Panel Support Structure With Segmented Holes for Bending Performance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Curved and bendable display products face insufficient bending performance due to traditional panel support structures, which restrict the curvature and user experience of these devices.
Innovation Solution
A panel support structure with a through hole area in the middle and a blind hole area around it, where the depths of the blind holes decrease away from the through hole area, is designed to provide better bending performance while maintaining sufficient support strength, allowing for a lightweight and flexible design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional panel support structures are used, then support strength is maintained, but bending performance is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The panel support structure is divided into multiple regions with different hole configurations: a first region with first blind holes, a second region with second blind holes, and a third region with through holes. This segmentation allows each region to contribute differently to support strength and bending performance, resolving the contradiction between maintaining strength and improving bendability.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the panel support structure are given different local qualities through varying hole depths and types. The first and second regions have blind holes with specific depth ranges to maintain support strength, while the third region has through holes to enhance bending performance. This local differentiation allows the structure to simultaneously achieve both support strength and bending performance.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the panel support structure is made lightweight and flexible, then bending performance improves, but support strength may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the parameter of hole depth across different regions. By controlling the depth of blind holes in the first and second regions and using through holes in the third region, the structure achieves varying levels of flexibility and strength in different areas, allowing lightweight design without compromising overall support strength.
3Ease of manufacture
If uniform blind holes are used throughout the panel support structure, then manufacturing is simplified, but bending performance is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The panel support structure is segmented into three regions with different hole configurations. This segmentation enables optimized bending performance in each region while maintaining a relatively simple manufacturing process through standardized hole patterns within each region, balancing manufacturing ease with bending performance.
