Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face challenges in integrating sound components into display panels while maintaining a compact design and preventing interference between sound waves.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device incorporates a substrate with a first vibrating unit and a supporting unit, creating a separation space between the substrate and the vibrating unit, allowing for sound emission and image display functions without increasing the device's volume.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If sound components are integrated into display panels, then sound emission function is improved, but device volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the sound component and display panel into a single integrated structure where the vibrating unit is disposed on the display panel. The supporting unit integrates both support and sound wave isolation functions, allowing sound emission without significantly increasing device volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The sound component is nested within the display panel structure. The vibrating unit is positioned on the display panel with a separation space created by the supporting unit, effectively nesting the sound function within the existing display form factor.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sound components are integrated into display panels, then sound emission function is improved, but sound wave interference increases
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting unit acts as an intermediary between the vibrating unit and the display panel. It provides both mechanical support and sound wave isolation, preventing sound waves from interfering with the display panel while maintaining the integrated structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting unit is positioned at specific locations (corners or edges) to segment and contain sound waves, preventing them from spreading and interfering with other components of the device.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If separation space is created between substrate and vibrating unit, then sound wave interference is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting unit performs multiple functions simultaneously: it supports the vibrating unit, creates the separation space for sound wave isolation, and contributes to the overall structural integrity. This multi-functionality reduces device complexity despite the added separation space.
