Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Flexible display panels, such as liquid crystal display panels, face challenges in maintaining optimal image quality when the viewer's position and angle change, as the fixed curvature may not be suitable for the viewer's perspective, leading to suboptimal viewing experiences.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a display panel and adjustable holders that can move linearly and rotate, allowing the panel to bend and change curvature based on the viewer's position and angle, ensuring optimal image display by adjusting the curvature of the panel accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the display panel has a fixed curvature designed for specific viewing conditions, then the display effect is optimized for that specific configuration, but the display quality deteriorates when the viewer's position or angle changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the display panel's curvature adjustable rather than fixed. The panel can dynamically change its bending degree to adapt to different viewing angles and positions, resolving the contradiction between optimized display effect for specific conditions and adaptability to varying viewing conditions. The curvature adjustment mechanism allows the panel to transition between different curved states based on viewer position.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by varying the curvature radius of the display panel according to viewing conditions. The system changes the physical parameter of curvature to maintain optimal display quality across different viewing angles, thereby resolving the contradiction between fixed-configuration optimization and viewing adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display panel is made flexible to enable bending, then the panel can be curved to match viewer position, but the structural stability and flatness control become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by introducing a controllable curvature adjustment mechanism that allows the flexible panel to maintain its shape stably at different bending degrees. The system dynamically adjusts the panel's curvature state and maintains it, resolving the contradiction between bending capability and flatness control by providing stable curved or flat states on demand.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes flexible display panel technology that inherently allows bending while maintaining structural integrity. The flexible panel can be curved to match viewer position while the support structure and control mechanism ensure stable flatness when needed, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and stability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the curvature of the display panel is adjusted to match viewer position, then viewing experience is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional adjustment mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by implementing a curvature adjustment mechanism that allows the display panel to change its bending degree. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the panel to adapt to different viewing positions while maintaining a relatively compact structure, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.
