Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display splicing technologies lack a convenient and safe method for overlapping splicing of flat and curved display modules, resulting in significant seams and display effects issues due to the width of surrounding bezels.
Innovation Solution
An overlapping spliceable display apparatus with a display module featuring a back plate unit that forms an overlapping splicing area near the edge, combined with an angle adjusting structure and position adjusting structure, allowing for precise angle and position adjustments of the display module to facilitate seamless overlapping with bezel areas, and includes a curvature adjusting structure for accommodating curved displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If display modules are spliced with surrounding bezels of certain width, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the seam between display modules becomes large affecting display effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the back plate unit beyond the display panel boundaries into the bezel area, utilizing the third dimension (depth/thickness) to create an overlapping splicing structure. This allows the back plate of one display module to overlap with the bezel of the adjacent module, reducing visible seams without complicating the front display structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The back plate unit is pre-designed and manufactured to extend into the bezel area, creating a predetermined overlapping splicing area before assembly. This preliminary structural design enables seamless splicing by allowing the back plate to cover the bezel edges of adjacent modules, eliminating the need for complex post-assembly adjustments.
2Ease of operation
If no angle adjusting structure is provided, then the device complexity is reduced, but the convenience and safety of overlapping splicing deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The angle adjusting structure incorporates a rotating member that enables dynamic adjustment of the display module's angle relative to the support. This dynamic capability allows operators to precisely align modules during overlapping splicing, improving convenience and safety without requiring overly complex fixed positioning mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing assembly is segmented into distinct functional components: an angle adjusting structure for rotational adjustment and a position adjusting structure for translational adjustment. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, making the overall system easier to operate while maintaining manageable complexity.
3Manufacturing precision
If no position adjusting structure is provided, then the device complexity is reduced, but the precision of module alignment and splicing quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The position adjusting structure provides dynamic adjustment capabilities in multiple directions (first direction parallel to display surface, second direction perpendicular to display surface). This enables precise alignment of display modules during splicing by allowing operators to adjust positions in real-time, ensuring high splicing quality without requiring overly complex fixed positioning systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjusting structures are designed to handle multiple adjustment needs: angle adjustment for rotational alignment and position adjustment for translational alignment. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized mechanisms, achieving high precision alignment while keeping the overall device complexity manageable.
