Movable Cover Assembly for Display Shade Difference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices with speaker holes often exhibit shade differences between the cover assembly and other parts, disrupting the unity of the device and affecting user experience by distracting from the display screen or sound quality.
Innovation Solution
A cover assembly with a movable cover body featuring first and second body holes, strategically positioned to minimize shade differences and accommodate speaker placement, ensuring seamless integration and optimal viewing and sound delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-generated harmful factors
If a speaker hole is formed in the cover assembly, then sound output is enabled, but a shade difference occurs between the speaker hole area and other parts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the cover assembly translucent rather than opaque, allowing light to pass through the speaker hole area and eliminate shade differences. This transforms the local optical property of the cover material to resolve the visual discrepancy caused by the speaker hole while maintaining sound output functionality.
2Shape
If the cover assembly is made opaque, then aesthetic appearance is improved, but the speaker hole creates a visible shade difference
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the optical property of the cover assembly from opaque to translucent, allowing light transmission through the speaker hole area. This resolves the shade difference issue while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic appearance, as the translucent material allows uniform light distribution across the entire cover surface including the speaker hole region.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If the cover assembly is made translucent, then shade difference is minimized, but the cover material options are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the optical transmission parameter of the cover material from opaque to translucent. This single parameter change resolves the shade difference issue while the patent demonstrates versatility by showing that various translucent materials (PC, PMMA, PET, etc.) can be used, maintaining material option diversity within the translucent category.

AI summary
A display device is disclosed. The display device of the present disclosure comprises: a display panel; a frame to which the display panel is coupled; a speaker located adjacent to the display panel; and a cover assembly located in front of the display panel and the speaker, wherein the cover assembly comprises: a cover body which is movably coupled to the frame; and a cover which covers the front portion of the cover body. The cover body comprises: a first body hole formed through the cover body; and a second body hole which is formed through the cover body and is spaced apart from the first body hole in the direction in which the cover body moves. In addition, the speaker faces the first body hole or the second body hole.
