Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional naked-eye three-dimensional displays suffer from light misalignment issues causing image crosstalk and blurring due to imperfect pixel light sources, resulting in double images.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a splitting device is used to ensure restricted output angles for multiple pixels in naked-eye three-dimensional displays, then the three-dimensional image can be displayed, but light misalignment occurs causing image crosstalk and blurring

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional image qualityVSAvoidlight alignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making different pixels have different light emission characteristics. Specifically, pixels are assigned different light intensities and emission angles based on their position and the desired viewpoint, allowing each pixel to contribute differently to the three-dimensional image without causing crosstalk. This resolves the contradiction by enabling reliable three-dimensional display while avoiding light misalignment through localized customization of pixel properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If pixel points are not perfect point light sources, then light misalignment occurs, but requiring perfect point light sources is not practical

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight source precisionVSAvoidpixel fabrication difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by adjusting the light emission parameters (intensity, angle, timing) of pixels rather than requiring perfect point light source geometry. By dynamically modifying these parameters based on eye tracking data and viewpoint calculations, the system achieves precise light control using conventional pixel structures, thus resolving the contradiction between light source precision and manufacturing ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If light intensity is not adjusted at different viewpoints, then image crosstalk occurs, but adjusting light intensity requires complex processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage clarityVSAvoidlight intensity control system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by using eye tracking devices to continuously monitor viewer position and dynamically adjusting pixel light emission parameters accordingly. The system calculates the optimal light intensity and angle for each pixel based on the tracked eye positions and desired viewpoints, creating a closed-loop control system that eliminates image crosstalk while managing complexity through intelligent algorithms rather than hardware complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
