Solution Overview

Problem

When the size of a display is increased to accommodate a sub-display, the space for arranging an antenna becomes insufficient, leading to overlap with the display area, resulting in unnatural screen output as the antenna overlaps with the display area, causing color output issues.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device with a display that corrects display data based on characteristic information of the antenna arranged on the display area, using a processor and memory to adjust the display data when the antenna overlaps with the display area, ensuring proper output.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If the display size is increased to accommodate sub-display, then the display area is enlarged, but the space for arranging antenna becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidantenna arrangement space
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the Z-dimension (depth layer) by positioning the antenna on a lower layer beneath the display panel, allowing the antenna and display to occupy the same planar footprint without spatial conflict. This layered arrangement resolves the contradiction by transitioning from two-dimensional planar separation to three-dimensional vertical stacking.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The antenna is nested within the display structure by placing it on a lower layer that is integrated into the display assembly. The antenna is effectively embedded within the overall display module, allowing both components to coexist in a compact configuration without requiring additional external space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the antenna is arranged on the display area, then the antenna space is secured, but the screen cannot output original color in the overlapping area

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveantenna arrangement spaceVSAvoidcolor output accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing display data correction specifically in the overlapping region where the antenna is positioned. The processor identifies the antenna's location and adjusts the display data parameters (such as color values) only in that specific area, while leaving the rest of the display unaffected. This localized correction maintains overall display quality while compensating for the antenna's interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes display parameters (color values, brightness, or other display attributes) in the overlapping area to compensate for the antenna's presence. By dynamically adjusting these parameters based on the antenna's characteristic information, the system restores the original color output despite the physical overlap between antenna and display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If the antenna overlaps with the display area, then the device structure is simplified, but unnatural screen display occurs in the overlapping area

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidscreen display quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the processor receives characteristic information about the antenna (such as its position and physical properties), processes this information to determine the overlapping region, and then applies appropriate corrections to the display data. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that the display automatically compensates for the antenna's presence, maintaining display quality without requiring complex mechanical separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
