Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional LED display devices are limited in shape to square or rectangular modules, restricting their flexibility and versatility in form and functionality, particularly in providing both daylighting and advertisement effects.
Innovation Solution
A display device comprising a plurality of bar-shaped display modules that can be sequentially disposed and connected to allow relative movement, enabling adjustment of spaces between modules for varying daylighting and visual information output, controlled by a controller to change display forms and positions based on user commands or preset conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If conventional LED display devices are formed as square modules, then manufacturing and assembly are simplified, but the shape of the display device is limited and versatility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into multiple bar-shaped display modules that can be connected in series. Each module contains LED strips arranged in specific patterns, and multiple modules can be combined to form different overall shapes and configurations, thus achieving shape flexibility while maintaining standardized manufacturing of individual modules
Solution Approach 2:
The display device incorporates movable connection units that allow the bar-shaped modules to move relative to each other. This dynamic configuration enables the display device to change its shape and arrangement, providing versatility in form while maintaining the simplicity of standardized module production
2Illumination intensity
If display modules are arranged with spaces between them, then daylighting effect is provided, but the display area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the display device have different characteristics. The bar-shaped modules are positioned with spaces between them specifically at regions where daylighting effect is desired, while maintaining continuous display areas in regions dedicated to visual information output. This local differentiation allows simultaneous achievement of daylighting effect and adequate display area
Solution Approach 2:
The bar-shaped display modules serve multiple functions: they provide visual information display on their surface areas and simultaneously create daylighting effects through the spaces between them. This multi-functionality allows the same structural configuration to achieve both daylighting effect and adequate display area without requiring separate components
3Stability of the object's composition
If display modules are fixed in position, then structural stability is maintained, but the ability to adjust display configurations is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The connection units incorporate movable elements that allow bar-shaped modules to move relative to each other along predetermined paths. This dynamic design enables the display configuration to be adjusted while maintaining structural stability during operation, resolving the contradiction between fixed positioning and configuration flexibility
Solution Approach 2:
Connection units serve as intermediaries between adjacent display modules, providing both structural support for stability and mechanical interfaces for movement. These connection units enable configuration changes while maintaining overall structural integrity, thus resolving the contradiction between stability and flexibility
