Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image display technologies fail to effectively create a high-quality floating image effect due to the large size of the display device, which hinders user experience.
Innovation Solution
An image display device incorporating a display device and an optical modulator with an included angle between them ranging from 20 to 70 degrees, allowing for a projected image to be viewed outside the device, enhancing the floating image effect while optimizing the device's size and brightness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the display device uses existing floating image technology, then the floating image effect can be achieved, but the device volume becomes huge which is not conducive to user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an optical modulator that operates in a different dimensional space relative to the display device. By positioning the optical modulator at an angle θ (20-70 degrees) relative to the display device normal, the system creates a floating image effect in a different spatial dimension, allowing the image to appear suspended in air without requiring the display device itself to have a huge volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The optical modulator serves as an intermediary component between the display device and the viewer. It receives light from the display device and modulates it to create the floating image effect, allowing the display device to maintain a compact size while still achieving the desired floating image functionality through the intermediary optical modulator.
2Reliability
If the optical modulator is positioned at a specific angle, then the floating image effect is enhanced, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent specifies that the optical modulator should be positioned at an angle θ between 20 and 70 degrees relative to the display device normal. This parameter optimization ensures the floating image effect is enhanced while keeping the structural complexity manageable. The angle range provides design flexibility to balance image quality with manufacturing simplicity.
