Rotating Packaging Members for Display Panel Side Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack effective protection for their side surfaces during packaging, transportation, and tiling, which can lead to damage and increased costs due to the need for separate protection parts.
Innovation Solution
A display device design that includes a display panel, panel magnets on the rear surface, a cover shield with exposed positions for the magnets, and rotatable packaging members connected to the cover shield via hinge members, allowing the packaging members to cover or expose the side surfaces of the display panel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate protection parts are used for side surfaces, then protection effectiveness is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the protection function directly into the existing frame structure by adding protective layers to the side surfaces. This combines the structural support function of the frame with the protection function, eliminating the need for separate protection parts and reducing overall device complexity while maintaining protection effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame structure is designed to serve multiple functions: providing structural support, defining device boundaries, and protecting side surfaces through integrated protective layers. This multi-functionality reduces the total number of components needed while achieving both structural and protective goals.
2Reliability
If separate protection parts are used for side surfaces, then protection effectiveness is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the protection function into the existing frame structure through integrated protective layers, the patent eliminates the need for separate protection components. This reduces part count, simplifies assembly processes, and lowers manufacturing costs while maintaining effective side surface protection.
3Ease of operation
If packaging members are made detachable and reusable, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability of protection may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The protective layers are pre-integrated into the frame structure during manufacturing, ensuring protection is already in place before the device is packaged. This preliminary integration ensures reliable protection without requiring complex detachable packaging members, while still allowing easy handling and transport.
