Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If structural members with adjustable curvature are used, then the curvature of the display surface can be adjusted, but the structure becomes more complicated and additional curvature jigs are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the curvature adjustment function directly into the support base structure. The rotating structure integrates both the support function and the curvature adjustment function in one component, eliminating the need for separate structural members and curvature jigs. The support base includes a rotating structure that can rotate around a central axis, with a curved profile that directly contacts and supports the display substrate, merging multiple functions into a single integrated component.
Solution Approach 2:
The support base is designed as a multi-functional component that simultaneously provides support, enables curvature adjustment, and eliminates the need for additional tools. The rotating structure with curved profile serves multiple purposes: supporting the display substrate, enabling curvature adjustment through rotation, and replacing the need for separate structural members and curvature jigs, thus achieving multi-functionality in a single component.
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional curvature jigs are used to adjust curvature, then the display surface curvature can be modified, but the adjustment process becomes more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The curvature adjustment function is merged into the support base itself. The rotating structure of the support base can be rotated around a central axis, and this rotation directly adjusts the curvature of the display substrate without requiring separate curvature jigs. The curved profile of the rotating structure contacts the display substrate and transfers the curvature adjustment directly, simplifying the adjustment process to a single rotational motion.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple structural members are used to fix and bend the display, then the display can achieve fixed curvature, but the overall structure becomes more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functions of multiple structural members into a single support base with a rotating structure. The support base includes a rotating structure that can rotate around a central axis, with a curved profile that directly contacts and supports the display substrate. This single integrated component replaces what would traditionally require multiple separate structural members, achieving both curvature fixation and structural simplification.
