Solution Overview

Problem

Current laser lamps are limited to static image display, and achieving dynamic image transformation, translation, and rotation is challenging due to complex structures and high costs, with existing solutions failing to provide an ideal dynamic display effect without increasing system complexity or cost.

Innovation Solution

A circumferential laser dynamic display device featuring an inner frame with multiframe microstructures, a rotating shaft, and a sheet metal part with through holes, allowing the inner frame to move circumferentially relative to the laser, driven by a rotating shaft, which enables smooth transition between image frames without additional movement control units, maintaining low cost and system volume.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the whole ring-shaped diffractive optical element moves circumferentially to achieve dynamic image display, then the representation content and effect are improved, but the structure becomes complex and images rotate around a rotation center causing image swing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic image display capabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the diffractive optical element into two independent parts: an inner frame containing multiple frame microstructures and an outer frame. The inner frame can move independently within the outer frame, allowing dynamic image display without requiring the entire ring-shaped element to move, thus reducing structural complexity while maintaining adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the moving part (inner frame) from the whole ring-shaped diffractive optical element. By making the inner frame movable within the outer frame, the patent achieves dynamic image display without requiring the entire element to move, eliminating the image swing problem caused by rotation of the whole element

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple frames of images are arranged in a sector to form a ring for dynamic display, then the representation effect is improved, but the cost and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic display effectVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple frames of images into a single inner frame structure that contains all frame microstructures. This inner frame is then integrated into the outer frame, creating a compact unified device that achieves dynamic display without increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a nested structure where the inner frame (containing multiple frame microstructures) is placed within the outer frame. This nesting allows multiple images to be contained in a compact space, enabling dynamic display while maintaining low system complexity and cost

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)
