Solution Overview

Problem

Existing liquid crystal televisions face increased costs and space occupation due to the need for additional LVDS lines and separate logic boards, which restrict the application scope and increase the area of the display panel.

Innovation Solution

A circuit board assembly with a stacked configuration using pin headers and sockets to connect the main board and logic board directly, eliminating the need for additional LVDS lines and optimizing space usage, along with the use of flexible flat cable lines to connect components efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the logic board is integrated on the television main board, then the area of the television main board increases, but the output mode is limited and customization is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput modeVSAvoidarea of television main board
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the logic board functionality into separate modules (first logic board module and second logic board module) that can be independently selected and connected to the main board through connection members. This segmentation allows the main board to support different output modes without increasing its area, as only the required logic board module is connected based on the screen type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the logic board is made as an independent board card and fixed on the display panel, then the logic board can be independent, but the space of the display panel is occupied and the area increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependence of logic boardVSAvoidarea of display panel
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional layout where the logic board is fixed on the display panel to a three-dimensional stacked configuration where the logic board module is connected to the main board through connection members. This vertical stacking eliminates the need for additional display panel area while maintaining logic board independence.

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

3Reliability

If an additional LVDS line is used to connect the television main board, then signal transmission is enabled, but the cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmissionVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the LVDS signal transmission function with the existing connection members (first and second connection members) that are already part of the logic board module structure. By integrating the signal transmission capability into the connection members themselves, the need for separate additional LVDS lines is eliminated, reducing cost while maintaining reliable signal transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
