Roof-Mounted Slidable Display With Tilting Guide Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices, such as those used in vehicles, lack the ability to provide a larger display area while maintaining a compact form factor and do not allow for adjustable positioning and stability during sliding operations.
Innovation Solution
A slidable display device mounted on a vehicle's roof panel, featuring a mounting frame, a display panel assembly, and a guide member that tilts and guides the display panel assembly, allowing it to extend and retract while maintaining stability and durability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the display device is mounted on a roof panel to provide a larger display area, then the display area is increased, but the device complexity increases due to the need for sliding and angle adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel assembly is nested within the roof panel structure, allowing it to be stored compactly when not in use and deployed when needed. The guide member and support structure are integrated into the roof panel, creating a nested configuration that maximizes display area while minimizing the space required when retracted.
Solution Approach 2:
The display panel assembly is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to slide between extended and retracted positions. The guide member enables dynamic angle adjustment, transforming the display device from a static to a dynamic system that can adapt its configuration based on usage requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display panel assembly is made movable to allow sliding, then the adaptability is improved, but the stability of the object's composition deteriorates during sliding operations
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member acts as an intermediary component between the movable display panel assembly and the fixed roof panel structure. It provides guided movement paths and support during sliding operations, ensuring stability while enabling adaptability. The guide member mediates the transition between different positions and angles of the display panel assembly.
3Ease of operation
If the guide member is tilted to adjust the display angle, then the ease of operation is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The guide member is designed with tiltable capability, allowing it to dynamically adjust its angle to support the display panel assembly at various positions. This dynamic adjustment mechanism enables easy operation for angle control while the manufacturing precision is managed through the design of the tilting mechanism and support structures.
4Area of moving object
If the display panel assembly is extended outside the roof panel, then the display area is increased, but the durability deteriorates due to exposure to external conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel assembly is designed to dynamically extend and retract, allowing it to be positioned outside the roof panel for enhanced display area when needed, and retracted for protection and durability. The sliding mechanism enables the system to transition between these states, balancing display area requirements with durability concerns.

AI summary
A slidable display device in one example includes a display panel assembly, a mounting frame, and a guide member tiltably connected to the mounting frame. The guide member can be configured to support the display panel assembly as the display panel assembly moves between a first position and a second position with respect to the mounting frame. The guide member can be configured to bend the display panel assembly as the display panel assembly moves from the first position to the second position so that a first portion of the display panel assembly is tilted downward.
