Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current liquid crystal display modules have complex structures with many components, leading to increased assembly time and manufacturing costs, as well as higher tolerances among components.
Innovation Solution
A liquid crystal display device with a one-piece support frame that integrates a bottom wall and a main surrounding wall, featuring first and second supports to accommodate the backlight module and liquid crystal display panel respectively, reducing the number of components and simplifying the structure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If multiple separate frames (lower metal frame, plastic frame, upper metal frame) are used to support the liquid crystal display module, then the structural stability is improved, but the device complexity increases and assembly time is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate frames (lower metal frame, plastic frame, upper metal frame) into a single integrated frame structure that supports the liquid crystal display module. This merging of components reduces the total number of parts while maintaining the structural stability previously achieved through multiple separate frames.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated frame structure performs multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, positions the liquid crystal display panel, houses the backlight module, and maintains overall module stability. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate dedicated components for each function.
2Stability of the object's composition
If multiple separate frames and components are assembled to support the liquid crystal display module, then the structural integrity is maintained, but the assembly time increases
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating multiple frames into a single component, the patent reduces the number of assembly operations required. The integrated frame is installed as one piece rather than requiring sequential assembly of multiple separate frames, significantly reducing assembly time while preserving structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame structure is pre-integrated into a single component during manufacturing, performing the combination action before delivery to the assembly line. This preliminary integration eliminates the need for time-consuming on-site assembly of multiple separate frames.
3Strength
If multiple separate frames and components are used in the liquid crystal display module, then the structural support is adequate, but the manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates multiple separate frames into a single integrated frame structure, reducing the total material cost, manufacturing cost, and assembly cost. The integrated design eliminates the need for multiple fasteners, adhesives, and alignment procedures required when assembling separate frames.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated frame structure provides multiple structural supports and positioning functions within a single component, eliminating the need for multiple specialized parts. This reduces overall material costs, manufacturing costs, and inventory costs while maintaining adequate structural support.

AI summary
A liquid crystal display device includes a support frame having a bottom wall, and a main surrounding wall extending upwardly from and formed integrally as one piece with the bottom wall. The bottom wall and the surrounding wall cooperatively define a receiving space. The bottom wall includes a first support disposed in the receiving space. The main surrounding wall includes a second support disposed in the receiving space and spacedly above the first support. A backlight module is supported on the first support. A liquid crystal display panel is supported on the second support so that the liquid crystal display panel is positioned above the backlight module.
