Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If LCD-based 3D display technology uses binocular parallax principle with traditional display structures, then 3D display function is achieved, but crosstalk between left and right parallax images occurs and controllability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D display qualityVSAvoidcrosstalk between parallax images
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display into multiple pixel regions with independent light emitting devices, allowing separate control of left and right parallax images. Each pixel region can be independently controlled to direct light to the appropriate eye, eliminating crosstalk between parallax images while maintaining reliable 3D display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If traditional display structures are used without liquid crystal lenses, then device complexity is reduced, but light direction control precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight exit direction controlVSAvoiddisplay structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces liquid crystal lenses as intermediary elements between the light emitting devices and the viewer. These lenses precisely control the exit direction of light by adjusting their refractive properties, achieving high manufacturing precision in light direction control while managing device complexity through efficient optical mediation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes in the liquid crystal lenses, specifically adjusting the refractive index and focal length by controlling voltage applied to the liquid crystal. This enables dynamic control of light exit directions with high precision, allowing the system to adapt to different viewing conditions while managing overall device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
