Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies face challenges in implementing large, thin, and cost-effective display systems due to the need for space-consuming auxiliary hardware and complex wiring, which hinders the integration of computing functions in thin display panels.

Innovation Solution

A transparent flexible display panel system with an integrated processing unit, adhesive layer, and clip-type connectors that allow for data and power relay, enabling attachment and detachment from surfaces without additional hardware, and integration of computing functions on a single substrate using System on Glass (SOG) technology.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Weight of moving object

If traditional display panels with auxiliary hardware components are used, then display functionality is achieved, but the display panel becomes thick and heavy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay panel weightVSAvoidauxiliary hardware components
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates computing functions (CPU, memory, graphics processing) directly onto the display panel substrate, merging previously separate hardware components into a unified structure. This eliminates the need for external processing units and reduces overall system complexity while maintaining display functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The display panel substrate serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the display surface, the processing unit carrier, the memory storage medium, and the structural support. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate auxiliary hardware components, reducing both weight and complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Area of stationary object

If display panel size is increased, then large screen display is achieved, but manufacturing cost increases dramatically

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay panel areaVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display system into multiple smaller display panels that can be manufactured independently using standard manufacturing processes. These panels are then connected via connectors to form a large-screen display, avoiding the need to manufacture expensive large-size panels while achieving the same visual effect

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple display panels are arranged in a nested or tiled configuration, with each panel containing integrated processing units. The panels connect through edge connectors, allowing large-screen functionality to be achieved by combining multiple smaller, more cost-effective units

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Area of stationary object

If multiple display panels are connected to form large screen, then display area is increased, but wiring complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidwiring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates communication and data transmission functions directly into the connector structures that link display panels. The connectors include integrated circuit boards with processing units that handle data routing, eliminating the need for separate complex wiring systems and reducing overall connection complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
