Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional display devices are used, then information can be displayed clearly, but anti-peeping performance is insufficient and personal information may be leaked

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-peeping performanceVSAvoiddisplay structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display device is segmented into multiple independent light-emitting systems: first light-emitting devices for normal display, second light-emitting devices for interference patterns, and third light-emitting devices for additional security layers. Each segment operates independently and can be controlled separately to achieve different display modes (normal display vs. anti-peeping mode), thereby improving anti-peeping performance without compromising overall display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic switching between normal display mode and anti-peeping mode through time-division multiplexing. During normal operation, the first light-emitting devices are active; when anti-peeping is required, the system switches to displaying interference patterns using the second light-emitting devices. This periodic action allows the display to maintain clarity when needed while providing security protection during sensitive operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

2Reliability

If multiple light-emitting devices are added for anti-peeping, then security is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidnumber of components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functional components into an integrated display structure where first, second, and third light-emitting devices are combined within the same pixel units. The control system integrates multiple control signals into a unified control architecture that manages all light-emitting devices simultaneously. This merging approach allows the system to achieve enhanced security through multiple light-emitting layers while avoiding the complexity of separate independent systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The light-emitting devices are designed with multi-functionality: the first light-emitting devices serve both as primary display elements and as part of the interference pattern generation system. The second and third light-emitting devices can operate independently for security purposes or in combination with the first devices for enhanced anti-peeping effects. This universal design allows a single component to perform multiple functions, reducing the need for additional specialized components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If interference pictures are displayed during anti-peeping mode, then privacy protection is achieved, but normal display functionality is interrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprivacy protectionVSAvoiddisplay efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs periodic switching between normal display mode and anti-peeping mode through time-division multiplexing. During normal operation, the first light-emitting devices are active; when anti-peeping is required, the system switches to displaying interference patterns using the second light-emitting devices. This periodic action allows the display to maintain clarity when needed while providing security protection during sensitive operations, thereby minimizing interruption to normal display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The display system dynamically adjusts its operation mode based on real-time requirements. The control circuitry monitors the display content and automatically switches between normal display and anti-peeping modes as needed. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain high display efficiency during routine operations while providing privacy protection when required, optimizing the balance between productivity and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
