Problem
Existing electronic devices lack effective privacy protection mechanisms that can maintain the original display effect while ensuring user privacy, particularly in terms of viewing angle control.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device incorporates a light emitting unit, a first viewing angle control unit with a bendable portion, and a circuit control unit, where the viewing angle control unit is electrically connected to the circuit control unit through a flexible extension, allowing for adjustable viewing angles and privacy protection modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a viewing angle control unit is added to protect user privacy, then privacy protection capability is improved, but device structure complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the viewing angle control unit with the display panel structure, where the control unit is integrated into the display assembly. The bendable extension portion of the viewing angle control unit is directly connected to the circuit control unit, merging multiple functions into a unified structure that reduces overall device complexity while maintaining privacy protection capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The viewing angle control unit serves multiple functions: it controls the viewing angle of the display, protects user privacy by limiting visibility from certain angles, and its bendable extension portion provides both structural connection and electrical connection to the circuit control unit. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby reducing complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the viewing angle control unit is made bendable to connect with circuit control unit, then ease of connection is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The viewing angle control unit incorporates a bendable extension portion that can dynamically change its shape during assembly to reach and connect with the circuit control unit. This dynamic flexibility compensates for variations in manufacturing tolerances and simplifies the connection process, while the bending path and degree are designed to be within achievable precision ranges for standard manufacturing processes.
