Solution Overview

Problem

Current display apparatuses face challenges in achieving high brightness, high resolution, and low power consumption, particularly in the use of liquid crystal and OLED panels, with a need for more efficient and durable alternatives like inorganic LED panels.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus is designed with a chassis and display panels featuring a substrate with inorganic light emitting elements, where the panels are mounted using a bracket and adhesive member on a base plate with alignment marks for precise positioning, allowing for efficient assembly and easy replacement of defective panels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If liquid crystal or OLED panels are used to achieve high brightness and resolution, then image quality is improved, but power consumption increases and durability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from organic light-emitting materials (OLED) and liquid crystal to inorganic LED materials, fundamentally changing the light emission mechanism from organic electroluminescence to inorganic electroluminescence. This parameter change in material composition enables higher brightness efficiency and lower power consumption simultaneously, as inorganic LEDs convert electrical energy to light more efficiently than organic materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Illumination intensity

If liquid crystal or OLED panels are used to achieve high brightness and resolution, then image quality is improved, but durability and lifespan decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoiddurability
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from organic compounds (OLED) to inorganic semiconductor materials (LED). Inorganic materials inherently possess superior stability, resistance to degradation, and longer operational lifespan compared to organic materials, thus resolving the durability issue while maintaining high brightness performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Length of stationary object

If display panels are mounted directly to chassis without intermediate structures, then thickness is reduced and assembly is simplified, but mounting precision and alignment difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethicknessVSAvoidmounting precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a bracket as an intermediary component between the display panel and chassis. This bracket serves as a mediator that provides precise positioning features and mounting interfaces, enabling accurate alignment and secure attachment while maintaining a thin overall profile. The bracket resolves the conflict by adding a thin intermediate structure that enhances precision without significantly increasing thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Device complexity

If display panels are mounted directly to chassis without intermediate structures, then assembly complexity is reduced, but ease of repair and panel replacement worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly complexityVSAvoidpanel replacement
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the mounting system into distinct modular components: display panel, bracket, and chassis. This segmentation allows the bracket to serve as a reusable mounting infrastructure while enabling independent replacement of display panels. The modular design simplifies repair processes as panels can be detached and replaced without replacing the entire assembly, improving ease of repair while maintaining reasonable assembly complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
