Side Surface Display Panel Assembly for Seamless Extended Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses lack the ability to provide additional information and create immersive stereoscopic displays effectively, as they are limited by the design of the front surface display panel and do not utilize the side surfaces efficiently for extended or angled screen configurations.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus design that includes a side surface display panel connected to the front surface display panel via tilted mounting surfaces and terminals, allowing for electronic connection, power supply, and pivotability, which enables the side surface panel to extend the screen area and provide additional information or create a stereoscopic effect by being arranged at various angles relative to the front surface panel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a front surface display panel is used alone, then the device structure is simple, but the display area is limited and additional information cannot be provided
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into separate modules: a front surface display panel and one or more side surface display panels. Each panel can be independently configured and connected, allowing the display area to be expanded without creating a monolithic complex structure. The side surface panels are segmented and can be arranged at different positions and angles.
Solution Approach 2:
The display area is extended from the traditional front surface (2D plane) into the side surfaces (3D spatial arrangement). By utilizing the side surfaces of the device housing, the display system transitions from a single-plane configuration to a multi-plane spatial configuration, effectively increasing the total display area without proportionally increasing structural complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If side surface display panels are added to extend display area, then additional information can be provided, but the connection and integration with front surface panel becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The side surface display panels are designed with multi-functionality: they can be connected to the front surface panel through various mounting surfaces (first, second, third, or fourth sides), can be arranged at different angles, and can serve multiple purposes such as displaying additional information or creating stereoscopic effects. The terminal connections also support multiple functions including signal transmission and power supply.
Solution Approach 2:
The side surface display panels are designed to be pivotable relative to the front surface panel, allowing dynamic adjustment of the angle between panels. This dynamic configuration capability enables the display system to adapt to different viewing conditions and usage scenarios, enhancing versatility while maintaining a relatively simple connection structure through the use of pivot mechanisms.
3Shape
If tilted mounting surfaces are used for side surface panels, then seamless bezel-less display is achieved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting structure is segmented into multiple independent mounting surfaces (first, second, third, and fourth sides of the front surface panel), each with its own tilt configuration. This segmentation allows the tilt angle to be optimized independently for each side, making it easier to achieve the desired display surface alignment without requiring extremely high manufacturing precision across the entire structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Different mounting surfaces can have different tilt angles relative to the front surface panel, allowing asymmetric configuration to achieve optimal display alignment from various viewing angles. This asymmetric approach enables the seamless bezel-less display effect without requiring uniform high-precision manufacturing across all mounting surfaces.
4Reliability
If multiple terminals are arranged on tilted mounting surfaces, then electronic connection between panels is achieved, but the terminal arrangement complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The terminals arranged on the tilted mounting surfaces are designed to handle multiple functions: signal transmission between panels, power supply to side surface panels, and data communication. By consolidating multiple functions into a single terminal arrangement system, the overall complexity is reduced compared to having separate connections for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The tilted mounting surfaces are designed to maintain consistent electrical contact between terminals of the front surface panel and side surface panels. The tilt angle is optimized to ensure that all terminals make reliable contact simultaneously, creating an equipotential connection state that simplifies the terminal arrangement design while ensuring reliable electronic connection.
