Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional liquid crystal display devices require separate components for supporting the backlight module and display panel, leading to complex assembly processes and high manufacturing costs.
Innovation Solution
A supporting base with stepwise structures that integrate a bottom plate and alternately arranged raising and supporting segments, allowing the light guide plate and display panel to be directly supported, thereby simplifying assembly and reducing components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If separate components (back bezel and inner frame) are used to support the backlight module and display panel, then the structural strength is sufficient, but the device complexity increases and manufacturing cost rises
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the back bezel and inner frame into a single integrated supporting base with stepwise supporting structures. The supporting base includes a bottom plate and multiple stepwise supporting structures that rise from the bottom plate, with each structure containing raising segments and supporting segments arranged alternately. This merging eliminates the need for separate components while maintaining the ability to support both the backlight module and display panel, thereby reducing device complexity and manufacturing cost while preserving structural strength.
2Stability of the object's composition
If separate components (back bezel and inner frame) are used to support the backlight module and display panel, then the structural stability is maintained, but the assembling process becomes complicated and assembly efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple supporting functions into a single supporting base component. The stepwise supporting structures provide multiple levels for mounting different components (backlight module on lower levels, display panel on upper levels), eliminating the need for separate back bezel and inner frame assemblies. This integration simplifies the assembling process by reducing the number of components to be assembled and the complexity of assembly procedures, thereby improving assembling efficiency while maintaining structural stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting base is segmented into multiple stepwise supporting structures with raising segments and supporting segments arranged alternately. Each structure provides distinct mounting levels and positions for different components. This segmentation allows for organized placement of components at appropriate heights and positions, facilitating a simpler and more efficient assembly process while ensuring structural stability through the distributed supporting points.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate components are used, then each component can be optimized for its specific function, but the number of elements increases and manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting base is designed as a multi-functional component that performs multiple supporting functions simultaneously. The stepwise supporting structures provide different mounting levels and positions for various components (backlight module, display panel, and other components). This universal design allows a single component to replace multiple specialized components, reducing the number of elements while maintaining the ability to optimize the position and support for each component according to its specific functional requirements.

AI summary
A supporting base includes a bottom plate and a plurality of stepwise supporting structures connected with and raised up from a plurality of side edges of the bottom plate. Each stepwise supporting structure includes a plurality of raising segments and at least one supporting segment. The plurality of raising segments and the at least one supporting segment are alternately arranged. The at least one supporting segment is substantially parallel to the bottom plate. The lowest raising segment has a bottom end connected with one of the side edges of the bottom plate. A thickness of at least one of the at least one supporting segment is greater than that of at least one of the plurality of raising segments. A display device using the support base is also provided to improve assembling efficiency and reduce cost.
