Solution Overview

Problem

Current transparent display products are limited to single-side display, which cannot meet the demands for applications like metro window advertisements that require information to be visible from both inside and outside, necessitating a double-side display solution.

Innovation Solution

A display substrate with a base substrate featuring a first light-emitting region, a second light-emitting region, and a transparent region, where the light-emitting units include bottom-emitting and top-emitting devices with integrated structures and color filters, allowing for non-overlapping projections to enable double-side transparent display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single-side display transparent product is used, then the transparent region can transmit light, but it cannot display information visible from both inside and outside the metro

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay application rangeVSAvoidinformation visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from single-side display to double-side display by adding light-emitting units on both the front and back surfaces of the transparent substrate. This dimensional expansion allows information to be visible from both inside and outside the metro, resolving the contradiction between transparency and information visibility.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The display substrate is divided into multiple functional regions: a transparent region for light transmission, a first light-emitting region on the front surface for internal visibility, and a second light-emitting region on the back surface for external visibility. This segmentation allows each region to perform its specific function simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If light-emitting units are added to both sides of the transparent substrate, then double-side display is achieved, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedouble-side display capabilityVSAvoidlight-emitting unit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The transparent substrate serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a light-transmitting medium, a mounting base for front light-emitting units, and a mounting base for back light-emitting units. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate structural components and simplifies the overall device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent integrates the light-emitting units directly onto the transparent substrate, merging the display function with the transparent medium. The front and back light-emitting units are combined with the substrate structure, eliminating the need for separate display devices and reducing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
