Rolling Display Housing with Segmented Component Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with flexible displays face challenges in providing sufficient space for mounting electrical and electronic components, leading to potential interference and reduced performance.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates a housing structure with a rolling mechanism that allows the display to extend and retract, creating a mounting space between the first and second housings, which secures components like camera, communication, and antenna modules, preventing interference during movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the display is made flexible and rolled out, then the display area is increased, but the space for mounting electrical and electronic components is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into two separate housing units: a first housing that contains the rolled display and a second housing that houses the electrical and electronic components. This segmentation allows the display to be extended externally while the component housing remains compact with sufficient internal mounting space.
Solution Approach 2:
The display is arranged to extend in a direction that is separate from the housing structure, utilizing external space rather than internal volume. The display can be rolled out perpendicular to the housing, effectively adding display area without encroaching on the mounting space within the housing.
2Area of moving object
If the second housing is moved to extend the display, then the display area is increased, but interference with mounted components may occur
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the display housing from the component housing, the patent eliminates potential interference between the moving display mechanism and the mounted components. Each housing can move or operate independently without affecting the other.
Solution Approach 2:
A support structure acts as an intermediary between the first housing and the second housing, providing a stable mounting platform that prevents the second housing from interfering with components while allowing display extension movement.
