Honeycomb Supporting Layer for Flexible Screen Impact Dispersion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Flexible screen devices suffer from stress concentration and damage when subjected to external impacts, leading to display malfunctions such as black or bright spots due to the concentration of impact stress.
Innovation Solution
A supporting layer with hollowed-out areas is attached to the flexible screen device to disperse and buffer the impact force, preventing stress concentration and potential damage by distributing the force across multiple directions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a flexible screen device is subjected to external impact force, then the device structure is simple, but stress concentration occurs causing damage to display components
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting layer is designed with a honeycomb structure containing multiple hollowed-out areas (through-holes) that allow impact force to pass through and disperse. This porous configuration enables the structure to absorb and distribute impact energy, preventing stress concentration at any single point on the flexible screen device.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting layer is divided into multiple hollowed-out areas distributed across its surface, creating segmented voids that independently contribute to impact dispersion. Each hollowed-out area acts as an independent stress-relief zone, collectively providing comprehensive protection against impact forces.
2Reliability
If a supporting layer with hollowed-out areas is added to disperse impact force, then damage resistance is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting layer serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical support to the flexible screen device, acts as an impact-dispersing structure through its hollowed-out areas, and maintains a relatively simple single-layer configuration. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional protective components, thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The honeycomb structure with hollowed-out areas provides effective impact protection while maintaining a lightweight and relatively simple geometric pattern. The regular hexagonal arrangement of voids creates an efficient load-bearing structure that requires minimal material while maximizing impact dispersion capability.
