Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices typically have a single display region on a front surface panel supported by a frame, limiting their functionality and versatility.
Innovation Solution
A display device with multiple display units on a front surface panel, supported by a main frame and separate frames for each unit, allowing for a plurality of display regions with compact assembly through coupling members and housing cases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single display region is used on the front surface panel, then the device structure is simple, but the functionality and versatility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The front surface panel is divided into multiple display regions, each corresponding to a separate display unit. This segmentation allows the device to provide multiple functions (e.g., main display, sub-display, notification area) while maintaining a structured and organized layout, thus improving versatility without creating a chaotic structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame structure is designed to support multiple display units with different functions. Each display unit can serve different purposes (e.g., primary information display, secondary controls, notifications), and the common frame provides a unified support structure that accommodates this multi-functionality efficiently.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display units are disposed at different positions on the back of the front surface panel, then multiple display regions are achieved, but the assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple display units are merged into a single assembly structure by fixing them to a common frame. This combining approach allows the display units to be positioned at different locations on the front surface panel while being supported by a unified frame structure, thereby achieving multiple display regions without proportionally increasing assembly complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame acts as an intermediary structure that connects and supports multiple display units. By introducing this intermediate support element, the display units can be easily positioned and fixed at different locations without requiring complex direct mounting arrangements, thus simplifying the overall assembly process.
3Manufacturing precision
If separate frames are used for each display unit, then precise positioning is achieved, but the number of components increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of using completely separate frames for each display unit, the invention merges multiple display units onto a common frame structure. This reduces the total number of frame components while still providing precise positioning capabilities through the unified frame design that incorporates specific mounting positions and alignment features.
