Seamless Multi-Display Apparatus Bezel Elimination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multi-display apparatuses suffer from image discontinuity due to bezel areas between adjacent display units, which degrade the user experience by creating a sense of separation in the overall image.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus and multi-display apparatus design that eliminates the bezel area by aligning the outer surfaces of adjacent display modules, allowing for seamless image integration without a physical barrier, and incorporates a barrier pattern at the edge to prevent water ingress and enhance reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a bezel is provided to cover the bezel area, then the display panel structure is complete, but the bezel width increases creating image discontinuity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the bezel structure entirely from the display panel design. The bezel area is extracted and eliminated, allowing the display panels to extend to the very edge of the substrate without any border structure, thereby achieving seamless image continuity across multiple displays.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple display panels are merged into a single continuous display surface by eliminating the bezels between them. The adjacent display panels are positioned close to each other without gaps or borders, creating a unified visual experience that appears as one large continuous screen.
2Reliability
If bezel areas are eliminated to achieve continuous image, then display continuity is improved, but edge protection and structural integrity may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs thin film encapsulation layers and protective films that extend to the edges of the display panels. These thin protective layers provide environmental protection and structural integrity at the edges without creating visible bezels or gaps between display panels.
3Area of stationary object
If display panels are arranged in lattice type to create large screen, then display area is increased, but boundary portions create discontinuity
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple display panels are merged into a single continuous display surface by eliminating the bezels between them. The adjacent display panels are positioned close to each other without gaps or borders, creating a unified visual experience that appears as one large continuous screen.
Solution Approach 2:
The bezel structure is completely removed from between display panels. By extracting the bezel element that created separation, the patent enables seamless transitions between adjacent panels in the lattice arrangement, achieving continuous image display across the entire large screen.
