Light-emitting Panel Attachment Structure for Gap-free Arrangement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light-emitting panel attachment structures for organic EL panels result in gaps between adjacent panels when densely arranged, compromising the integrity and aesthetics of lighting installations.
Innovation Solution
A light-emitting panel attachment structure featuring a panel side fitting part and an attachment side fitting part that can be turned and slid to fit together, allowing for seamless integration with the installation surface without gaps, while also enabling easy attachment and detachment, and stable power supply without changing resistance values.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the support tool and holding member are located at positions facing each other across the body, then the lighting panel can be fixed to the installation surface, but gaps are formed between adjacent lighting apparatuses, deteriorating the integrity of lighting
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment side fitting part is configured to extend in the width direction rather than projecting forward, changing the attachment structure from a forward-protruding form to a lateral-extension form. This dimensional repositioning allows adjacent panels to be placed flush against each other without gaps, while the fitting part remains functional for secure attachment to the installation surface.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of having the support tool and holding member face each other across the body (creating gaps), the invention inverts the arrangement by positioning the attachment side fitting part to extend laterally along the width direction. This inverted configuration eliminates gaps between adjacent panels while maintaining the attachment function.
2Shape
If the attachment side fitting part extends in the width direction, then light-emitting panels can be arranged with no gap therebetween, but the structure complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment side fitting part serves multiple functions: it provides attachment to the installation surface, enables gap-free arrangement of adjacent panels, and maintains structural integrity. By consolidating these functions into a single lateral-extending component, the invention avoids the complexity of multiple separate mechanisms while achieving the desired arrangement integrity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the attachment side fitting part is turnably attached to the coupling part, then the orientation can be changed between parallel and intersecting, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment side fitting part is turnably attached to the coupling part, enabling dynamic orientation adjustment between parallel and intersecting positions. This dynamic capability allows the same attachment structure to adapt to different installation scenarios and panel arrangements, providing versatility without requiring multiple fixed-orientation components.

AI summary
The present invention provides a light-emitting panel attachment structure, a light-emitting panel aligned-arrangement structure, and a light-emitting panel that enable light-emitting panels to be arranged with no gap therebetween on an installation surface such as a ceiling. An attachment side fitting part is turnably attached to a coupling part. An attachment device is changeable between a parallel orientation in which the light-emitting panel is parallel to the installation surface and an intersecting orientation in which the light-emitting panel faces a direction intersecting the installation surface, along with the turn of the attachment side fitting part. When the light-emitting panel is attached to the attachment device, the attachment device is changed to or maintained in the intersecting orientation, and either the light-emitting panel or the attachment device is moved to slide parallel to an emission surface to fit a panel side fitting part with the attachment side fitting part.
