Display Shading Assembly With Integrated Light for Color Assessment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional shading solutions for displays block ambient light but require users to move away to assess objects, lacking an integrated illumination function for convenient color assessment.
Innovation Solution
A shading apparatus with an integrated color assessment light module that can be turned on for illumination when needed, allowing users to assess colors without removing the shade or using external lights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a shelter is installed to block ambient light, then image quality is improved, but user convenience deteriorates because users must move away to assess object colors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the shelter structure with an illumination function by integrating a light source and control circuitry into the shelter itself. This merging allows the shelter to provide both ambient light blocking and localized illumination, eliminating the need for users to move away and resolving the contradiction between image quality and user convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The illumination system acts as an intermediary between the blocked ambient light and the user's need to assess object colors. By providing controlled artificial illumination within the shelter, it mediates the conflict between maintaining dark conditions for display quality and providing sufficient light for color assessment.
2Illumination intensity
If ambient light is blocked by a shelter, then display contrast is improved, but the ability to assess object colors on display deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing illumination only in specific areas where color assessment is needed, rather than uniformly illuminating the entire display area. The light source is positioned to illuminate objects placed on the display surface while maintaining dark conditions for the display background, thus preserving display contrast while enabling color assessment.
Solution Approach 2:
The illumination system provides partial illumination - enough light to assess object colors but limited in scope and intensity to avoid washing out the display image. The controlled and localized nature of the illumination allows color assessment without excessive lighting that would compromise display contrast.
3Loss of information
If external illumination is used for color assessment, then color visibility is improved, but the shelter's shading function is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the illumination function with the shelter structure, making the light source an integral part of the shelter rather than an external device. This integration ensures that illumination and shading work together harmoniously, with the light source positioned and controlled to complement the shelter's light-blocking function rather than compromise it.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated illumination system serves as an intermediary that reconciles the conflicting requirements of shading and color assessment. By providing controlled artificial light within the shelter, it mediates between the need to block ambient light and the need to provide sufficient illumination for color visibility.
