Pedestal Base Integration for Slim LCD Thickness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image display devices with liquid crystal panels have an increased overall thickness due to protruding circuit boards, limiting their slimness and weight reduction potential.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a system board, including a power board and signal board, within the pedestal base of the image display device, rather than housing, to reduce thickness and enhance slimness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If circuit boards are mounted on the rear surface of the liquid crystal panel in the housing, then the liquid crystal panel can be made slim, but the overall thickness of the image display device increases due to the protruding receiving portion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent relocates the circuit boards from the horizontal plane (mounted on the rear surface of the liquid crystal panel within the housing) to the vertical dimension (mounted on the rear surface of the pedestal base). This dimensional transition allows the receiving portion to be integrated into the pedestal base structure rather than protruding from the housing, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the image display device while maintaining the slim profile of the liquid crystal panel.
2Ease of manufacture
If a receiving portion is formed to protrude within the housing to mount circuit boards, then circuit boards can be installed, but the ratio of the thickness of the image display device to the thickness of the liquid crystal panel increases 4-5 times
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the function of the receiving portion with the pedestal base structure. Instead of creating a separate protruding receiving portion within the housing, the circuit boards are mounted directly on the rear surface of the pedestal base. This integration eliminates the need for a dedicated protruding structure, thereby reducing the overall device thickness while maintaining circuit board installation capability.
3Length of stationary object
If system boards are mounted within the pedestal base rather than the housing, then the overall thickness is reduced, but the structural complexity of the pedestal base increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the pedestal base serve multiple functions: it provides mechanical support for the liquid crystal panel, houses the circuit boards, and maintains the structural integrity of the overall device. By integrating the circuit board mounting function into the pedestal base, the design eliminates the need for a separate receiving portion structure, thereby reducing overall thickness without significantly increasing structural complexity.
