Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a three-dimensional screen device having a pixel-by-pixel appearance-and-removal structure and a control method thereof, and more particularly to a three-dimensional screen device having a pixel-by-pixel appearance-and-removal structure and a control method thereof that can effectively provide dynamic, colorful, and three-dimensional visual three-dimensional information embodied in x, y, and z axis coordinates. [Background technology]

[0002] Until now, 2D displays, which have been called screens, are a method of providing information required by a user by placing pixels on a flat or closed curved surface and transmitting data to the pixels.

[0003] Here, 2D displays could not accurately express a space expressed in 3 dimensions (X, Y, Z) due to the fundamental (physical) limit of a space expressed in 2 dimensions, which is mathematically expressed by X and Y coordinates. In order to overcome this, computer graphics technology has been developed, and the screens expressed by computer graphics have now advanced to the point where they are indistinguishable from the actual scenery.

[0004] However, no matter how much computer graphics develop, the means of expression cannot deviate from the two-dimensional medium of a screen and remain limited to two-dimensional expressions that imitate three dimensions. One area where this limitation is concretely felt is the spatial coordinates, vectors, and motion calculations that are frequently used in mathematics and engineering. In the above examples, the objects being dealt with must exist in three dimensions, but the means of expression currently used are limited to two-dimensional media such as paper, screens, and fixed three-dimensional models. As a result, currently, three-dimensional points, lines, and quantities are expressed using auxiliary projection techniques to express them in two dimensions, or models are created to express specific phenomena and then described, calculated, and expressed. In this process, the characteristics of the original quantities and phenomena, such as size and direction, are distorted, making it difficult to express and understand information, or only information on the state at that moment can be obtained using fixed models.

[0005] In response to this, in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2003-0039142, a display device was proposed in which a plurality of cells of a certain size constituting a display unit in which data is displayed are each provided with a display means and a driving means for adjusting the protruding length of the display means, and data assigned to each cell is displayed in a three-dimensional manner by adjusting the height of the display means. However, the driving means for controlling the movement of the display unit is operated by a step motor, and when a step motor is installed every several hundred pixel cells, the component price of tens of millions of won makes commercialization almost impossible.

[0006] In addition, in another conventional technology, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2017-0004317, an electronic display panel that displays colors using LEDs provided for each pixel includes a housing including a front perforation portion that is perforated at equal intervals in two or more rows horizontally and vertically, a light-emitting portion including a transparent or translucent three-dimensional columnar light-emitting column, an LED lamp, a lift groove formed from the bottom of the light-emitting column, and a lift screw connection portion provided at the end of the lift groove, and a lift part including a lift screw with a spiral groove formed therein, a lift rotation gear that transmits a rotation force to the lift screw, and a lift engagement portion that has a function of raising and lowering the position of the lift screw and the lift rotation gear, A technology including a rotary drive unit including an electric motor and a rotary gear, a control unit that controls the color information of the light-emitting unit, whether the lift engagement unit is engaged, and the operation of the rotary drive unit through a processor, and a power supply unit that supplies power has been disclosed in the past. However, due to the characteristics of the method of controlling the movement of each lift screw with a clutch method using an electromagnet, there were problems in that the light-emitting unit could not be moved precisely, and the desired three-dimensional image could not be accurately output due to the accumulation of movement errors of the light-emitting unit during continuous use. Furthermore, there was a problem in that the ingress and egress could only be controlled in one direction at a time, making it impossible to achieve diverse and complex expressions.

The sensor 132 is characterized in that it is configured to detect the sensing signal of the sensed claw 134 to detect the movement distance of the retractable housing part 200 and similarly set the starting position of each retractable housing part 200 by the distance sensing module 130.

[0015] The low point detection unit 136 is configured by mounting a switch 136c electrically connected to the control module 110 on the fixed housing unit 100 and physically contacting the switch 136c when the retractable housing unit 200 descends to the lowest height, or by installing a second sensed claw 136a on the lower part of one side of the retractable housing unit 200 and installing a second sensor 136b that recognizes the second sensed claw 136a on the PCB 112 at a position corresponding to the second sensed claw 136a when the retractable housing unit 200 is located at the lowest end.

[0016] The visual information output unit 300 includes an LED module 310 that is electrically connected to the control module 110 and is installed at an end of the fixed housing unit 100 to output an RGB light source.

[0017] In addition, the visual information output unit 300 includes at least one LCD panel 320 formed in the retractable housing unit 200, a backlight 322 installed in the retractable housing unit 200 and outputting a light source toward the LCD panel 320, a first image control board 324 installed in the retractable housing unit 200 and controlling the LCD panel 320 and the backlight 322, and a first cable 326 having one end connected to the first image control board 324 and the other end connected to the control module 110 to transmit image signals and power.

[0018] In addition, the visual information output unit 300 includes at least one OLED / QLED panel 330 formed in the retractable housing unit 200, a second image control board 332 installed in the retractable housing unit 200 to control the OLED / QLED panel 330, and a second cable 334 having one end connected to the second image control board 332 and the other end connected to the control module 110 to transmit image signals and power.

Effect of the Invention

[0022] In addition, a unit module, which is a combination of a fixed housing part and a retractable housing part corresponding to one pixel, is assembled and installed in a slot of the main board arranged on the x-y coordinate plane, and this unit module is equipped with a PCB, a sensor, and a driving device. Therefore, maintenance is easy by replacing only the unit module in case of a malfunction, and manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced, ensuring price competitiveness.

[0023] In addition, the movement distance of the retractable housing part can be accurately controlled by a normal motor, and the retractable displacement can be easily adjusted, so that it can be used in many ways and can convey a lot of information through color and image expression.

[0024] Furthermore, since the starting position of the retractable housing corresponding to each pixel can be set to the same position and the moving distance of the retractable housing can be accurately controlled, an accurate three-dimensional effect can be expressed without even the slightest error, and effective visual information can be provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0026] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification, when a part is said to be "connected" to another part, this does not only mean that the part is "directly connected" to the other part, but also that the part is "indirectly connected" to the other part through another member therebetween.

[0027] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of a three-dimensional screen device having a pixel-by-pixel appearance structure provided by the present invention, Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a front sectional view showing a preferred embodiment of a three-dimensional screen device having a pixel-by-pixel appearance structure provided by the present invention. The present invention relates to a three-dimensional screen device having a pixel-by-pixel appearance structure and a control method thereof, which is generally divided into a fixed housing part 100, a retractable housing part 200 movably installed by being coupled to the fixed housing part 100, and a visual information output part 300, so as to provide dynamic, colorful, and three-dimensional visual information realized by three-dimensional x, y, and z-axis coordinates by implementing a linear movement distance of each retractable housing part, implementing x, y-axis coordinates by the spacing arrangement of each retractable housing part on a plane, and outputting various colors of illumination to the outside of each retractable housing part.

[0028] First, the fixed housing unit 100 according to the present invention is mounted in the slot 12 of the main board 10 arranged on the x-y coordinate plane to form each pixel cell in the x- and y-axis directions of the stereoscopic screen, and is provided with a PCB 112, a linear driving module 120, and a distance sensing module 130 inside.

[0029] The main board 10 is formed with a plurality of slots 12 for installing stationary housing parts 100 corresponding to each pixel cell on the xy coordinate plane of the stereoscopic screen.

[0030] The fixed housing part 100 is formed of a polygonal or circular tube whose one end is fitted into the slot 12 of the main board 10, and serves as a guide supporting the retractable housing part 200 described later so that it can move back and forth in a straight line on the fixed housing part 100.

[0031] The main board 10 to which the fixed housing part 100 is coupled may be formed as a single body corresponding to the size of the entire plane (x, y axes) of the stereoscopic screen, or may be standardized to a predetermined size and assembled to the desired size.

[0032] The stereoscopic screen device of the present invention includes a control module 110 for controlling the position of the retractable housing part 200 by the linear drive module 120 or for controlling the output of visual information via the visual information output part 300 .

[0033] The control module 110 includes a microprocessor that is installed on the main board 10 or PCB 112 and receives expression information from a computer (smartphone), a motor driver with a built-in H-Bridge circuit to control the rotation direction of the motor, and the PCB 112. The control module 110 receives expression information from the computer and controls the position of the retractable housing part 200 described below by the linear drive module 120 and controls the output of visual information by the visual information output part 300.

[0034] The expression information means information that can be visually recognized when a person views the 3D screen device of the present invention, and specifically includes one or more of the movement distance of the retractable housing part 200, color data displayed outside the retractable housing part 200, or image data displayed outside the retractable housing part 200.

[0035] The PCB 112 is installed inside the fixed housing part 100 and has a terminal at its end that protrudes longer than the fixed housing part 100, and the terminal is grounded to the slot 12 of the main board 10 to receive control signals and power.

[0036] In addition, the microprocessor receives and processes (calculates and controls) expression information provided from the computer via wired or wireless communication, and the motor driver receives a signal from the microprocessor and controls the forward / reverse driving and ON / OFF operation of the motor 121 of the linear driving module 120 to control the movement of the retractable housing part 200, as shown in FIG. 9.

[0037] FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a linear driving module of a 3D screen device having a pixel-by-pixel retractable structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. The linear driving module 120 includes a gear mount 126 installed on a fixed housing part 100, a driving gear 123 which is coupled to the shaft of a motor 121 and rotates, a rack gear 124 installed in the longitudinal direction on one side of the retractable housing part 200, and a driven gear 122 which is engaged between the driving gear 123 and the rack gear 124.

[0038] The gear mount 126 is for rotatably mounting both ends of the driven gear 122 to convert the rotational driving force of the motor 121 into linear motion at an appropriate speed, and can be mounted inside the fixed housing part 100 or on the PCB of the control module 110.

[0039] In this manner, a large reduction ratio can be obtained by a simple gear assembly in which the driving force of the motor 121 is transmitted to the driven gear 122 via the driving gear 123, thereby realizing a compact and lightweight device. In addition, reverse rotation is prevented, and the z-direction position of the retractable housing part 200 connected to the rack gear 124 is fixed in a fixed position without being changed.

[0040] At this time, the moving distance of the retractable housing part 200 is detected by the distance detection module 130, and the ON / OFF operation of the motor 121 is controlled based on the detection value of the distance detection module 130.

[0041] 5 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the gear mount in the stereoscopic screen device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the gear mount 126 can be detachably coupled to the PCB and can be configured to have a shape corresponding to the internal installation space of the fixed housing unit 100 so as to reinforce the strength of the fixed housing unit 100.

[0042] A plurality of driven gears 122 may be installed on the gear mount 126 to control an appropriate driving speed of the retractable housing part 200 using a gear ratio.

[0043] In addition, the motor 121 is formed with a seating groove 126a so that the motor 121 can be easily installed and fixed, and thus the motor 121 is prevented from moving during operation, thereby providing stable driving safety.

[0044] 6 is a block diagram showing the distance sensing module of the stereoscopic screen device of the present invention. The distance sensing module 130 includes a sensor 132 installed in the fixed housing part 100 and connected to the control module 110, a point-type or line-type sensed claw 134 arranged in the longitudinal direction of the retractable housing part 200 corresponding to the sensor 132, and a low point sensor 136 for detecting the minimum height of the retractable housing part 200 in order to initialize the position of the retractable housing part 200 to the zero-point starting point.

[0045] FIG. 6(a) is a diagram showing a dot-type senseable claw 134, in which holes are formed in the retractable housing part 200 and senseable claws 134 including magnets are arranged at predetermined intervals in the holes, and FIG. 6(b) is a diagram showing a line-type senseable claw 134, in an embodiment in which a magnetic tape is attached to the inner surface of the retractable housing part 200.

[0046] The low point detection unit 136 is a means for detecting the lowest height of the retractable housing part 200. Referring to FIG. 2, a switch 136c electrically connected to the control module 110 is attached to the fixed housing part 100, and when the retractable housing part 200 descends to the lowest height, the switch 136c is physically contacted, thereby making it possible to recognize the lowest point position.

[0047] As another method, referring to FIG. 3, a second detectable claw 136a can be installed at the bottom of one side of the retractable housing part 200, and a second sensor 136b that recognizes the second detectable claw 136a can be installed on the PCB of the control module 110 at a position corresponding to the second detectable claw 136a when the retractable housing part 200 is positioned at the bottom end.

[0048] On the other hand, the position initialization of the retractable casing 200 means placing the position of the retractable casing part 200 at the zero point, i.e., the starting point position, immediately before the representation information (movement distance of the retractable casing part, color data) is transmitted to the control module 110, and the starting point of the retractable casing 200 means the position where the sensor 132 of the distance sensing module 130 recognizes the uppermost sensed claw 134, which is not the lowest point of the retractable casing part 200 recognized by the low point sensing unit 136.

[0049] Therefore, in order to reduce recognition errors of the sensed part of the sensor 132 and to increase accuracy, it is desirable to position the sensor 132 of the distance sensing module 130 at a higher position than the lowest point of the retractable housing part 200 as shown in FIG. 3, but within a range where the sensor 132 does not recognize the uppermost sensed claw 134.

[0050] In this manner, the distance detection module 130 sets the starting position of each retractable housing part 200 to be the same, and the moving distance of the retractable housing part 200 is accurately controlled according to the expression information transmitted to the microprocessor.

[0051] The retractable housing part 200 according to the present invention is installed to surround the fixed housing part 100 from above, and is provided such that the protruding length along the fixed housing part 100 is controlled by the linear driving module 120 .

[0052] The retractable housing part 200 is formed of a tube having the same cross-sectional shape as the fixed housing part 100, and a rack gear 124 meshed with the driven gear 122 of the linear driving module 120 is mounted on the inner circumferential surface of one side.

[0053] As a result, the retractable housing unit 200 realizes the z-axis coordinate of the stereoscopic screen while the retractable distance along the fixed housing unit 100 is controlled by the operation of the linear driving module 120.

[0054] In this way, the 3D screen device provided by the present invention has a unit module, each of which is a combination of a fixed housing part and a retractable housing part corresponding to one pixel, detachably assembled in a slot 12 of a main board 10 arranged on an xy-axis coordinate plane, and each retractable housing part 200 embodies the z-axis coordinate by moving up and down, thereby providing dynamic and three-dimensional visual information.

[0055] In addition, since the control module 110, the linear driving module 120, and the distance sensing module 130 are provided in the pixel unit module composed of the retractable housing part 200 and the fixed housing part 100, when a malfunction occurs, only the defective pixel unit module can be replaced or repaired, thereby significantly reducing the time and cost required for maintenance.

[0056] FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the visual information output unit of the 3D screen device of the present invention. The visual information output unit 300 of the present invention is for emitting illumination and is provided to output color data of expression information transmitted from a computer to the upper region of the retractable housing part 200.

[0057] The visual information output unit 300 is formed of any one of an LED module 310, an LCD panel 320, and an OLED / QLED panel 330, and outputs illumination. Here, the LCD panel 320 and the OLED / QLED panel 330 may be referred to as a "display panel" without being separately distinguished.

[0058] Referring to FIG. 7(a), the visual information output unit 300 includes an LED module 310 that is electrically connected to the control module 110 and installed at the end of the fixed housing unit 100 to output RGB light source, and may further include a diffusion panel 312 made of a transparent or translucent material formed in the end region of the retractable housing unit 200 so as to expose the light source output from the LED module 310 to the outside, if necessary.

[0059] In this case, the LED module 310 may be fixedly installed at the end of the fixed housing part 100 as shown in the figure, or it may be configured to be installed on the upper side of the retractable housing part 200 so as to be movable together with the retractable housing part 200.

[0060] Also, the diffusion panel 312 may be integrally formed on a portion of the end or upper portion of the retractable housing part 200 as shown in the drawings.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 7(b), the visual information output unit 300 includes at least one LCD panel 320 formed in an edge region of the retractable housing part 200, a backlight 322 installed in the edge region of the retractable housing part 200 and outputting a light source toward the LCD panel 320, a first image control board 324 installed in the edge region of the retractable housing part 200 and controlling the LCD panel 320 and the backlight 322, and a first cable 326 having one end connected to the first image control board 324 and the other end connected to the control module 110 to transmit image signals and power.

[0062] Here, the backlight 322 is formed in a columnar shape protruding from the center inside the retractable housing 200 and configured to output a backlight source in all four directions.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 7(c), the visual information output unit 300 includes at least one OLED / QLED panel 330 formed in an edge region of the retractable housing part 200, a second image control board 332 installed in the edge region of the retractable housing part 200 to control the OLED / QLED panel 330, and a second cable 334 having one end connected to the second image control board 324 and the other end connected to the control module 110 to transmit image signals and power.

[0064] In this case, the OLED / QLED panel 330 is configured as a typical high-quality display panel that does not require a backlight or in which the backlight is compactly integrated.

[0065] FIG. 8 shows an embodiment in which the retractable housing part 200 is formed of a rectangular tube. When the retractable housing part 200 is formed of a rectangular tube consisting of a combination of four side plates 201, the upper end of the rectangular tube is blocked by a front plate 202, and an open hole 203 is formed in the front plate 202 and each of the side plates 201.

[0066] The diffusion panel 312, the LCD panel 320, or the OLED / QLED panel 330 of the visual information output unit 300 is installed in the opening 203.

[0067] In this manner, the diffusion panel 312 or the display panel (LCD panel, OLED / QLED panel) is applied to the side panel 201 and the front panel 202 of the retractable housing part 200, and light sources of various colors are emitted through a total of five points, so that there is no decrease in discrimination ability due to the viewing angle, and scalability is provided to output more various three-dimensional advertisement patterns.

[0068] FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing an outline of a method for controlling a 3D screen device having a pixel-by-pixel retractable structure according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a process for setting a start point (zero point) of the retractable housing, and FIG. 12 is a control flow diagram of condition discrimination performed during the operation stage of the retractable housing in the control method for the 3D screen device.

[0069] The control method of the 3D screen apparatus having a pixel-by-pixel retractable structure according to the present invention mainly includes a position initialization step S10, a target position data receiving step S20, a calculation and storage step S30, and a retractable housing operating step S40.

[0070] 1. Position Initialization Phase (S10) The position initialization step S10 according to the present invention is a step for setting the positions of the retractable housing parts 200 on the multiple fixed housing parts 100 mounted in the slots 12 of the main board 10 to the same starting point (zero point) position, and is performed in the order shown in FIG. 11.

[0071] When the power of the control module 110 is turned on, the motor 121 operates in the reverse direction to lower the retractable housing part 200, and when the low point detection unit 136 recognizes the lowest point of the retractable housing part 200, the motor 121 operates in the forward direction to raise the retractable housing part 200, and when the sensor 132 of the distance detection module 130 recognizes the topmost detected claw 134, the motor stops and the setting of the starting point (zero point) of the retractable housing part 200 is completed.

[0072] 2. Target position data receiving step (S20) The target position data receiving step S20 according to the present invention is a step in which the microprocessor of the control module 110 receives a target position value according to the movement distance of the retractable housing part 200 from the computer after setting the retractable housing part 200 to zero point, and the movement distance of the retractable housing part 200 is input as a numerical value.

[0073] 3. Calculating and storing position difference (S30) The position difference calculation and storage step S30 according to the present invention is a step of calculating the difference between the target position value and the current position value and storing the difference as a movement command value, where the current position value means the position value of the retractable housing part 200 at the time of receiving the target position value.

[0074] As an example, if the target position value is "3" and the current position value is "1", the movement command value is calculated as "2" (3-1=2) and the motor 121 is driven in the forward direction; if the target position value is "1" and the current position value is "3", the movement command value is calculated as "-2" and the motor 121 is driven in the reverse direction.

[0075] 4. Hidden Cabinet Operation Stage (S40) The retractable housing operation step S40 according to the present invention is a step in which the retractable housing part 200 moves by driving the motor 121 forward or backward based on a calculation of a current position and a target position value.

[0076] Specifically, referring to the control flow diagram based on three condition discriminations shown in FIG. 12, when the movement command value calculated from the current position and target position value is a number greater than “0”, the motor of the linear driving module 120 is operated in the forward direction to move the retractable housing part 200 protruding, and when the detection value of the distance sensing module 130 matches the movement command value, the motor is turned off to stop the movement of the retractable housing part 200.

[0077] Then, if the movement command value is a number smaller than "0", the motor of the linear driving module 120 is operated in the reverse direction to move the retractable housing part 200 back, and if the detection value of the distance sensing module 130 matches the movement command value, the motor is turned off to stop the movement of the retractable housing part 200.

[0078] As an example, if the target position value is "3" and the current position value is "1", the movement command value is calculated as "2" (3-1=2), which is a number greater than "0", and the motor 121 is driven in the forward direction. Also, if the target position value is "1" and the current position value is "3", the movement command value is calculated as "-2", which is a number less than "0", and the motor 121 is driven in the reverse direction.

[0079] After the retractable housing operation step S40, if a new target position value is received by moving to the target position data receiving step S20, the retractable housing operation step S40 is performed based on the value calculated by substituting the movement command value for the current position value of the target position data receiving step S30.

[0080] That is, the position of the retractable casing 200 immediately before receiving the target position value in the target position data receiving step S20 is updated to the current position value, and is used as a reference value for the subsequent retractable casing 200 retractable control.

[0081] FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing a method for controlling a visual information output unit of a 3D screen device having a pixel-by-pixel structure, in which the control module 110 transmits color data received from a computer to one of the LED module 310, the LCD panel 320, or the OLED / QLED panel 330 of the visual information output unit 300, and outputs the data to the outside through the upper region of the retractable housing 200.

[0082] The visual information output unit 300 can be controlled regardless of the operation of the retractable housing unit 200, and can emit illumination according to color data received from a computer even when the retractable housing unit 200 constituting the 3D screen is placed at the zero point position.

[0083] Although the most preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above in the detailed description of the present invention, various modifications are possible without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should not be limited to the above embodiment, but should be extended to the technology of the claims below and equivalent technical means of these technologies.
