Modular LED Tile Structure for Continuous Corner Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing modular construction systems face challenges in forming corners with integrated LED screens, particularly in creating the illusion of a continuous LED screen over multiple surfaces, including corners, without compromising modularity and interchangeability.
Innovation Solution
A tile element with a chassis featuring a base body with a visible side covered substantially wholly with an LED screen, where the first connecting sides extend at an angle relative to the visible side, and edge bodies that can be connected to form a second connecting side perpendicular to the visible side, allowing for flexible formation of corners and surfaces.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If LED screens are integrated over multiple surfaces including corners to create a continuous visual effect, then the visual uniformity and continuity of the LED screen is improved, but the complexity of forming corners and assembling the modular construction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The tile element is divided into a base body containing the LED screen and separate edge bodies that can be attached to form corners. This segmentation allows the LED screen to extend continuously over corner surfaces while keeping the corner-forming components separate and modular, thus reducing assembly complexity while maintaining visual continuity.
Solution Approach 2:
Edge bodies serve as intermediary components between the base bodies of adjacent tile elements. These edge bodies provide connecting sides that extend perpendicular to the visible side, enabling the formation of corners and angled surfaces while maintaining the modularity and interchangeability of the base elements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the base body includes connecting sides extending at an angle to enable corner formation, then the versatility of the modular construction is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The angle-forming functionality is segmented into separate edge bodies rather than being integrated into the base body. This allows the base body to maintain simple rectangular geometry with standard manufacturing tolerances, while the edge bodies provide the angular connections needed for corner formation, thus reducing overall manufacturing precision requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The edge bodies serve multiple functions: they provide the angular connecting sides for corner formation, they connect to the first connecting sides of adjacent base bodies, and they enable the tile element to be used in both straight and angled configurations. This multi-functionality increases versatility without complicating the base body manufacturing.
3Ease of operation
If edge bodies are made detachable to maintain modularity and interchangeability, then the ease of assembly and disassembly is improved, but the stability of the corner connection decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is designed to be dynamic rather than fixed - edge bodies can be attached and detached from base bodies as needed. This allows the construction to be easily assembled and disassembled while maintaining stability during use through secure mechanical connections between the edge bodies and base bodies via the first and second connecting sides.
