Curved Display Panel With Side Pressure Sensors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices lack the ability to effectively utilize side and lower surfaces for both image display and input functionality, limiting user interaction and device design flexibility.
Innovation Solution
A display device design that incorporates a display panel with extended curved portions on its sides and lower surface, featuring pressure sensors disposed underneath or on these surfaces, allowing for touch and pressure input recognition across multiple surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If pressure sensors are disposed only on the front surface of the display panel, then the device structure remains simple, but the user interaction capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the pressure sensor arrangement from the traditional single front surface to multiple dimensions including side surfaces and lower surface of the display panel. This multi-surface configuration enables users to interact with the device from various angles and orientations, significantly enhancing interaction capability while distributing the sensor complexity across multiple independent surfaces rather than concentrating it in one area
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display panel uses only flat surfaces, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the design flexibility and user experience are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates curved surfaces on the display panel, specifically forming upper curved portions that extend from the front surface to the side surfaces. This curvature enables the display to wrap around edges and display images on multiple surfaces simultaneously, providing enhanced design flexibility and immersive user experience while maintaining manufacturability through established curved display technologies
3Area of stationary object
If the display panel is confined to a single flat surface, then the device structure is simple, but the image display area and functionality are restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes three-dimensional space by extending the display surface from a single flat plane to multiple surfaces including front, side, and lower surfaces. This multi-surface configuration effectively increases the total image display area without requiring a proportional increase in device volume, as the display wraps around the edges of the panel to create immersive visual experiences
