Solution Overview

Problem

Existing large display screens are typically flat and fail to meet the diversified market requirements for flexible and aesthetically diverse display solutions, particularly in public settings where a larger display area is needed.

Innovation Solution

A splicing screen system where display screens have non-parallel edges with varying lengths, allowing for angled connections to form a flexible and curved surface, enabling a range of configurations from hemispherical to annular shapes, and reducing design complexity and manufacturing costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If flat display screens are spliced to form large display screens, then the display area is increased, but the aesthetic diversity and flexibility are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidaesthetic diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies curvature by designing display screens with non-parallel edges that form angles when spliced, enabling the construction of curved, hemispherical, and annular display surfaces. This transforms the traditional flat splicing approach into a three-dimensional curved structure, achieving both large display area and aesthetic diversity simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

Solution Approach 2:

The display screens are designed with asymmetric edge configurations where opposite edges are non-parallel and have different lengths. This asymmetry enables flexible angular splicing arrangements that create diverse curved geometries, resolving the contradiction between maintaining large display area while achieving aesthetic diversity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

2Area of stationary object

If multiple display screens are spliced together, then the display area increases, but the design complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoiddesign complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The large curved display surface is segmented into multiple individual display screen modules, each with standardized non-parallel edge designs. These modular segments can be independently manufactured and then spliced together at specific angles to form various curved configurations, reducing overall design complexity while achieving large display areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display screen modules are designed with universal non-parallel edge characteristics that enable them to be used in multiple splicing configurations. The same module design can create different curved geometries (hemispherical, annular, etc.), simplifying manufacturing while maintaining design flexibility for various applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A splicing screen and a splicing display apparatus are provided. The splicing screen includes display screens. One of the display screens includes two opposite first edges and two opposite second edges. The two opposite first edges are not parallel to each other. The two opposite second edges have different lengths. The splicing screen at least includes two adjacent display screens. An angle is formed between the two display screens spliced at a corresponding first edge of the two opposite first edges.
