Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a light transmitting transparent cover is designed to be portable and easy to use, then ease of operation is improved, but the structural complexity may increase to achieve removable attachment via articulated hinge
Solution Approach 1:
The cover is divided into a transparent cover portion and a separate hinge assembly, allowing the cover to be easily attached and removed while maintaining portability. The hinge itself is segmented into multiple segments that fold around the electronic device.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge assembly is designed to be flexible and adaptable, allowing it to conform to different device shapes and sizes. The multi-segmented hinge can bend and flex to accommodate various form factors while maintaining a secure connection.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the transparent cover spans the display area to minimize glare, then effectiveness in reducing eye strain is improved, but the size and portability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The transparent cover is designed with specific optical properties in the display area to filter glare while maintaining transparency. The hinge assembly is minimized in size and placed at the edges, allowing the main cover area to be optimized for glare reduction without excessive volume.
