LCD Pivoting Mechanism for Desktop and Wall Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional LCDs require complex disassembly and additional wall hangers for wall mounting, which is costly and inconvenient for users who need to switch between desktop and wall installations.
Innovation Solution
An LCD apparatus with a pivoting mechanism between the LCD module and the supporter, allowing the LCD to rotate and be easily mounted on either a desktop or a wall without additional supporting elements, by incorporating a first pivoting portion on the LCD module and a second pivoting portion on the supporter, enabling adjustable positioning and reduced thickness with the system circuit board placement inside the supporter.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional supporting element and supporter are used for LCD mounting, then the LCD can be disposed on desk surface, but additional wall hanger is required for wall installation which increases device complexity and cost
Solution Approach 1:
The supporter is designed with a universal pivoting mechanism that enables the LCD module to be mounted in multiple positions (desktop, wall, or other surfaces) using the same supporting structure. The pivoting portion allows the LCD module to rotate and adapt to different mounting orientations without requiring additional wall hangers or disassembly, making the supporting element multi-functional for various installation scenarios.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional supporting element is disassembled for wall mounting, then wall installation becomes possible, but the disassembly process is complicated and may damage the LCD
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting element incorporates a dynamic pivoting mechanism that allows the LCD module to be easily adjusted between different mounting positions without disassembly. The pivoting portion enables smooth rotation and positioning, making the transition between desktop and wall mounting simple and safe, avoiding the complicated disassembly and potential damage associated with conventional fixed supporting structures.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional supporting element and supporter are used, then LCD can be supported, but reducing prices is difficult due to additional components needed for wall mounting
Solution Approach 1:
The supporter is designed as a universal mounting structure that eliminates the need for separate wall hangers or additional supporting elements. By integrating the pivoting mechanism directly into the supporter, the design achieves multi-position mounting capability with a single component, reducing part count, simplifying manufacturing, and lowering overall cost while maintaining adaptability for both desktop and wall installation.

AI summary
A liquid crystal display apparatus, which is in contact with a surface, includes a liquid crystal display module and a supporter. The liquid crystal display module has a display side and a back side, which is disposed opposite to the display side. The liquid crystal display module further has a first pivoting portion. The supporter is installed on the back side, and is in contact with the surface. The supporter has a second pivoting portion pivoting on the first pivoting portion of the liquid crystal display module. The liquid crystal display module rotates about an axis, and moves between a first position and a second position with respect to the supporter. A distance exists between the liquid crystal display module and the surface.
