Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices face challenges in providing aesthetic functions beyond content display, particularly in adapting to varying ambient light conditions to optimize screen usage and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus equipped with a sensor to sense ambient light and a processor that dynamically adjusts the size and configuration of a secondary display area based on light intensity and direction, creating a shadow effect by altering edge areas while maintaining the primary content area's size.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the display device uses the entire screen for content display, then the content viewing area is maximized, but the aesthetic function and adaptability to ambient light conditions are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the second area (aesthetic area) dynamically adjustable in size based on ambient light conditions. The processor controls the display to change the area of the second region according to light sensor data, allowing the display to adapt between maximizing content area in bright conditions and expanding aesthetic area in dark conditions for ambient light adaptation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display device provides multiple fixed display modes, then the aesthetic function is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by controlling the display to present different display modes through adjusting the area parameter of the second region. Instead of requiring separate hardware configurations, the system changes the display mode by modifying the visual parameter (area) of the aesthetic region based on ambient light conditions, providing multiple modes without increasing hardware complexity.
3Use of energy by stationary object
If the display device adjusts the second area size dynamically, then the aesthetic function and energy efficiency are improved, but the control system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by using a light sensor to detect ambient light conditions and providing this information to the processor. The processor then controls the display to adjust the second area size based on this feedback, creating a closed-loop system that automatically optimizes energy efficiency and aesthetic function according to real-time environmental conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the display device to automatically adjust its own display characteristics based on ambient light conditions. The light sensor and processor work together to autonomously control the second area size without requiring manual user intervention, allowing the device to self-optimize its performance and energy consumption.
