Integrated Decorative Lighting Grid Diffuser for Display Aesthetics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display apparatuses for gaming purposes require separate purchase and installation of decorative lighting, increasing costs and space usage while creating a sense of heterogeneity due to the separation between the display and lighting units, which negatively impacts aesthetics.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus integrating a decorative lighting unit with a grid-patterned light diffuser and LED light sources within the rear case, synchronized to emit light in synchronization with the image displayed, reducing space and costs while enhancing aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If decorative lighting is separately purchased and installed around the display apparatus, then the decorative lighting can be installed, but the purchase and installation costs increase and the display apparatus and decorative lighting occupy a lot of installation space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the decorative lighting unit directly into the display apparatus housing, merging two previously separate components (display apparatus and decorative lighting) into a single integrated unit. This eliminates the need for separate purchase and installation of decorative lighting while reducing the total installation space occupied.
2Adaptability or versatility
If decorative lighting is separately purchased and installed, then the decorative lighting can be installed, but an interval between the display apparatus and the decorative lighting increases, thereby a sense of heterogeneity is felt and aesthetics is lowered
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the decorative lighting unit into the display apparatus housing, the patent eliminates the interval between the display apparatus and decorative lighting. The lighting unit is positioned within the housing structure, creating a unified appearance that eliminates the sense of heterogeneity and improves overall aesthetics.
3Adaptability or versatility
If separate decorative lighting is installed around the display apparatus, then the decorative lighting function is provided, but the purchase and installation costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display apparatus and decorative lighting into a single integrated product, eliminating the need for separate purchase of two components. The integrated design reduces both material costs and installation labor costs, making the overall solution more cost-effective while providing the same decorative lighting function.
4Illumination intensity
If the light diffuser is formed with a grid pattern and light diffusion blocks are fitted into cells, then the clarity and brightness of decorative lighting is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light diffuser is segmented into a grid pattern with multiple cells, and light diffusion blocks are fitted into individual cells. This segmentation allows for controlled light diffusion in specific directions, improving the clarity and brightness of the decorative lighting. The modular cell structure makes the complex design manageable through standardized components.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The integrated solution reduces installation space and costs, eliminates the sense of heterogeneity, and improves the clarity and brightness of the decorative lighting, enhancing the overall aesthetic experience.
Implementation Method 1
a plurality of light diffusion blocks formed of a light diffusion material and fitted one by one into the plurality of cells. Light incident on a rear surface of one light diffusion block among the plurality of light diffusion blocks may be blocked by the partition wall in surface contact with a side surface of the one light diffusion block, and thus may be diffused only in the one light diffusion block and emitted to a front surface of the one light diffusion block.
Implementation Method 2
The decorative light source may include a plurality of light-emitting diode packages arranged behind the plurality of light diffusion blocks in a one-to-one alignment and an LED board on which the plurality of LED packages is mounted.
