Solution Overview

Problem

Tiled display apparatuses are cumbersome to install and difficult to repair due to the complexity of connecting multiple display panels, which results in long installation times and challenges in replacing or detaching individual panels.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus with a rotating frame supported by a fixed frame through a link structure, allowing for easy attachment and detachment of display panels, facilitated by a sliding mechanism and magnetic coupling for efficient panel replacement and repair.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple display panels are connected to form a large screen, then the display size is increased, but the installation time and complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is divided into independent modular units, each comprising a display panel mounted on a rotating frame with support legs. These modular units can be independently handled, transported, and installed, eliminating the need to connect multiple large panels together during installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rotating frame mechanism allows each display module to dynamically adjust between horizontal and vertical orientations. This dynamic capability enables single modules to achieve large display areas by rotation rather than by connecting multiple panels, significantly reducing installation time and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Area of stationary object

If multiple display panels are connected to form a large screen, then the display size is increased, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay sizeVSAvoidconnection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is divided into independent modular units, each comprising a display panel mounted on a rotating frame with support legs. These modular units can be independently handled, transported, and installed, eliminating the need to connect multiple large panels together during installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each rotating frame module serves multiple functions: it supports the display panel, provides orientation adjustment (horizontal/vertical), and acts as a complete functional unit. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional connection mechanisms and simplifies the overall system architecture.

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

3Stability of the object's composition

If display panels are firmly connected to form a large screen, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of repair and replacement deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidpanel replacement ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of repair

AI summary

A display apparatus includes a display panel and a support module configured to support the display panel, wherein the support module includes: a rotating frame configured to support the display panel, a fixed frame configured to support the rotating frame, and a link structure disposed between the fixed frame and the rotating frame and configured to rotate the rotating frame through at least four-bar link structure, so that the display panel is easily detachably attached to the rotating frame, thereby shortening a time for an operation of replacing, repairing, or installation of the display panel.
