Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the grating regulating device receives driving signals that respond to user position or movement conditions. The device adjusts the light transmission patterns dynamically based on feedback about user state, thereby maintaining stable 3D display效果 while compensating for user movement to reduce interference and discomfort

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a dynamic grating regulating device that real-time adjusts light transmission characteristics in response to user movement. The device transitions between light-transmitting and light-shielding states based on driving signals that adapt to changing viewing conditions, thereby maintaining display stability and reducing interference caused by user movement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Object-affected harmful factors

If grating units are controlled independently to adjust positions and aperture ratios, then interference from user movement is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference from user movementVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display system into multiple independently controllable grating units, each capable of adjusting its position and aperture ratio separately. This segmentation allows different regions of the display to be optimized independently, reducing interference from user movement while managing complexity through modular control architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality control by enabling each grating unit to have independent control over its light transmission characteristics. Different grating units can be controlled differently based on local requirements, allowing precise adjustment of aperture ratios and positions to minimize interference while maintaining overall system manageability through localized control

Inventive Principle:
