Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices with splicing installations have large splicing seams due to the installation of backlight modules using multiple backboards and middle frames, which occupy excessive space and result in significant gaps.

Innovation Solution

A splicing installation assembly that includes a middle frame with partitions dividing the space into multiple installation areas for backlight modules, accompanied by installation platforms and reflective layers to enhance light emission and stability, and limit structures for precise positioning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If multiple backboards and middle frames are used to install backlight modules, then the installation structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the splicing seam becomes excessively large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation structure simplicityVSAvoidsplicing seam width
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple backlight module installations into a single middle frame by adding internal partitions. Instead of using separate middle frames for each backlight module (which would create large splicing seams), the invention merges them into one integrated structure with partitions separating the installation areas, thereby reducing the overall splicing seam width while maintaining ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the internal space of the middle frame using partitions to create multiple installation areas. This allows individual backlight modules to be separated and installed within the same middle frame, enabling precise positioning and reducing the splicing seam width between adjacent display areas while keeping the overall structure simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If multiple middle frames are used for separate backlight module installation, then each module can be installed independently, but the space occupied between adjacent modules increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent module installationVSAvoidspace occupied by middle frame
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple independent middle frames into a single integrated middle frame with internal partitions. This allows backlight modules to be installed independently within their respective partitioned areas while eliminating the need for separate middle frames, thereby reducing the total space occupied and minimizing gaps between adjacent modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If partitions are added to divide the middle frame into multiple installation areas, then multiple backlight modules can be installed in the same middle frame, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebacklight module installation efficiencyVSAvoidmiddle frame structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds partitions to divide the middle frame into multiple installation areas, enabling multiple backlight modules to be installed within a single middle frame. This segmentation increases installation efficiency and reduces splicing seams, while the partition design maintains relative structural simplicity by using straightforward dividing elements rather than complex mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present application provides a splicing installation assembly of a display device, and a display device. The splicing installation assembly includes a backboard, a middle frame and a partition, the middle frame is configured to connect to the backboard of the display device; the partition is arranged in the middle frame and is connected to an inner wall of the middle frame, and is configured to partition an inner space of the middle frame to form a plurality of installation areas for installing backlight modules. As such, multiple backlight modules are possible to install on the same splicing installation assembly, thereby reducing a space occupied by the middle frame between adjacent ones of the backlight modules, thus reducing a splicing gap.
