Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display support structures face challenges in efficiently supporting large arrays of electronic displays while allowing for easy assembly and disassembly, and in distributing vertical loads effectively to maintain structural integrity and compactness.
Innovation Solution
A modular frame system comprising cross members, vertical members, and internal structural support members with display mounts, designed to conform to VESA standards, which allows for the formation of a seamless display assembly that can be easily assembled and disassembled, and effectively distributes vertical loads through internal vertical members to a base assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a modular frame system is used to support large arrays of displays, then ease of assembly and disassembly is improved, but structural integrity and load distribution may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The frame system is divided into modular components including outer portions, internal vertical members, cross members, and display mounts that can be independently assembled and disassembled. This segmentation enables easy configuration changes while maintaining structural integrity through standardized connection interfaces between modules.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple functions are merged into the frame structure: the outer portion provides structural support, internal vertical members bear vertical loads, cross members provide lateral stability, and display mounts attach panels. This integration ensures that ease of assembly does not compromise structural integrity, as all components work together as a unified system.
2Force
If internal vertical members are designed as structural support members, then vertical load distribution is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The internal vertical members serve multiple functions: they are structural support members that bear vertical loads from display panels and upper frames, provide mounting surfaces for display panels through attached mounts, and contribute to the overall rigidity of the modular frame system. This multi-functionality improves load distribution without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame structure employs different member types in specific locations: internal vertical members are positioned where vertical load support is needed, cross members are placed for lateral stability, and display mounts are located at panel attachment points. This localized optimization ensures efficient load distribution while minimizing unnecessary structural complexity.
3Weight of stationary object
If the frame structure is made compact and lightweight, then ease of assembly and portability is improved, but load-bearing capacity may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The modular frame system allows dynamic configuration where components can be added or removed based on specific application requirements. The lightweight design uses minimal necessary material in each module, while the overall load-bearing capacity is achieved through the cumulative effect of multiple interconnected modules rather than over-engineering individual components.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame members appear to use composite or optimized material construction that provides high strength-to-weight ratio. This enables the structure to be compact and lightweight while maintaining sufficient load-bearing capacity to support display panels and upper frames through the distributed modular architecture.

AI summary
Display panel frames configured and dimensioned to support display panels and also attach to adjacent display panel frames in a modular fashion to form a larger display assembly. In some examples, the display panel frames include one or more structural members configured to support a load on the frame, wherein the structural members also have at least one display panel mount for attaching a display panel to the frame. In some examples, the frames are configured to support display panels having mounting interface points conforming with a Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) interface standard.
