Multi-Panel Display with Central Control Circuit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing single-terminal devices, such as mobile phones, face interference and control errors when trying to separate work and life modes, leading to reduced user experience and increased complexity.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus comprising multiple flexible OLED display panels, a mounting frame with a side ridge for flipping, and a central control circuit that allows independent control of each panel's display state, enabling multiple modes like work, family, and entertainment without interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple different systems are implemented in one mobile phone to separate work and life, then work-life separation is achieved, but system interference and control errors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into multiple independent display regions (first display region, second display region, third display region) that can be independently controlled. Each region can function as a separate system for different purposes (work, entertainment, information), achieving work-life separation while maintaining independent control to avoid system interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single display plane to a multi-region display architecture where different regions can operate independently. This dimensional expansion allows multiple functional systems to coexist without interference, as each region operates in its own controlled space within the overall display structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display panels are added to provide multiple functions, then functionality increases, but device weight increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple display regions are integrated into a single display device structure, sharing common components such as the side ridge, mounting frame, and control circuits. This merging approach provides multiple functions while avoiding the weight penalty of completely separate devices, as the functional regions share the physical infrastructure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display panels are integrated into one device, then multi-functionality is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display device incorporates multiple display regions that can serve different functions (work, entertainment, information display) within a single unified system. The control circuit is designed to manage all regions through a universal control architecture, reducing the need for separate control systems for each function and thereby managing complexity while providing multi-functionality.

AI summary
A display apparatus includes a plurality of display panels, a mounting frame, and a central control circuit. The mounting frame includes a side ridge electrically coupled to each of the plurality of display panels. The central control circuit is arranged inside the side ridge. The plurality of display panels are arranged such that a side edge of each of the plurality of display panels is attached to the side ridge to thereby allow the each of the plurality of display panels to be flipped open or close along the side ridge. The central control circuit is electrically coupled to each of the plurality of display panels, and is configured to control a display state of each of the plurality of display panels upon receiving a control signal from a user.
