Dual Touch Screen Display with Dynamic UI Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional display apparatuses are limited by their opaque nature, restricting spatial and temporal usage, and there is a need for a device that can seamlessly integrate both general and transparent display capabilities along with versatile user interface elements.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus comprising a first touch screen, a second touch screen that can overlay or unfold from the first, a sensing unit to detect their disposition, and a control unit to dynamically display user interface elements based on the sensed configuration, allowing for interactive and adaptive UI management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a transparent display apparatus is used, then transparency and background visibility are improved, but user interface interaction capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines a transparent display screen and a general display screen into a single integrated display apparatus. The transparent screen and general screen are merged such that the general screen is positioned at the back of the transparent screen, allowing both display modes to coexist in one device. This enables the apparatus to provide both transparency functionality and conventional UI interaction capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit dynamically switches between transparent display mode and general display mode based on user needs. The display apparatus can adaptively change its operational state, transitioning from a transparent state where background visibility is prioritized to a general display state where conventional UI elements and interactions are enhanced, thus resolving the contradiction between transparency and ease of operation.
2Ease of operation
If a general display apparatus is used, then user interface interaction capability is improved, but transparency and spatial flexibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus is designed with multi-functionality, capable of operating in both transparent display mode and general display mode. The integrated structure with dual screens allows the device to serve multiple purposes: providing background visibility when transparency is needed, and offering conventional UI interactions when general display functionality is required, thus achieving versatility without sacrificing either capability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dual touch screens are integrated, then display versatility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The general display screen is nested within the transparent display screen structure. The general screen is positioned at the back of the transparent screen, creating a nested configuration where one display is embedded within the other. This nesting approach allows dual functionality while maintaining a compact and relatively simple overall structure, as the two screens share the same spatial envelope rather than requiring separate housings.

AI summary
A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a first touch screen, a second touch screen overlaid with or unfolded from the first touch screen and projecting a screen on the first touch screen when the second touch screen overlays the first touch screen, a sensing unit sensing a disposition form of the first touch screen and the second touch screen, and a control unit displaying a user interface (UI) element corresponding to a user touch on at least one of the first touch screen and the second touch screen depending on the disposition form of the sensed two touch screens.
