Movable Cover Plate for AOD Display Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses struggle to maintain aesthetics in indoor settings while providing various screen ratios and Always On Display (AOD) functions, as existing designs often compromise on aesthetics due to fixed designs and limited flexibility in screen ratio adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus featuring a display module with a cover plate that can be lifted or lowered by a lifting module, allowing for multiple view modes and varying screen ratios, while ensuring the AOD area remains exposed to maintain the AOD function and minimize aesthetic deterioration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If a cover plate is added to improve aesthetics, then the aesthetic appearance is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cover plate is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to transition between covering and non-covering positions. This dynamic design enables the display apparatus to switch between different display modes (full display, AOD mode, cinema mode) while maintaining aesthetic appearance when needed, resolving the contradiction between improving aesthetics and increasing device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the cover plate is made movable to enable multiple display modes, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The movable cover plate serves multiple functions: it acts as an aesthetic cover, defines display boundaries for different modes, protects the display area, and enables transition between full display, AOD, and cinema modes. This multi-functionality approach allows a single component to provide diverse capabilities without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.
3Shape
If the cover plate covers the entire display area, then the aesthetic appearance is improved, but the AOD function cannot be implemented
Solution Approach 1:
The cover plate is designed to cover only specific portions of the display area rather than the entire area. This segmentation allows the AOD region to remain exposed and functional while other areas are covered for aesthetic purposes. The cover plate can be positioned to expose different regions depending on the desired display mode, resolving the contradiction between aesthetic appearance and AOD functionality.

AI summary
A display apparatus include a display module, a cover plate, and a lifting module. The display module includes a display panel that displays an image in a display area. The display area includes an Always On Display (AOD) area. The cover plate covers a portion of the display module. The lifting module moves vertically the cover plate. At least the AOD area of the display area is not covered with the cover plate and is exposed to an outside. AOD data is displayed in the AOD area. Thus, an AOD function can be implemented.
