Guide Rail Coupling Layout for Distortion-Free Flexible Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices face challenges in preventing distortion of driving members, which can lead to misalignment and imbalance, especially in flexible display technologies that require precise movement and alignment.
Innovation Solution
The display device incorporates a design with a display panel, first and second main guide rails, and driving members that are selectively coupled to the guide rails. The driving members include a rod with a main coupler and auxiliary couplers, which are coupled to auxiliary guide rails, allowing for precise movement and alignment without distortion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If driving members are coupled to both main guide rails, then structural stability is improved, but distortion of driving members occurs due to misalignment and imbalance
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling system is segmented into selective couplings where each driving member is coupled to only one main guide rail rather than both. This segmentation prevents the distortion caused by attempting to maintain simultaneous alignment with multiple rails, while the overall structure remains stable through the distributed arrangement of multiple driving members on different rails.
2Manufacturing precision
If driving members are selectively coupled to one main guide rail, then distortion is prevented, but the number of coupling points is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling configuration is made dynamic and adaptable rather than fixed. Each driving member can be selectively coupled to different main guide rails depending on its position and function, allowing the system to optimize alignment precision for each individual component while maintaining overall system functionality through flexible coupling arrangements.
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional coupling methods are used, then ease of manufacture is maintained, but friction increases and driving force distribution becomes unbalanced
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling system implements local quality optimization where each driving member's coupling characteristics are tailored to its specific position and function. This allows each coupling point to be optimized for minimal friction and balanced force distribution, while the overall manufacturing process remains simple through the use of standardized coupling mechanisms that are selectively applied.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a display device, and more particularly, to a display device that can prevent distortion of driving members. A display device includes: a display panel; a first main guide rail and a second main guide rail disposed on a first side and a second side of the display panel, respectively; and a first driving member disposed between the first main guide rail and the second main guide rail. The first driving member is selectively coupled to the first main guide rail from among the first main guide rail and the second main guide rail and is not coupled to the second main guide rail.
