Adjustable Display Module for Electronic Eyewear
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic eyewear devices with fixed display modules often fail to provide optimal viewing experiences for users due to varying head and eye dimensions, resulting in bulkier designs that are less aesthetically pleasing and less adjustable.
Innovation Solution
An electronic eyewear viewing device with an adjustable display module featuring a pivot joint, lateral position adjustment screw, and rotational position adjustment screw, allowing for customizable placement and orientation of the microdisplay to accommodate individual user preferences, maintaining a slim and elegant design similar to conventional eyeglasses.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed display module is used in electronic eyewear, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate different head and eye dimensions of users
Solution Approach 1:
The display module is made dynamically adjustable through a mechanism that allows it to pivot and rotate relative to the eyewear frame. The display module can be adjusted to different positions and orientations using adjustment screws and pivot joints, enabling adaptation to various user eye dimensions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
2Ease of operation
If the display module is made adjustable to fit different users, then user comfort and viewing experience improve, but the device becomes bulkier
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment mechanism components are nested within the eyewear frame structure. The pivot joint and adjustment screws are integrated into the existing frame design, allowing the display module to be adjustable without adding significant external bulk. The mechanism uses compact components that fit within the constraints of conventional eyewear dimensions.
3Manufacturing precision
If adjustment mechanisms are added to the display module, then positioning precision improves, but the mechanism complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment mechanism is segmented into distinct functional components: a pivot joint for rotational adjustment, adjustment screws for linear positioning, and a rotation mechanism for orienting the display module. Each component handles a specific degree of freedom, allowing precise positioning while keeping each individual component simple and manageable.

AI summary
An electronic eyewear viewing device including a display module having a microdisplay for viewing images. The microdisplay can have an exit window aligned along a first lateral axis L1. The display module can have a pivot joint along a second lateral axis L2 parallel to and spaced apart from the first lateral axis L1. The display module can be rotatable about the pivot joint. A lateral position adjustment screw can be mounted and rotatably secured to the display module for laterally adjusting position of the display module. A rotational position adjustment screw can be mounted along a transverse axis that is transverse to the second lateral axis L2 and rotatably secured to the display module at a location offset from the second lateral axis L2 for adjusting rotational position of the display module about the pivot joint along the second lateral axis L2.
