Solution Overview

Problem

Existing 3D display technologies fail to effectively utilize the bendable feature of flexible screens, resulting in inadequate 3D display effects.

Innovation Solution

An image display method that separates a target image into multiple layers, adjusts layer parameters based on their relative relationships, and displays the image using these adjusted layers to enhance the 3D effect, particularly on flexible screens.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional 3D display technologies are applied to flexible screens, then the display can be bent and flexed, but the 3D display effect cannot be effectively achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexible screen bendabilityVSAvoid3D display effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into multiple flexible display units that can be independently controlled. Each unit can display different image layers with adjusted parameters, enabling 3D display effects while maintaining overall screen flexibility and bendability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from traditional 2D display to 3D display by adding depth dimension through multiple image layers. Image layer parameters are adjusted to create stereoscopic effects, achieving effective 3D display while the flexible screen maintains its physical flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of operation

If the flexible screen is bent to provide new user experiences, then user interaction is enhanced, but the image layer alignment and 3D effect consistency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoidimage layer alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of image layer parameters based on the flexible screen's bending state. Sensors detect screen deformation, and the system dynamically modifies display parameters to maintain proper image layer alignment and 3D effect consistency, allowing the display to adapt to various bending configurations while preserving image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor the flexible screen's bending state and use this information to adjust image layer parameters in real-time. This closed-loop control ensures that 3D display effects remain consistent and image layers remain properly aligned regardless of screen deformation, thereby maintaining stable composition during dynamic user interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
