Display Device Frame with Segmented Transparency for AR
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices with transparent backgrounds struggle to provide a seamless integration of visual recognition of the background while maintaining a large display area, often resulting in compromised display quality and user experience, especially in augmented reality applications where alignment between the user's line of sight and the displayed information is critical.
Innovation Solution
A display device design featuring a frame with an opening surrounded by an inner edge, a rod-shaped grip, a switch, and a detection device, where the display panel is held by the frame and its background is visually recognizable, allowing for enhanced user interaction and augmented reality experiences by overlaying information directly on real objects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a display panel with transparent background is used to enable background visual recognition, then the transparency and background visibility are improved, but the display area and display quality are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is divided into multiple regions: a first region with a first transparency level for displaying information, and a second region with a second transparency level for viewing the background. This segmentation allows different portions of the display device to serve different functions - one optimized for display quality and another for background visibility, thereby resolving the contradiction between display area and background recognition.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the frame structure is expanded to provide both display and background viewing areas, then the functionality is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The frame serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, defines the boundary of the display panel, creates the opening for background viewing, and itself acts as a display region with varying transparency levels. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby improving versatility while controlling structural complexity.
3Ease of manufacture
If the opening region is enlarged to improve background recognition, then the background visibility is improved, but the display area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the frame are assigned different transparency levels according to their specific functional requirements. The first region has higher transparency for background viewing, while the second region has lower transparency for displaying information. This localized optimization allows the opening to be sufficiently large for background recognition while maintaining adequate display area in specific regions.
