Solution Overview

Problem

LED displayers have a large thickness due to the superposition of LED display modules, cases, and control boxes, making it difficult to achieve an ultra-thin design.

Innovation Solution

The LED display module integrates a power supply and a receiving card within the module, with the power supply located between a heat-dissipation cover and the circuit board, and the receiving card between the shell body and the circuit board, allowing for a compact ultra-thin design and enhanced heat dissipation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the power supply and receiving card are disposed in a separate control box shared by multiple LED display modules, then the control and power management is centralized and simplified, but the thickness of the LED display modules superimposes with the control box resulting in large overall thickness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol structureVSAvoidthickness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the control and power management functions into two separate modules: the receiving card is integrated into the LED display module while the power supply remains in the control box. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the LED display module achieves ultra-thin design without the power supply thickness, while the control box maintains centralized power management for multiple modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The power supply component is extracted from the LED display module and placed in the control box, while the receiving card is extracted from the control box and integrated into the LED display module. This extraction and redistribution of components resolves the thickness issue by removing the power supply from the thin display module while maintaining separate control functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Length of stationary object

If the LED display module is made ultra-thin by integrating power supply and receiving card within the module, then the overall thickness is reduced, but heat dissipation becomes more challenging due to limited space

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovethicknessVSAvoidheat dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The power supply, which generates significant heat, is extracted from the ultra-thin LED display module and placed in the control box where it can be properly cooled. This extraction eliminates the heat dissipation problem from the thin display module while the control box provides adequate space for thermal management of the power supply.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the thermal management requirements by separating the low-heat receiving card (integrated in the thin module) from the high-heat power supply (placed in the control box). This segmentation allows the display module to maintain ultra-thin design without compromising heat dissipation, as the primary heat-generating component is located elsewhere.
