Movable Panel Support for Thin Display Light Leakage Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional flat panel display devices face limitations in minimizing thickness and enhancing design aesthetics due to the necessity of case and set cover elements, which also lead to light leakage issues when these elements are removed.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus design that eliminates the need for certain case and set cover members by using a panel supporting member, adhesive member, guide frame, and cover member configuration, allowing the panel supporting member to move in multiple axes and preventing light leakage, while minimizing thickness and enhancing design aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If case and set cover members are removed to minimize thickness, then the thickness is reduced and design aesthetics are enhanced, but light leakage occurs due to panel non-movement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the panel supporting member movable rather than fixed. The support member can move in multiple axes (X, Y, Z) within the guide frame, allowing it to dynamically adjust and maintain contact with the display panel during thermal expansion or movement, thereby preventing light leakage without requiring additional covering members that would increase thickness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the panel supporting member as an intermediary element between the guide frame and the display panel. This support member mediates the connection by providing both structural support and movement accommodation, enabling the system to achieve both thinness and light leakage prevention through its dual functionality rather than requiring separate components.
2Reliability
If traditional case structures are used to ensure stability, then reliability is improved, but thickness increases and design flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the traditional case structure into separate functional components: the guide frame provides structural stability and positioning, while the movable panel supporting member provides support and movement accommodation. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, achieving structural reliability without the thickness penalty of a monolithic case structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide frame and panel supporting member combination serves multiple functions simultaneously: structural support, positioning, movement accommodation, and light leakage prevention. This multi-functionality replaces the need for multiple separate traditional case components, reducing overall thickness while maintaining structural stability.

AI summary
Disclosed is a display apparatus which does not use some elements of cases and set cover members necessary for producing the display apparatus and thus can minimize a thickness and enhance a sense of beauty with an innovative design. The display apparatus includes a display panel, a panel supporting member, an adhesive member, a guide frame, and a cover member. The panel supporting member supports a rear edge of the display panel. The adhesive member is disposed at one side of the panel supporting member, and couples the display panel and the panel supporting member. The guide frame supports the panel supporting member. The cover member is disposed to overlap with the other side of the panel supporting member and surround a side surface of the guide frame, thereby enabling movement of the panel supporting member.
