Integrated Back Plate with Connecting Rib for Display Module Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices have complex assembly processes due to numerous components, making the assembly of display modules inconvenient and labor-intensive.
Innovation Solution
The display module integrates a back plate with a side wall and a connecting rib, directly fixing the display screen's edge to the connecting rib, thereby reducing the need for additional frames and simplifying assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a common display device uses separate back plate, middle frame, and front frame components, then the structural support and mounting functions are achieved, but the assembly process becomes complicated and labor-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the back plate, middle frame, and front frame into a single integrated back plate structure. The back plate includes a back plate body and side walls that are integrally formed, eliminating the need for separate middle frame and front frame components. This integration directly reduces the number of parts and simplifies the assembly process while maintaining the structural support and mounting functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated back plate structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, defines the mounting space for the display screen and optical film set, and incorporates connecting ribs for fixing the display screen. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components, thereby simplifying the overall device structure and assembly process.
2Productivity
If multiple separate components are used in the display module, then each component can be optimized independently, but the assembly steps increase and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
By combining multiple components into a single integrated back plate, the patent reduces the number of assembly steps. Instead of assembling separate back plate, middle frame, and front frame components, the integrated structure is installed as one unit, significantly improving assembly efficiency and productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated back plate is segmented into functional regions: the back plate body for mounting, the side walls for structural support, and the connecting ribs for display screen fixation. This segmentation allows each region to perform its specific function while being manufactured as a single component, reducing assembly complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate back plate and middle frame are used, then manufacturing flexibility is maintained, but precise size fit coordination becomes difficult and development time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent eliminates the coordination challenges between separate back plate and middle frame by integrating them into a single structure. The integrated back plate is designed as one piece with all necessary features (mounting spaces, connecting ribs, side walls) already incorporated, eliminating the need for precise size fit coordination between multiple components and reducing development time.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrating rib and mounting structures are pre-formed as integral parts of the back plate during the molding process, rather than requiring subsequent assembly coordination. This preliminary integration of functional features simplifies the design development process and reduces the time needed for size fit coordination.
