Integrated Transmissive Housing for Multi-Element Display Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices have a high number of components due to separate transmissive and partition wall parts, which increases complexity and cost.
Innovation Solution
The display device integrates the partition wall part with the transmissive part, reducing the number of components by forming them as a single unit within the housing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the transmissive part and partition wall part are separate components, then each part can be independently manufactured and assembled, but the number of components increases and manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The partition wall part is integrated into the transmissive part to form a single unified component. The transmissive part now serves dual functions: as the light-transmitting cover and as the partition wall that separates the first and second accommodating spaces. This merging eliminates the need for a separate partition wall component, reducing assembly steps and component count while maintaining the light transmission function through the transmissive material.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components are used, then assembly flexibility is improved, but manufacturing cost and assembly time increase
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the partition wall function into the transmissive part, the assembly process is simplified. The transmissive part is installed as a single component that simultaneously provides light transmission and spatial separation, eliminating the need for a separate assembly step to install a partition wall. This reduces assembly time and improves productivity while maintaining the necessary structural flexibility for housing different display elements.

Function Achieved in This Case
This configuration reduces the number of components, simplifies the manufacturing process, and enhances the stability of the circuit board fixation, while maintaining effective light transmission and display element visibility.
Implementation Method 1
a transmissive part defining an internal space in which the first light emitting part and the second light emitting part are disposed, and configured to transmit light from the internal space of the housing to outside of the housing
Implementation Method 2
a first shielding part disposed on a surface of the transmissive part, having a light transmittance smaller than a light transmittance of the transmissive part, and defining a first display element disposed in the first accommodating space

AI summary
A display device may include: a first light emitting part that emits light; a second light emitting part that emits light; and a housing. The housing may include: a transmissive part defining an internal space in which the first and second light emitting parts are disposed, and that transmits light from the space of the housing to outside the housing; a partition wall part integrally formed with the transmissive part and partitioning the space of the housing into a first accommodating space where the first light emitting part is disposed and a second accommodating space where the second light emitting part is disposed; and a first shielding part disposed on a surface of the transmissive part, having a light transmittance smaller than a light transmittance of the transmissive part, and defining a first display element in the first accommodating space and a second display element in the second accommodating space.
