external profile.

AI summary
A display device is held together by an upper container section and a lower container section joined together, where the upper and lower container sections interlock with one another by virtue of, for example, each having a shape corresponding to that of a frusto rectangular pyramid shell and the upper container section wrapping over and about the lower container section such that they cannot be readily separated.
