Display device and display device frame
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display devices that provide stereoscopic effects, such as those using eyeglasses with shutters or parallax barriers, face challenges in achieving high-definition images and reducing power consumption, and often result in viewer fatigue due to the complexity of creating a strong sense of depth in two-dimensional images.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a frame portion that can be adjusted in size, curvature, and inclination, allowing for a variable stereoscopic effect, which includes a processing portion to analyze image data and generate control signals for optimizing the frame's configuration to enhance the sense of depth and reduce fatigue.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a display device uses eyeglasses with shutters to display stereoscopic images, then the viewer can see a stereoscopic image, but the frequency of image writing to the pixel portion increases and power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the stereoscopic effect generation function from the display device itself and relocates it to the frame portion. The frame portion with its opening and curved surface creates the stereoscopic effect externally, allowing the display device to show ordinary two-dimensional images without requiring high-frequency shutter synchronization, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining stereoscopic display capability.
2Reliability
If a display device uses a parallax barrier to display stereoscopic images, then the viewer can see a stereoscopic image with naked eyes, but the number of pixels contributing to image display is reduced and high-definition images cannot be displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the parallax barrier from the display structure and implements the stereoscopic effect through the frame portion's opening and curved surface. This external implementation allows all pixels on the display portion to contribute to full-resolution image display while the frame creates the stereoscopic effect optically, thus maintaining both high definition and stereoscopic capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame portion acts as an intermediary optical element between the viewer and the display. The opening in the frame and its curved surface mediate the light paths to create separate viewing zones for left and right eyes, achieving stereoscopic effect without interfering with the full pixel utilization for high-definition display.
3Reliability
If a display device creates a strong sense of depth in two-dimensional images, then the viewer experiences a stereoscopic effect, but the viewer experiences fatigue due to the complexity of the effect
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the stereoscopic effect adjustable and dynamic. The frame portion's curved surface can be configured with different radii of curvature, and the opening size can be adjusted, allowing the stereoscopic effect intensity to be optimized for different viewing conditions and content types, thereby reducing viewer fatigue while maintaining strong stereoscopic effect when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes physical parameters of the frame portion (curvature radius, opening size, distance from display) to control the stereoscopic effect. By adjusting these parameters, the system can optimize the balance between stereoscopic effect strength and viewer comfort, reducing fatigue while maintaining visual impact.

AI summary
To provide a display device that gives a viewer a strong stereoscopic effect or sense of depth in a two-dimensional image and a display device that gives a viewer a natural stereoscopic effect or sense of depth in a two-dimensional image, a display device including a frame portion and a display portion which has a display surface on a frame portion side and is located so as to be apart from the frame portion with a distance therebetween, in which the display portion overlaps with an opening of the frame portion, and an end portion of the display portion overlaps with the frame portion, is provided. In addition, a structure in which a corner of an inner frame of the frame portion has curvature or a structure in which the size of the inner frame of the frame portion is variable is added to the display device.
