Flexible 360-Degree Display Layout for Aerosol Generators
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing aerosol generation apparatuses with display screens have limited display area, which cannot accommodate the increasing amount of information that needs to be displayed due to the use of rigid glass substrates mounted on a single outer surface.
Innovation Solution
Employ a bendable flexible display module that surrounds the shell in a 360-degree manner, allowing information to be displayed on multiple outer surfaces, increasing the overall display area.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a rigid glass substrate display screen is used, then the display screen can be mounted on one outer surface of the aerosol generation apparatus, but the display area is limited and cannot display more information
Solution Approach 1:
The display module transitions from a planar 2D configuration on a single surface to a 3D spatial arrangement that wraps around the apparatus. The flexible display module is configured to extend along the circumferential direction and mount on multiple outer surfaces (front, back, and side surfaces), effectively utilizing three-dimensional space to expand the display area without increasing device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a flexible display module with a flexible substrate that can be bent and conform to the contours of the apparatus. This flexible construction allows the display to wrap around edges and mount on multiple surfaces, transforming the rigid single-surface display into a multi-surface configuration that maximizes display area while maintaining structural simplicity.
2Area of stationary object
If a rigid glass substrate display screen is used, then the display structure is simple, but the display area is small and located on only one outer surface
Solution Approach 1:
The display system transitions from occupying a single two-dimensional surface to utilizing three-dimensional space by wrapping around the apparatus. The flexible display module extends in the circumferential direction and mounts on multiple outer surfaces including front, back, and side surfaces, thereby increasing both display area and adaptability to different viewing angles and orientations.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible display module serves multiple functions: it provides display area on the front surface for primary information, extends to side surfaces for additional information, and wraps to the back surface for comprehensive coverage. This multi-surface configuration makes the display system adaptable to various information display needs and user viewing positions.
