Solution Overview

Problem

Image display devices in dark environments suffer from dark regions and uneven brightness at corners due to insufficient or uneven light distribution, leading to visual fatigue and poor visual effects.

Innovation Solution

An ambient light strip assembly with multiple auxiliary light beads of varying angles of inclination is mounted on the back plate of the image display device, ensuring uniform light distribution by symmetrical corner light groups to address dark regions and enhance overall illumination.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If light strips are mounted on the back of the image display device to provide ambient lighting, then the atmosphere is enhanced and visual effect is improved, but dark regions appear at the corners due to insufficient or uneven brightness distribution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveambient light brightnessVSAvoidlight distribution uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The light strip assembly is divided into multiple independent light groups (first light group, second light group, first corner light group, and second corner light group) positioned at different locations. Each light group independently illuminates its designated area, allowing precise control over light distribution to eliminate corner dark regions while maintaining overall ambient lighting effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different light groups are configured with different characteristics to address specific local requirements. The corner light groups are positioned and oriented to specifically illuminate corner areas that were previously dark, while the main light groups provide general ambient lighting. This localized optimization ensures uniform light distribution across the entire surrounding environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple auxiliary light beads with different inclination angles are arranged in the corner light group, then uniform light distribution is achieved and dark regions are reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight distribution uniformityVSAvoidlight group structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Within the corner light group, auxiliary light beads are arranged asymmetrically with different inclination angles relative to the back plate. This asymmetric arrangement is specifically designed to direct light into the corner regions that are difficult to illuminate. The first auxiliary light bead has a different inclination angle than the second auxiliary light bead, allowing each to cover different angular ranges and collectively achieve uniform illumination across the corner area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

Solution Approach 2:

The solution transitions from a single-dimension light arrangement to a multi-dimensional configuration by introducing light beads with different inclination angles in the angular dimension. This multi-dimensional arrangement allows light to be distributed uniformly across different spatial directions, effectively illuminating corner regions that a single-angle arrangement could not cover.

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