Hinged Flat Panel Display Support With Compact Footprint
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flat panel display (FPD) supports occupy large spaces due to their base size, making them difficult to place and store, especially when the FPD needs to be adjusted for visual angle adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A compact FPD support design featuring a panel bracket with two hinge assemblies and a U-shaped supporting bracket, allowing the FPD to stand on a plane and pivot, while maintaining a lightweight and portable form factor for easy packaging and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a large base is used in conventional FPD support, then stability is improved, but space occupation increases making it difficult to place and store
Solution Approach 1:
The invention transitions from a conventional large horizontal base to a vertical standing structure with a supporting bracket that extends downward. This dimensional change allows the FPD support to achieve stability through vertical height rather than horizontal spread, significantly reducing the footprint area while maintaining stable operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting bracket is designed to be movable and adjustable, allowing it to adapt between different positions and angles. This dynamic structure enables the support to stabilize the FPD in various orientations while maintaining a compact form factor that occupies minimal space when not in use.
2Adaptability or versatility
If visual angle adjustment is added to FPD support, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention integrates the visual angle adjustment function directly into the supporting bracket structure by incorporating hinge assemblies. This merging of functions allows the same structural element to provide both support and angle adjustment, avoiding the need for separate adjustment mechanisms and thereby reducing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting bracket serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support for the FPD, enables visual angle adjustment through hinge mechanisms, and maintains a compact portable form. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional components, simplifying the overall device structure while enhancing adaptability.

AI summary
A flat panel display (FPD) support has a panel bracket being attached to an FPD, two hinge assemblies being mounted on the panel bracket and an U-shaped supporting bracket being attached to the hinge assemblies. The supporting bracket supports the FPD to allow the FPD to stand on a plane and can pivot to adjust an angle of the FPD relative to the plane with the hinge assemblies. The FPD with the FPD support shows a light, simple and portable shape, can be conveniently packaged for sell or moving and will not occupy life space while using.
