Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display modules face challenges in structural stability, particularly in narrow-frame designs, where the strength of the retaining wall is reduced, leading to potential tilting and deformation under the pressure of the display panel.

Innovation Solution

The display module incorporates a frame design with inserts on the retaining wall and a supporting platform that embeds the side frame between the retaining wall and the insert, enhancing structural stability by distributing forces more evenly and preventing tilting, while also optimizing the frame width and insert placement for improved manufacturing and image quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If the frame width is reduced to achieve narrow-frame design, then the aesthetic appearance and image quality are improved, but the retaining wall strength is reduced leading to tilting and deformation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe widthVSAvoidretaining wall strength
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The retaining wall is segmented into multiple sections with inserts positioned at specific locations. These inserts act as reinforcement elements that divide the load-bearing structure into multiple stronger segments, preventing tilting and deformation while maintaining a narrow frame width.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The frame structure combines different materials with complementary properties to create a composite structure. The retaining wall and inserts are made from materials with appropriate strength characteristics, creating a composite system that achieves both narrow frame width and sufficient structural strength to prevent deformation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Shape

If the retaining wall thickness is reduced to achieve narrow-frame design, then the frame width is reduced, but the structural stability deteriorates under display panel pressure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe widthVSAvoidstructural stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The retaining wall structure is segmented with inserts positioned at critical locations to divide the structural load into multiple segments. This segmentation allows the overall frame width to be reduced while maintaining structural stability through the distributed reinforcement provided by multiple inserts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The inserts are strategically positioned at specific locations on the retaining wall where structural reinforcement is most needed. This local quality approach provides targeted strength enhancement at critical stress points while maintaining a narrow frame width overall, rather than uniformly thickening the entire retaining wall.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Strength

If inserts are added to the retaining wall to enhance structural stability, then the strength and stability are improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveretaining wall strengthVSAvoidframe structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The retaining wall is segmented into modular sections with inserts positioned at specific intervals. This segmentation allows the complex reinforcement structure to be divided into simpler, standardized components that can be manufactured and assembled more easily, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The inserts serve multiple functions simultaneously: they provide structural reinforcement, act as positioning elements for the display panel, and contribute to the overall aesthetic design. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby reducing device complexity while enhancing strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
