Modular Display Support Structure for Flexible Stand Configurations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display units with large screen sizes and low profiles require supporting bodies that can adapt to various user preferences and installation environments while maintaining aesthetic appeal and stability.
Innovation Solution
A supporting body with detachable first and second supporting units that can be rotated and rearranged to provide multiple installation states, allowing the display unit to be positioned in different attitudes and orientations, including low and high positions, inward and outward configurations, to suit user preferences and environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a display unit with large screen size and low profile is used, then the display quality and modern aesthetics are improved, but the requirements for supporting body design become more complex to maintain stability and adaptability
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting body is divided into multiple independent supporting units (first supporting unit, second supporting unit, third supporting unit) that can be selectively mounted on different mounting sections. Each supporting unit can be independently configured to provide different support modes, enabling the system to adapt to various installation environments without requiring a completely different supporting body structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting units are designed with universal functionality to perform multiple roles. The same supporting unit can be mounted on different mounting sections (first, second, or third mounting sections) and can provide different support configurations (standalone support, combined support, wall-mounted support). This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple specialized components.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple supporting units are provided for different mounting sections, then the adaptability to various installation environments is improved, but the number of components increases
Solution Approach 1:
The first, second, and third supporting units are designed as substantially the same or similar structures that can be used interchangeably on different mounting sections. This standardization allows the system to achieve multiple installation configurations without proportionally increasing the total number of components, as the same component design serves multiple functions and positions.
3Ease of operation
If the supporting units are made detachable and rotatable, then the ease of installation and reconfiguration is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting units are designed with detachable connections that allow easy attachment and detachment from mounting sections. The rotatable capability enables dynamic reconfiguration of the support orientation and angle. These dynamic features facilitate simple installation and reconfiguration operations while using standardized mechanical interfaces that do not overly complicate the overall structure.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the supporting body is designed to provide multiple installation states, then the user preference accommodation is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the supporting body into standardized, modular supporting units, the manufacturing process is simplified. Each unit can be manufactured independently using the same production processes and quality control standards, regardless of its final installation position. This modularity reduces overall manufacturing complexity compared to producing custom-integrated supporting structures for each configuration.

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.
