Tray With Inclined Surfaces For Display Panel Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses, particularly those with flexible circuit parts, are prone to damage during transportation due to external impacts and improper handling when loaded and unloaded from conventional trays.
Innovation Solution
A tray design featuring inclined surfaces and recessed parts that securely position the display panel and circuit part, allowing for efficient handling and reduced risk of damage, while maintaining a compact volume for storage and transportation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a conventional tray is used for transporting display apparatuses, then the tray structure is simple, but the flexible circuit part may be damaged due to external impact or improper handling
Solution Approach 1:
The tray is divided into multiple functional regions: a body portion with first and second recessed parts for separate placement of display panels and circuit parts, and inclined surfaces for secure positioning. This segmentation allows each component to be protected independently, preventing damage to the flexible circuit part while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the tray are designed with different properties: recessed parts provide containment and protection, while inclined surfaces provide stable positioning angles. The first recessed part accommodates the display panel and the second recessed part accommodates the circuit part, with each having optimized local characteristics for its specific protective function.
2Productivity
If multiple display apparatuses are transported together, then transportation efficiency improves, but the risk of damage due to impact and improper handling increases
Solution Approach 1:
By separating display panels and circuit parts into different recessed parts within the same tray, each component is individually protected from impact. The inclined surfaces in each recessed part ensure stable positioning, preventing shifting during transportation. This allows multiple trays to be stacked and transported efficiently while maintaining protection against external impacts.
3Reliability
If the tray is designed with secure positioning features, then protection against damage improves, but the volume required for storage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The tray merges multiple protective functions into a single integrated structure: the body portion contains both first and second recessed parts with inclined surfaces, combining protection for display panels and circuit parts in one compact unit. This consolidation provides comprehensive protection during handling while minimizing the overall storage volume compared to using separate containers for each component.

AI summary
A tray for a display apparatus includes a plate disposed to be parallel with a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a first recessed part recessed from the plate in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions, a second recessed part recessed from the plate in the third direction and spaced apart from the first recessed part in the second direction, a first inclined surface extending from the first recessed part in a direction opposite to the third direction and inclined at a first angle with respect to the plate, and a second inclined surface extending from the second recessed part in the direction opposite to the third direction, inclined at a second angle with respect to the plate and connected to the first inclined surface.
