Solution Overview
Problem
Current display assemblies for art and advertising lack the ability to dynamically change the color or intensity of displayed images effectively, limiting their visual appeal and engagement.
Innovation Solution
A backlit display assembly comprising multiple panels with transparent and opaque sections, combined with a light source emitting different colors, allows for selective control of light passage through the panels to alter the color and intensity of displayed images, using CMYK color printing and RGB LED lighting to create a range of colors and shades.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple panels with transparent and opaque sections are used, then color and intensity control is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into multiple panels (first panel, second panel, third panel) with different transparency and color properties. Each panel can be independently configured with transparent portions and opaque portions, allowing selective light passage and color filtering to achieve dynamic color changes while maintaining manageable individual panel structures
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the panels have different optical properties (transparent vs. opaque, different colors). The first panel has transparent portions in specific colors, the second panel has both transparent and opaque portions, and the third panel has transparent portions. This local variation in properties enables selective control of light transmission to create the desired color effects
2Adaptability or versatility
If RGB LED lighting is used, then color variety is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses controllable RGB LED lighting that can dynamically adjust color output based on viewing conditions and desired effects. The lighting intensity and color composition can be varied to achieve different visual outcomes, allowing the system to adapt to different scenarios and optimize energy usage based on actual requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The RGB LED light source can change its emission parameters (color temperature, intensity, wavelength composition) to produce different colors. By adjusting these parameters, the system achieves color variety without requiring multiple separate light sources, thereby managing energy consumption more efficiently
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables dynamic color changes and enhanced visual effects, providing a more engaging and interactive viewing experience by allowing specific elements of an image to change color or intensity based on the light source and panel configurations.
Implementation Method 1
a light source that includes at least a red light emitting diode, a green light emitting diode, and blue light emitting diode
Implementation Method 2
a second panel including a first transparent portion of a first color, a second transparent portion of a second color, and an opaque portion so that light from the light source does not pass through a corresponding portion of the first panel
