Tilting Wall Bracket Structure for Low-Profile Display Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices lack a convenient and efficient mechanism for installation on stationary objects like walls, with limited access to the rear side and increased distance between the display device and the wall due to the design of traditional brackets.
Innovation Solution
A bracket system comprising a first plate, a second plate, and links that connect them, allowing the first plate to tilt and pivot relative to the second plate, which includes a slot for easy access and minimization of the distance between the display device and the wall, enabling easy installation and maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If a traditional bracket is used to install the display device on a wall, then the display device can be mounted, but the distance between the back cover and the wall increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket incorporates a tiltable first plate that can rotate between a first position (parallel to the wall) and a second position (tilted relative to the wall). This dynamic capability allows the bracket to adapt its configuration: when tilted, it provides easy access to the rear side for installation/maintenance, and when parallel, it minimizes the distance between the back cover and wall.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket adds a rotational degree of freedom to the first plate, transforming it from a static structure to one that can change its spatial orientation. This dimensional change enables the bracket to switch between minimizing distance (parallel position) and maximizing accessibility (tilted position), resolving the contradiction between these two requirements.
2Ease of operation
If the first plate is tilted with respect to the second plate, then user access to the rear side is improved, but the distance between the back cover and the wall increases
Solution Approach 1:
The first plate is designed to be tiltable relative to the second plate, providing dynamic adjustability. This allows users to tilt the first plate during installation or maintenance to access the rear side easily, and then return it to a parallel position to minimize the distance to the wall, thus resolving the contradiction between accessibility and minimal distance.
3Reliability
If a bracket with links is used to connect the first plate and second plate, then the bracket provides stability and mounting capability, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket is divided into separate components: a second plate fixed to the wall, a first plate attached to the back cover, and multiple links connecting them. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function while maintaining overall stability, and simplifies manufacturing and assembly compared to a monolithic bracket structure.

AI summary
A display device is disclosed. The display device includes a display panel, a back cover covering a rear surface of the display panel, a bracket coupled to a rear surface of the back cover, and a support removably coupled to the bracket, wherein the bracket includes a first plate, a second plate facing the first plate, and a link connecting the first plate to the second plate, wherein the second plate includes therein a slot, which is formed toward an inside from a lower side of the second plate and in which the support is movably received, wherein the link includes a lower link, and an upper link disposed above the lower link, and wherein each of the lower link and the upper link extends in a direction intersecting the first plate and the second plate, and is pivotably coupled both to the first plate and to the second plate.
