Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies, such as liquid crystal panels and OLED panels, face issues like slow response time, high power consumption, difficulty in compact design, and screen burn-in, while micro-LED panels offer better contrast, response times, and energy efficiency but require improved structural support and assembly methods.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus comprising a frame with a frame panel and insert portion, studs, and brackets that support multiple display modules in an M*N matrix, allowing for detachable coupling and efficient heat dissipation, along with a manufacturing method that includes forming insert portions and attaching reinforcing members for enhanced structural integrity and heat management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If micro-LED panels are used to replace OLED panels, then luminance, resolution, power consumption, and durability are improved, but structural support and assembly methods require improvement

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovedurabilityVSAvoidassembly complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display apparatus is divided into multiple display modules arranged in an M*N matrix, with each module independently mounted on the frame. This segmentation allows for simplified assembly and replacement of individual modules while maintaining overall system reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The frame is pre-designed with insert portions and coupling structures before the display modules are installed. This preliminary preparation of the mounting structure simplifies the assembly process and ensures proper structural support for the micro-LED panels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If display modules are arranged in an M*N matrix on the frame, then various resolutions and screen sizes can be manufactured according to customer order, but the frame structure requires enhanced support

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen size flexibilityVSAvoidframe strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The frame panel includes openings of different sizes at different locations to accommodate various display module configurations. The asymmetric arrangement of openings and support structures allows the same frame design to adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions while maintaining structural integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

Solution Approach 2:

The frame incorporates local reinforcement at specific positions where display modules are mounted, with varying thickness and material properties in different regions. This localized strengthening provides enhanced support where needed while keeping the overall frame lightweight and adaptable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Use of energy by moving object

If inorganic light emitting devices are mounted on substrates, then self-light emission and energy efficiency are achieved, but heat dissipation requires improved management

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy efficiencyVSAvoidheat dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The heat dissipation function is extracted from the display module itself and transferred to a dedicated heat dissipation structure integrated into the frame. This separation allows the micro-LED panels to operate efficiently while the frame's thermal management system handles the heat dissipation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

A heat dissipation intermediary structure is introduced between the display modules and the frame, facilitating thermal transfer from the high-energy micro-LED devices to the frame's heat dissipation pathways. This intermediary layer improves thermal management while maintaining the energy efficiency benefits of inorganic LEDs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
