Infrared Touch Screen Bezel Functional Assembly Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Infrared touch screens with functional assemblies, such as camera assemblies, require a wider frame to accommodate the assembly, which conflicts with the user's desire for a narrow frame design.
Innovation Solution
The infrared touch screen bezel features a frame design with a gap between two infrared base panels, allowing the functional assembly to be positioned within this gap, connected via flexible circuit boards, which reduces the additional width required without compromising the infrared touch function, maintaining a narrow frame width with an increase of only 1.5-6 mm.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a functional assembly is installed on the infrared touch screen, then the functional assembly can be integrated into the display terminal, but the frame width increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from mounting the functional assembly in the traditional horizontal direction (which increases frame width) to a vertical arrangement where the functional assembly is positioned above or below the infrared base panel. This dimensional change allows the assembly to be integrated without significantly increasing the horizontal frame width, thereby resolving the contradiction between functional integration and narrow frame design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the infrared touch screen structure into separate modular components: the infrared base panel, the functional assembly, and the mounting structure. This segmentation allows the functional assembly to be independently positioned and mounted without requiring increased frame width, as each component can be optimized and arranged vertically to maintain the narrow frame profile.
2Volume of moving object
If the frame width is increased to accommodate the functional assembly, then the assembly has sufficient space, but the aesthetic design and full-screen display are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the vertical dimension to accommodate the functional assembly by positioning it above or below the infrared base panel, rather than expanding the horizontal frame width. This dimensional approach provides sufficient space for the assembly while maintaining a narrow horizontal frame profile, thus preserving the aesthetic design and full-screen display appearance.
Solution Approach 2:
The functional assembly is nested within the vertical profile of the display terminal, positioned above or below the infrared base panel within the existing frame structure. This nesting approach allows the assembly to be accommodated without increasing the overall horizontal footprint, maintaining the narrow frame shape while providing necessary space for the functional components.

AI summary
Disclosed are an infrared touch screen bezel for installing a functional assembly and a display terminal including the same. The infrared touch screen bezel (10) includes a frame body (11), a first infrared touch panel (12), and a second infrared touch panel (13); the first infrared touch panel (12) and the second infrared touch panel (13) are both arranged in a cavity (101) of the frame body (11), and a functional assembly (30) is arranged in a gap between the first infrared touch panel (12) and the second infrared touch panel (13); the first infrared touch panel (12) and the second infrared touch panel (13) are electrically connected through a first flexible circuit board (14). The above-mentioned infrared touch screen bezel (10) may greatly reduce the width of the frame required to install a functional assembly without affecting the infrared touch function, so that the infrared touch screen bezel for installing a functional assembly may have a narrow width.
