Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
As display units increase in screen size and decrease in thickness, there is a desire for supporting bodies that can adapt to various user preferences and installation environments while maintaining aesthetics and stability.
Innovation Solution
A supporting body and display apparatus that allows for multiple installation states through the use of interchangeable and symmetrical supporting units, enabling flexible positioning and orientation of the display unit to accommodate different environments and preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If a liquid crystal display device is made thinner, then the overall device thickness is reduced, but the support member becomes a significant portion of the thickness and limits further thinning
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is divided into a first support member and a second support member that are coupled together. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and facilitates easier assembly and adjustment, resolving the contradiction between thinning the display device and managing the complexity of the support structure.
2Device complexity
If the support member structure is simplified to reduce device complexity, then manufacturing becomes easier, but the ability to adjust for panel curvature and display quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support member incorporates an adjustment mechanism that enables dynamic modification of the distance between the first and second support members. This dynamic capability allows the support structure to adapt to different panel curvatures and achieve optimal display flatness, resolving the contradiction between simplified structure and manufacturing precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The distance between the first support member and the second support member can be changed to adjust for panel curvature. By varying this parameter, the system can compensate for manufacturing variations and achieve the desired display quality without requiring extremely complex fixed structures.
3Temperature
If the distance between support members is increased to improve cooling, then heat dissipation is enhanced, but the structural stability and alignment precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Dividing the support function into multiple segmented components (first support member, second support member, and adjustment mechanism) allows the system to achieve both adequate spacing for heat dissipation and precise alignment through the adjustable coupling mechanism.

AI summary
A supporting body is provided that is able to select a form of support to a display unit in accordance with a user's purpose or preference, an installation environment, or the like. The supporting body supports a display unit including a display section, a first mounting section, and a second mounting section to cause the display unit to stand on a placement surface in a first direction. The display section has a display surface that spreads in each of the first direction and a second direction, and the first mounting section and the second mounting section are disposed side by side in the first direction. The supporting body includes a first supporting unit that is formed detachably on the first mounting section, and a second supporting unit that is formed detachably on the second mounting section. The first supporting unit and the second supporting unit are respectively mountable on the first mounting section and the second mounting section in a first state and a second state in which at least a portion of the first supporting unit and at least a portion of the second supporting unit are rotated in a first plane along the placement surface from the first state.
