Transparent Display Front Panel with Bent Edge and Exposed Perimeter
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display apparatuses often give a smaller impression of the image output screen due to a surrounding cabinet structure, which limits the perceived size and aesthetic appeal.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus design featuring a front panel with a bent upper end and exposed circumference, combined with a fixing bracket and decoration frame, creates an elegant appearance by eliminating the cabinet structure and enhancing the perceived screen size through a transparent front panel and strategically placed printed surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a cabinet structure surrounding the display module is used, then structural support and protection are provided, but the perceived screen area ratio decreases and aesthetic appeal is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the traditional cabinet structure that surrounds the display module, extracting only the essential support functions. The display module is directly mounted to the rear panel without a surrounding cabinet frame, which eliminates the visual obstruction and increases the perceived screen area ratio while maintaining structural integrity through simplified support elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent addresses the structural support function by transitioning from a three-dimensional cabinet enclosure to a two-dimensional rear panel mounting system. The display module is secured to the rear panel through direct attachment or minimal support brackets, eliminating the need for a volumetric cabinet structure and thereby increasing the front surface area ratio.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a transparent plate is added to shield electromagnetic waves, then electromagnetic shielding is improved, but the aesthetic appeal and elegance of the design is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the transparent electromagnetic shielding plate from the front surface design, eliminating the visual obstruction it creates. Instead, electromagnetic shielding is addressed through alternative means such as shielding materials integrated into the rear panel or support structures, allowing the front surface to maintain its aesthetic appeal without the transparent plate.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces alternative electromagnetic shielding solutions that do not interfere with the aesthetic appearance. Shielding materials are placed in intermediate positions such as the rear panel or between the display module and external environment, serving as mediators that provide electromagnetic protection without compromising the visual elegance of the front surface.
