Side Display Panel Assembly for Seamless Multi-Angle Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses lack the ability to provide additional information through a side surface screen and create a stereoscopic display effect by integrating a side surface display panel with a front surface panel.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus is designed with a side surface display panel that extends from the front surface panel at various angles, electronically and physically connected through terminals and magnets, allowing for seamless integration and pivotability, and can display additional information or enhance the stereoscopic effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a side surface display panel is integrated with a front surface display panel to provide additional information and stereoscopic effect, then the display functionality and user engagement are improved, but the device structure and integration complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into separate front surface display panel and side surface display panel modules. Each panel can be independently manufactured, positioned at different angles (right angle, acute angle, or obtuse angle), and connected through mounting surfaces with terminals and magnets, allowing flexible integration while maintaining manufacturing simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting surface structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides mechanical connection between panels, electrical connection through terminals for control signals and power, and magnetic coupling for secure attachment. This multi-functional design reduces the need for separate components for each function
2Adaptability or versatility
If terminals are arranged on mounting surfaces to provide control signals and power between panels, then the electronic connectivity and functionality are improved, but the manufacturing precision and alignment requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting surface acts as an intermediary structure that houses both the terminals and magnets in a predetermined arrangement. This intermediary component pre-establishes the alignment relationship between electrical and magnetic connection points, eliminating the need for high-precision field alignment during assembly
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal structures for electrical connection and magnetic structures for mechanical connection are merged into a single integrated mounting surface assembly. This combination ensures that when panels are brought together through magnetic attraction, the terminals automatically align for proper electrical contact
3Adaptability or versatility
If the side surface display panel is made pivotable to extend at various angles, then the adaptability and display configurations are improved, but the structural complexity and connection reliability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The side surface display panel is designed with pivotable capability, allowing it to rotate relative to the front surface display panel while maintaining connection. The magnetic coupling and flexible terminal design enable the panel to move between different angular positions (right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle) while maintaining reliable electrical and mechanical connection throughout the range of motion
