Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional single panel splicing methods for large-sized displays result in heavier, thicker, and more complex modules that are difficult to detach and maintain, with poor alignment accuracy due to manual adhering processes.

Innovation Solution

A splicing display device with a back plate and splicing display units, where each unit includes a display panel and connection mechanisms that fit into limit slots on the back plate, allowing for detachable magnetic attraction connections, reducing weight and thickness, and simplifying maintenance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If traditional single panel splicing method is used with foam glue and embedded magnets, then the display panel can be firmly fixed to the back plate, but the single panel module becomes heavier and thicker

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing firmnessVSAvoidmodule weight
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSWeight of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the metal single panel structure and embedded magnets from the traditional design. Instead, it uses a connection mechanism with adhesive units directly attached to the display panel背面, eliminating the need for a separate metal panel and reducing overall weight while maintaining fixing firmness through direct adhesive bonding and magnetic attraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the fixing function into the connection mechanism by integrating adhesive units and magnetic attraction units directly on the display panel背面. This combines the previously separate functions of foam glue adhesion and magnet embedding into a unified connection mechanism, reducing structural complexity and weight.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Strength

If traditional single panel splicing method is used with foam glue and embedded magnets, then the display panel can be firmly fixed to the back plate, but the single panel module becomes thicker

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefixing firmnessVSAvoidmodule thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the thick metal single panel structure and the stacked magnet arrangement from the traditional design. By using a connection mechanism with adhesive units directly attached to the display panel背面 and magnetic attraction units in limit slots on the back plate, it significantly reduces the overall thickness of the module while maintaining firm fixing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the magnetic attraction arrangement from a stacked three-dimensional configuration (multiple magnets in layers) to a planar arrangement where magnetic attraction units are positioned in limit slots on the back plate, attracting corresponding units on the display panel from a different spatial dimension, thereby reducing thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Stability of the object's composition

If traditional single panel splicing method is used with embedded magnets fixed by screws, then the structure is stable, but the structure becomes complicated and difficult to detach

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the fixing structure into modular components: connection mechanisms with adhesive units and magnetic attraction units that can be independently positioned and attached. The limit slots on the back plate provide predefined positions for these modular components, creating a segmented yet integrated structure that is both stable and easily detachable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a dynamic, detachable connection system where the connection mechanism can be easily attached and detached from the back plate through magnetic attraction and adhesive bonding. This replaces the static, permanent screw-fixed structure with a dynamic system that maintains stability during operation but allows for easy maintenance and reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Ease of manufacture

If traditional single panel splicing method is used with manual adhering process, then the display panel can be assembled to the back plate, but the alignment accuracy is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly easeVSAvoidalignment accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining the positions of limit slots on the back plate and corresponding connection mechanisms on the display panel背面. These pre-positioned structural features guide the alignment process, ensuring accurate positioning before the actual adhesive bonding and magnetic attraction are applied, thereby improving alignment accuracy while maintaining assembly ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical adhering process with a system based on magnetic attraction and adhesive bonding guided by pre-defined limit slots and connection mechanisms. This substitution eliminates the need for manual positioning and alignment operations, improving both alignment accuracy and assembly ease through the inherent guiding features of the limit slots.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
