Dynamic Display Size Manager for Spatially Adjustable Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional display devices have fixed spatial dimensions, limiting their adaptability to changing viewing areas, whereas physically alterable displays with spatially dynamic properties require efficient management of image output signals to accommodate varying screen sizes, especially when folded or rolled.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a dynamic display size manager that includes a display size monitor, source image comparator, source image adjuster, prioritizer, and link generator, which adjusts visual configurations and prioritizes icons based on available screen area, enabling seamless rendering across different display sizes by disabling non-visible portions and rendering link buttons to access hidden icons.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the display size is increased to provide more viewing area, then the available screen real estate is improved, but the energy consumption increases and the device becomes less portable
Solution Approach 1:
The display device employs a flexible display panel that can dynamically change its spatial configuration between extended and retracted states. This dynamic adaptability allows the display area to be adjusted based on usage requirements, providing large viewing area when needed while reducing energy consumption and improving portability when the display is retracted or folded
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display is retracted to improve portability, then the device becomes more portable, but the available viewing area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible display panel can be dynamically retracted into a compact configuration within the housing, significantly improving portability and device form factor while maintaining the option to extend the display when viewing area is needed. This dynamic transformation resolves the contradiction between portability and display area
3Manufacturing precision
If icons are rendered at larger sizes to improve visibility, then the visual clarity is improved, but fewer icons can be displayed on the screen
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts icon sizes and layout configurations based on the current display area and user interaction patterns. When the display is extended, larger icons with higher visual clarity can be rendered. When the display is retracted, the system automatically adjusts to display more compact icon arrangements, maintaining both visibility and quantity according to the available space
