LED Display Module Mounting With Tilt-Align Latch Frame
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing LED display modules face challenges in easy mounting and dismounting without interfering with adjacent modules, and require secure fastening to prevent unintentional dislodging due to environmental factors like high winds.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates a frame with translating structures that allow modules to tilt and align without contacting adjacent modules during installation, and includes securing structures like magnets and latches that ensure secure attachment to a support chassis, with additional security latches to prevent removal during adverse conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If modules are mounted in close proximity to form a continuous display, then the display quality and visual continuity are improved, but the difficulty of mounting and dismounting increases due to potential interference with adjacent modules
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into discrete, independently mountable modules that can be installed and removed separately. Each module contains its own securing structures (magnets, latches, or fasteners) that enable individual mounting operations without requiring access to or manipulation of adjacent modules, thus maintaining display continuity while simplifying installation and maintenance operations.
2Reliability
If securing structures are added to prevent unintentional dislodging, then the reliability of module attachment is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The securing function is extracted as a separate, dedicated component system independent of the display elements themselves. Magnets, latches, or fasteners are positioned on the rear or side surfaces of modules, separating the securing mechanism from the visible display face. This allows reliable attachment while maintaining a clean, simple display appearance and reducing operational complexity during normal use.
Solution Approach 2:
Securing structures are pre-positioned and pre-configured on modules during manufacturing, with magnets embedded, latches pre-assembled, or fastener holes pre-drilled. This preliminary preparation ensures that during field installation, modules can be quickly and reliably secured without requiring complex on-site assembly procedures, thus improving reliability while minimizing installation complexity.

AI summary
Display module mounting configurations and methods are disclosed. A frame for a video display module can comprise a first face configured for coupling with a light-emitting element circuit board and a second face configured for mounting to a support chassis and one or more first securing structures coupled to the second face, the one or more first securing structures being configured to mount or secure the frame to the support chassis. The frame can also include one or more security latches each comprising a latch body movable between a latched position and an unlatched position, each latch body configured to engage a first feature of the support chassis to prevent removal of the video display module when in the latched position.
