Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If a display unit has a low profile and large screen size, then the display quality and modern aesthetics are improved, but the supporting body design becomes more challenging to maintain stability and aesthetics
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting body is divided into multiple detachable supporting units that can be independently configured. Each supporting unit can be selectively attached to different mounting sections on the display unit, allowing the system to be segmented and reconfigured based on stability requirements while supporting large, low-profile displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting units are designed to be rotatable between a first state (first plane along the placement surface) and a second state (second plane orthogonal to the first plane). This dynamic reconfigurability allows the supporting body to adapt its structural characteristics to optimize stability for different installation environments and user preferences.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the supporting body offers multiple support configurations, then user preference and installation environment adaptability are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each supporting unit is designed with universal functionality to be mounted on different mounting sections (first mounting section or second mounting section) and configured in different states (first state or second state). This multi-functionality allows a single supporting unit design to serve multiple purposes and configurations, reducing the need for multiple specialized components.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the mounting and support functions into an integrated system where the supporting units can be attached to either the first or second mounting sections. This combination of mounting options and configuration states creates versatility without requiring separate dedicated components for each function.
3Ease of operation
If the supporting units are made detachable and rotatable, then ease of operation and reconfiguration are improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting body is segmented into detachable supporting units with standardized interfaces. This segmentation allows each unit to be manufactured independently using standardization, which can simplify the overall manufacturing process despite the increased operational flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting units incorporate rotatable joints that allow transformation between different states (first state and second state) by changing the orientation parameter. This parameter-based transformation enables ease of reconfiguration without requiring complex mechanical assemblies, as the rotation mechanism can be implemented through simple hinge or pivot connections.

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.
