Solution Overview

Problem

The existing display device fixing structure using a flat plate-shaped press sheet results in local deformation of the frame, leading to uneven gaps, light leakage, and movement of the display module, affecting picture quality due to the lack of a circumferential positioning structure.

Innovation Solution

The display device incorporates a frame with multiple press sheets around the display module, each equipped with a circumferential positioning part, such as positioning holes or protrusions, to securely fix the display module in place, preventing movement and rotation, and eliminating the lever effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a flat plate-shaped press sheet is used to fix the display module, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the press sheet and screw form a lever effect resulting in local deformation of the frame and uneven gaps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of press sheet structureVSAvoiduniformity of gap and positioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The press sheet is transformed from a two-dimensional flat plate to a three-dimensional structure by adding a circumferential positioning part that protrudes toward the display module. This dimensional change allows the press sheet to provide both pressing force and circumferential positioning, eliminating the lever effect while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The press sheet structure is segmented into two functional parts: a pressing part that contacts the back surface of the display module and a circumferential positioning part that limits position in the direction parallel to the display surface. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function optimally, preventing deformation while maintaining ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If a flat plate-shaped press sheet without circumferential positioning structure is used, then the manufacturing cost is low, but the display module can rotate and move in X-axis and Y-axis directions affecting picture quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidposition stability of display module
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

By adding the circumferential positioning part that protrudes from the press sheet toward the display module, the structure transitions from providing only vertical pressing force to providing both vertical pressing and horizontal positioning. This dimensional enhancement prevents rotation and movement of the display module while keeping the overall structure simple and cost-effective.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The circumferential positioning part acts as an intermediary element between the press sheet and the display module, providing the necessary positioning function without requiring a completely different fixing mechanism. This intermediary structure maintains cost-effectiveness while achieving the required position stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If a flat plate-shaped press sheet is used, then the structure is simple, but local deformation of the frame occurs along Z axis causing light leakage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomplexity of fixing structureVSAvoidlight leakage due to frame deformation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing structure is segmented so that the circumferential positioning part handles the positioning function while the pressing part handles the clamping function. This segmentation distributes the mechanical loads more evenly, preventing concentration of stress that causes local frame deformation and subsequent light leakage, while keeping the overall structure simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The addition of the circumferential positioning part creates a three-dimensional fixing structure that distributes pressing forces more uniformly around the display module perimeter. This dimensional enhancement prevents localized stress concentration that would otherwise cause frame deformation and light leakage, maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
