Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for achieving a multi-screen display on notebook computers are cumbersome and inconvenient, particularly when adapting to screens of various sizes, and lack compactness and flexibility in use.
Innovation Solution
A split-screen display device comprising a left and right support plate with slide arms, clamping mechanisms, and a support mechanism that allows for folding and independent standing, enabling secure attachment to notebook screens and balanced weight distribution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If external display connection is used to achieve multi-screen display, then display extension capability is improved, but device portability and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the auxiliary display function with the notebook computer itself by integrating a display assembly that can be coupled to the back surface of the screen. This merging eliminates the need for separate external displays while maintaining multi-screen display capability, thereby improving ease of operation and portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The display assembly is designed to perform multiple functions: it can serve as an auxiliary display for split-screen operations, be folded flat when not needed, and potentially support the notebook at various angles. This multi-functionality allows a single component to replace multiple separate devices, improving both adaptability and ease of operation.
2Volume of moving object
If display assembly is integrated to achieve compactness, then portability is improved, but adaptability to various screen sizes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display assembly incorporates a folding mechanism that allows it to change its configuration dynamically. When not in use, it folds flat against the notebook to maintain compactness. When in use, it can be unfolded and positioned at various angles, adapting to different usage scenarios and screen size requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The display assembly is divided into multiple segments or sections that can be folded relative to each other. This segmentation allows the display to be compact when folded while still providing sufficient display area when unfolded, and enables adaptation to various screen sizes through flexible positioning.
3Adaptability or versatility
If support mechanism is added to enable independent standing, then versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support mechanism is merged with the display assembly structure itself rather than being a separate component. The display assembly's folding sections and connection points serve dual purposes: enabling the display to fold compactly and providing the structural means for supporting the notebook at various angles when the display is positioned accordingly.
