Composite Glass Floor Assembly with Diffusion for LED Sports Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional sports floor assemblies incorporating LED display devices suffer from issues such as image quality interruptions, safety hazards, and uneven surfaces due to box-shaped casings and support structures, which make them unsuitable for competitive sports.
Innovation Solution
A floor assembly featuring an array of LED display devices with a translucent composite glass floor panel above them, where the panel includes a light diffusion layer to enhance image quality and stability, supported directly by the display devices to minimize gaps and pillars, ensuring a smooth and safe playing surface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If box-shaped casings are used to support LED display devices, then the display devices can be mounted on the floor, but image quality is interrupted and safety hazards arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the box-shaped casing from the display device structure. The LED display devices are mounted directly onto the floor panel without enclosing casings, eliminating the harmful visual interruptions and safety hazards associated with box structures while maintaining the display functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the support function with the floor panel itself. The floor panel serves both as the structural support surface and as the display surface, eliminating the need for separate box-shaped casings and support structures that caused image interruptions and safety issues.
2Ease of operation
If support structures and pillars are used to hold display devices, then the display devices can be positioned, but the playing surface becomes uneven and unsafe
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the positioning and support functions directly into the floor panel structure. The floor panel is designed with integrated mounting capabilities that allow display devices to be positioned without requiring separate support structures or pillars that would create uneven surfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes the separate support structures and pillars from the system. The display devices are mounted directly to the floor panel, eliminating the need for intermediate support elements that caused surface unevenness and safety problems.
3Productivity
If light channels are arranged close to each other to display field markings, then more markings can be displayed, but image quality is adversely affected by interruptions and shadows
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the walls and enclosures of light channels. The LED display devices are mounted directly on the floor panel without channel walls, eliminating the interruptions and shadows that degraded image quality while allowing dense arrangement of display elements for comprehensive field marking display.
