Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing complexity and interactivity of applications, along with the simultaneous use of multiple applications, pose challenges for display manufacturers to provide effective organization, viewing, and interaction capabilities on larger displays.
Innovation Solution
A display design featuring two separate planes connected by a curved area, allowing users to create distinct interaction zones with different object properties, enabling continuous touch motion across the planes and simulating rotational interfaces, thereby enhancing user interaction and organization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the display size is increased to accommodate more applications, then the quantity of applications that can be displayed increases, but the ease of operation and user interaction becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display is divided into multiple distinct planes (first display plane, second display plane, and curved area) that function as separate interaction zones. Each plane can have different object properties, allowing users to organize applications across different spatial regions, making it easier to manage and interact with multiple applications simultaneously without them all competing for the same space.
2Productivity
If multiple applications are displayed simultaneously, then the productivity increases, but the organization and viewing clarity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the display (first display plane, second display plane, curved area) are assigned different object properties and interaction characteristics. This allows each zone to be optimized for specific types of applications or tasks, improving organization and viewing clarity while supporting multiple simultaneous applications with distinct visual and interactive qualities.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the display provides more interaction areas, then the adaptability increases, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display transitions from a traditional two-dimensional flat surface to a three-dimensional structure incorporating curved areas and multiple planes at different orientations. This dimensional expansion creates additional interaction zones and viewing angles without requiring proportionally more physical space, enhancing adaptability while managing structural complexity through elegant geometric design.

AI summary
Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to display device having a first display plane, a second display lane, and a curved area between the first and second display planes. The first and second planes and the curved area form a continuous display surface having four edges. Only three of the four edges are viewable by a user when viewing one of the first and second display planes.
