Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional dual-view naked-eye 3D display device is used, then dual-view functionality is achieved, but the device becomes bulky, complex, and costly requiring glasses
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and eliminates unnecessary components from conventional dual-view 3D display devices. Specifically, it removes the lower polarizer and color film substrate while maintaining dual-view functionality through a simplified structure comprising TFT substrate, diffraction grating, liquid crystal layer, and upper polarizer only
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the diffraction grating directly with the TFT substrate to form an integrated structure. The diffraction grating is formed on the TFT substrate through photolithography and etching processes, combining multiple functions into a single integrated component rather than separate stacked elements
