Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional touch displays in vehicles often distract drivers due to large, chunky designs that display multiple information types, causing visual interference and potential safety hazards.
Innovation Solution
A display cover glass with two distinct display planes, each with a specific color difference and angle configuration, allowing clear viewing and operation of separate information types from a single viewpoint, enhancing driving safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a large, chunky display is used to show various information and interfaces, then the display can show more information types, but the driver will be distracted by visual interference from the large amount of information
Solution Approach 1:
The display cover glass is divided into two distinct panels: a first panel for displaying driving information and a second panel for providing touch control operations. This segmentation separates information display functions from interaction functions, allowing drivers to view information clearly while reducing visual interference and distraction.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a spatial dimension by forming an angle between the first panel and the second panel. This angular configuration creates depth separation, allowing both panels to be viewed clearly from the same viewpoint while maintaining functional distinction, thereby reducing visual interference.
2Loss of information
If multiple information types are displayed on the same plane, then comprehensive information is provided, but clear viewing and operation become difficult due to visual interference
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into two separate panels with distinct functions: the first panel displays driving information while the second panel provides touch control operations. This functional segmentation ensures comprehensive information display while maintaining operational clarity by preventing visual interference between information and controls.
Solution Approach 2:
Each panel is assigned specific local qualities: the first panel is optimized for information display with appropriate viewing angles, while the second panel is optimized for touch interaction. This localized optimization ensures that each function performs its specific task effectively without interfering with the other.
3Reliability
If viewing distance and operation distance requirements are both satisfied, then driver safety is improved, but the display design becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The invention utilizes the angular dimension between panels to simultaneously satisfy both viewing distance and operation distance requirements. By forming an angle between the first panel and second panel, the design creates optimal spatial relationships for both viewing information and performing touch operations, improving driver safety without requiring excessively complex mechanical adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The segmented panel structure allows independent optimization of viewing and operation zones. The first panel can be positioned at an angle optimized for viewing, while the second panel is positioned for optimal touch interaction, enabling both distance requirements to be satisfied through simple angular configuration rather than complex mechanisms.

AI summary
Display cover glass includes a glass substrate. The glass substrate has a first panel and a second panel. An angle formed between the first panel and the second panel. The first panel has a first display area provided with an arbitrary first point. The second panel has a second display area provided with an arbitrary second point. The color difference value ΔE between the first point and the second point is less than or equal to 17 when the viewing angle difference between the first point and the second point is 10-60 degrees. The first panel and the second panel make it possible to display driving information, such as a navigation interface, and an operation interface in the two display areas respectively so that the driver of a means of transport can read the information clearly and use the operation interface with ease.
