Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display apparatuses do not effectively create a three-dimensional viewing experience for two-dimensional images, and they lack a robust support structure that corresponds to the curvature of the display, leading to instability and limited design integrity.
Innovation Solution
A curved display apparatus with a support frame that matches the curvature of the display, featuring a quadrangular ring shape with forward-protruding lateral sides, integrated speakers, a camera, and adjustable incline, along with a reinforcement member and heat dissipation system to enhance structural integrity and viewing experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a conventional flat display structure is used, then manufacturing is simple, but it fails to create a three-dimensional viewing experience
Solution Approach 1:
The display structure is designed with a curved surface where lateral ends protrude forward relative to the central portion. This curvature creates a three-dimensional viewing experience by mimicking the natural curvature of human vision and allowing viewers to see the entire screen content without excessive head movement, thereby transforming a flat two-dimensional display into an immersive three-dimensional viewing experience.
2Productivity
If a curved display structure is implemented, then three-dimensional viewing experience is improved, but structural stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame is designed with different curvature radii for different regions: the central portion has a larger curvature radius while the lateral ends have smaller curvature radii, creating a gradient curvature structure. This local variation in curvature provides enhanced structural stability at the protruding lateral ends while maintaining the overall curved shape for three-dimensional viewing, effectively distributing mechanical stresses throughout the structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The display structure combines the curved display panel with a specially designed support frame featuring gradient curvature. This composite structure integrates the flexible curved display with the rigid support frame, where the frame's gradient curvature design provides additional structural reinforcement at the protruding lateral ends, ensuring overall structural stability while maintaining the three-dimensional curved display geometry.
3Strength
If the support frame curvature matches the display curvature exactly, then structural integrity is improved, but heat dissipation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame employs gradient curvature with different curvature radii in different regions, creating varying distances between the display panel and support structure. This local variation in spacing provides channels for heat dissipation at critical areas while maintaining close structural coupling for integrity, allowing heat to escape through the gradient air gaps without compromising the overall structural strength.
4Productivity
If lateral ends protrude forward significantly, then three-dimensional effect is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support frame is designed with a continuous gradient curvature that smoothly transitions from the central portion to the lateral ends. This curved geometry, rather than sharp angles or multiple discrete components, achieves the protruding lateral ends effect while maintaining structural simplicity. The smooth curvature allows for easier manufacturing and assembly compared to complex angular structures, reducing overall device complexity while enhancing the three-dimensional viewing effect.
