Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for installing extended screens on laptops, such as clamping or using adhesives, can damage the laptop and are inconvenient for users, failing to meet the needs for multiple or large screens effectively.

Innovation Solution

A display bracket with a base and a rotating first support component equipped with a fixing device allows the extended screen to be installed separately, preventing damage to the laptop and enhancing user experience by enabling adjustable tilt angles and easy installation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If clamping method is used to install extended screen on laptop display, then installation is simple, but laptop display is damaged and difficult to repair

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation simplicityVSAvoidlaptop display damage
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The invention separates the extended screen installation from the laptop display by introducing an independent support component. The support component is detachably connected to the laptop and provides a separate mounting surface for the extended screen, thus preventing direct contact between the clamping mechanism and the laptop display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support component acts as an intermediary between the laptop and the extended screen. It provides a buffer zone that prevents harmful forces from being transmitted directly to the laptop display, while still enabling the extended screen to be securely installed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If adhesive method is used to install extended screen on laptop display, then extended screen is fixed, but removal is difficult and adhesive residue remains

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation stabilityVSAvoidremoval convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention replaces the static adhesive bonding with a dynamic, adjustable support structure. The support component can be easily attached and detached from the laptop, and the extended screen can be freely installed and removed from the support component without leaving any residue, thus providing both stability and ease of removal.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention extracts the adhesive bonding function from the installation process by using a mechanical support structure instead. This eliminates the need for adhesive materials and their associated removal problems, while still achieving reliable fixation through the support component's clamping mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If extended screen is installed directly on laptop display, then multi-screen display is achieved, but user experience is reduced due to damage risk

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-screen display capabilityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention segments the display system into the laptop display and the extended screen mounted on the support component. This separation allows users to adjust the extended screen's position and angle independently, improving ergonomics and user experience while maintaining multi-screen functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support component is designed to be universally applicable to different laptop models and can accommodate various extended screen sizes. It provides multiple functions including support, positioning, and angle adjustment, thereby enhancing user experience without compromising multi-screen display capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A display bracket includes a base and a first support component. The base is used for placing a laptop. The first support component is located on one side of the base, and the first support component is capable of rotating along a transverse length direction of the base. A back of the first support component is provided with a fixing device for installing an extended screen. The extended screen can be installed on the first support component through the fixing device on the first support component, and the laptop can be placed on the base. When the extended screen is installed on the first support component, an extension of a display of the laptop can be realized without a need to install the extended screen on the laptop display, so as not to damage the laptop and greatly improve user experience.
