Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices struggle to effectively output three-dimensional images using multiple displays, lacking methods to enhance the stereoscopic effect and depth perception.

Innovation Solution

A display device comprising a first and second display arranged in parallel with a controller to alternately output graphic objects, adjusting sizes and positions to create a three-dimensional effect, enhanced by a surrounding case and lighting effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple displays are arranged in parallel to output three-dimensional images, then depth perception and spatial impression are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedepth perceptionVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is segmented into multiple independent display units (first display and second display) arranged in parallel. Each display can independently output graphic objects, allowing the system to create three-dimensional effects through coordinated operation of separate segments rather than requiring a single complex display unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from traditional single-plane two-dimensional display to a multi-plane three-dimensional display configuration. By arranging displays in parallel along a spatial dimension and controlling graphic objects to appear at different depths, the system adds a depth dimension to the display output, enabling true three-dimensional image perception.

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

2Measurement precision

If graphic objects are alternately output between displays to create three-dimensional effect, then spatial impression is improved, but image output stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespatial impressionVSAvoidimage output stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The controller implements periodic alternation in outputting graphic objects between the first and second displays. This rhythmic, alternating display pattern creates a stroboscopic effect that the human visual system integrates into a stable three-dimensional perception, maintaining image stability while achieving spatial depth.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates timing control and coordination mechanisms that monitor and adjust the alternating output between displays. By synchronizing the periodic action with human visual perception characteristics and maintaining consistent alternation patterns, the system ensures stable three-dimensional image output without flicker or instability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If displays are arranged with predetermined distance for three-dimensional output, then depth effect is improved, but area occupied increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedepth effectVSAvoidarea occupied
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of expanding the display area horizontally or vertically in a single plane, the patent utilizes the depth dimension by arranging displays along the optical axis. This vertical stacking in the depth direction creates three-dimensional effects while maintaining a compact horizontal and vertical footprint, effectively trading depth for area in a space-efficient manner.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs thin, flat display units arranged in parallel layers. These thin-film display structures minimize the lateral area occupied while maintaining the necessary separation distance for three-dimensional effects. The thin-profile design allows compact integration without sacrificing the depth spacing required for spatial perception.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
