Curved Immersive Desktop Display for Reduced Eye Refocusing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current desktop displays, including slightly curved models, require users to constantly refocus their eyes to view different areas, leading to digital eye strain and reduced productivity.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a three-dimensional curved immersive digital desktop display using OLED, AMOLED, or MicroLED technologies, shaped as a spherical segment or toric form, allowing all display areas to be viewed at nearly the same distance, reducing eye strain and enhancing user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a planar display is used, then the display area is large and can be viewed from a distance, but the user must constantly refocus eyes to view different areas causing digital eye strain
Solution Approach 1:
The display surface is curved along the Z-axis with a radius of curvature between 0.5 to 2 meters, allowing the edges of the large display to remain within the user's peripheral vision and reducing the need for constant eye refocusing while maintaining a large display area
2Ease of operation
If a slightly curved display is used, then edge viewing is improved and peripheral vision is utilized, but users must still refocus eyes to scan peripheral areas
Solution Approach 1:
The optimized curvature radius of 0.5 to 2 meters positions the entire display surface within the user's comfortable viewing zone, allowing peripheral areas to be viewed without eye refocusing and eliminating the time loss associated with scanning planar displays
Solution Approach 2:
The display transitions from a two-dimensional planar surface to a three-dimensional curved surface, adding depth dimension to the display geometry to better match human visual perception and reduce eye strain

AI summary
An immersive digital desktop display includes a frame that incorporates an inner display mount surface that has a curvature of a rectangular spherical segment or a rectangular toric segment based on a set user viewing distance. An emissive display panel can be a backplane having a plurality of LED display panels, a moldable backplane emissive sheet, a flexible emissive display sheet, etc. The emissive display panel is mounted to the inner mounting surface of the conformal frame.
