Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If motor and interference sheet cooperate to achieve dynamic projection effects, then projection diversity is improved, but aesthetic fatigue occurs due to periodic image changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the projection system into two independent modules: a first projection mechanism using a display for dynamic images and a second projection mechanism using an interference lens for interference patterns. This segmentation allows each module to function independently, providing diverse projection effects without the periodic repetition that causes aesthetic fatigue, as users can switch between different types of projections or combine them in various ways.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the output of the first projection mechanism (dynamic images from display) and the second projection mechanism (interference patterns from interference lens) in the same projection space. By combining these two different projection types, the system achieves rich and diverse visual effects while avoiding the monotonous periodic changes of single-module systems, thus reducing aesthetic fatigue.
2Adaptability or versatility
If slideshow with multiple films is used for static picture projection, then scene options are increased, but operation becomes cumbersome and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a display device that can electronically reproduce various images and scenes without requiring physical film copies. The display can show different static pictures and dynamic content through electronic signals, eliminating the need for manual film switching and reducing costs associated with maintaining multiple physical film copies. Users can change scenes through electronic control rather than manual film handling.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple films are projected to increase scene options, then versatility is improved, but cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display device creates digital copies of various scenes and images through electronic storage and processing, eliminating the need for expensive physical film production and distribution. The system can store and reproduce multiple scenes in digital format, significantly reducing the cost of providing diverse scene options while maintaining high versatility.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enhances user experience with realistic, diverse, and cost-effective dynamic scenes through overlapping dynamic images and interference patterns, offering abundant image choices and smooth playback.
Implementation Method 1
light emitted from the light source assembly is guided by second optical module to pass through the interference lens and forms an interference pattern to be projected in space
Implementation Method 2
light emitted from the light source assembly is guided by second optical module to pass through the interference lens
Data Source
AI summary
An ambient image projection device includes a light source assembly, a first projection mechanism and a second projection mechanism provided side by side; the first projection mechanism includes a display and a first optical module, a content played on the display is guided by the first optical module to form a dynamic image to be projected in space; the second projection mechanism includes an interference lens and a second optical module, light emitted from the light source assembly is guided by the second optical module to pass through the interference lens and forms an interference pattern to be projected in space; the interference pattern and the dynamic image overlap at least partially with each other in the space. The device provides more stereoscopic dynamic visual experience by projecting images via a display.
