Solution Overview

Problem

Existing 3D display devices lack a systematic method to quantify the tracking display period, which is crucial for accurately changing viewing points based on user location to provide seamless 3D imagery.

Innovation Solution

An inspection system is developed comprising a test reflected-image display device with a movable image reflection panel and a testing camera to analyze reflection luminance profiles, detecting the tracking display period by simulating user eye movement and tracking changes in viewing points.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a systematic method is implemented to quantify the tracking display period, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetracking display period measurementVSAvoidinspection system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The inspection system is divided into distinct functional modules: a test reflected-image display device with movable image reflection panel, a testing camera for capturing images, and a tracking display period detecting device for analysis. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently while maintaining overall system measurability without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

An image reflection panel is introduced as an intermediary element between the display device and the testing camera. This panel reflects the displayed image back to the camera, enabling indirect measurement of the tracking display period through luminance profile analysis, thus achieving precise measurement without requiring direct internal sensors in the display device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the image reflection panel is moved during testing, then measurement accuracy is improved, but the testing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing point tracking accuracyVSAvoidposition movement period
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The image reflection panel is moved periodically during the testing process, creating a controlled periodic action that allows the system to capture multiple viewing point positions. This periodic movement enables accurate tracking display period measurement through repeated measurements at different positions, while the movement is constrained to necessary ranges to minimize time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The testing camera continuously captures images throughout the panel movement process, and the tracking display period detecting device continuously analyzes the reflected image luminance profiles. This continuous data collection and analysis ensures that no useful measurement information is lost during the panel movement, maximizing measurement efficiency within the testing time frame.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
