Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a curved light blocking member is used to define display and non-display areas, then the display device can achieve curved corner portions and versatile configurations, but the manufacturing complexity increases due to the non-linear geometry
Solution Approach 1:
The light blocking member is designed with a curvature part that has a specific radius of curvature, allowing the display panel to achieve curved corner portions. This curvature enables the display device to be configured in various shapes (e.g., circular, oval, or custom curved forms) while maintaining proper light blocking functionality throughout the curved geometry
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed supporting legs are used to support the display panel, then the structure is simple, but the display device cannot be adjusted to various orientations and configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting leg is designed with rotational joints that allow it to change its angle relative to the display panel. This dynamic structure enables the supporting leg to adapt to different orientations (e.g., vertical, horizontal, or angled positions) while maintaining stable support for the display panel in various configurations
3Adaptability or versatility
If the supporting leg structure is made complex to allow adjustable orientations, then versatile image display is enabled, but the device complexity and potential reliability issues increase
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting leg is divided into multiple segments or links connected by rotational joints. This segmentation allows each segment to independently adjust its angle, providing versatile orientation control while keeping each individual joint simple and reliable. The modular structure also facilitates easy assembly and maintenance
