Solution Overview

Problem

Existing expanded screens have limited adjustable angles, resulting in a poor user experience due to restricted viewing angles and increased thickness from internal spare parts.

Innovation Solution

A rotatable support system that allows the display device to be adjusted to multiple angles by abutting against the back surface, with a damped rotating assembly and strategically placed interfaces and buttons on the support, reducing the need for internal components and enhancing user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the support is rotatably arranged on the back surface of the display device, then the viewing angle is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angleVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support is designed with rotational capability, allowing it to change from a static structure to a dynamic one. The support can rotate around a rotation axis to adjust the viewing angle, transforming the fixed display device into an adjustable one that adapts to different user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The support structure is divided into separate components: a support body, a rotation axis, and a rotation limiting component. This segmentation allows each part to perform its specific function independently while collectively enabling the rotational adjustment capability without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the support rotates to abut against the back surface, then the adjustment angle is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment angleVSAvoidmanufacturing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

A rotation limiting component acts as an intermediary between the support and the back surface of the display device. This component controls the rotation angle and ensures proper positioning, reducing the direct precision requirements between the support and the display device back surface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The rotation limiting component is pre-configured with specific angle constraints before the support rotates. This preliminary setup ensures that the support will stop at the correct angle without requiring high precision during the rotation process itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If all functions are configured on the display device, then the functionality is improved, but the overall thickness increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidoverall thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

Some functions are extracted from the display device and relocated to the support. The support carries certain functional components, which reduces the internal space requirements and overall thickness of the display device while maintaining the necessary functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Functions that were previously arranged in the internal depth dimension of the display device are redistributed to the support structure in a different spatial arrangement. This dimensional redistribution allows the display device to be thinner while still providing all necessary functions.

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

AI summary

The present disclosure provides an expanded screen. The expanded screen includes a display device and a support capable of being configured to support the display device on a platform. The support is rotatably arranged on a back surface of the display device. One surface of the support is rotated to abut against the back surface of the display device. The other surface of the support is also rotated to abut against the back surface of the display device. One surface of a support can be rotated to abut against a back surface of the display device, and the other surface of the support can also be rotated to abut against the back surface of the display device, so that the support can be located at any angle in the rotating process. A user can watch a display device in multiple angles, and the user experience is improved.
