Flexible Display Controller for Dynamic Content Rearrangement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a mobile terminal that efficiently utilizes a display of varying size, particularly in a foldable or rollable format, to enhance portability and usability while maintaining visibility and usability of images and icons across different display configurations.
Innovation Solution
A mobile terminal with a flexible display that can be bent, rolled, or folded, featuring a controller that manages the display of images and icons across multiple areas, allowing for efficient use of space and improved visibility by rearranging content based on the display's size changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a display size is increased to provide a larger screen, then the display area is improved, but the portability of the mobile terminal deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display size is made dynamic and changeable rather than fixed. The controller adjusts the display size between a first size and a second size based on usage scenarios, allowing the terminal to provide a large screen when needed while maintaining a compact form for portability. This is achieved through software-controlled display parameter adjustment without physical modification to the terminal structure.
2Length of moving object
If a display size is changed to enhance portability, then the terminal size is reduced, but the visibility of displayed content deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display parameters such as size, resolution, and refresh rate are dynamically adjusted based on the operational mode. When the terminal is in a portable configuration, the display parameters are optimized to maintain visibility and usability. The controller modifies these parameters in real-time to ensure content remains clearly visible regardless of the current display size configuration.
3Area of stationary object
If icons and images are displayed in the same area, then the display area utilization is improved, but the visibility and usability of icons deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into multiple regions with different functions. One region is dedicated to displaying images or content while another separate region is allocated for icons and control elements. This spatial segmentation ensures that icons remain clearly visible and easily accessible without being obscured by image content, while still utilizing the overall display area efficiently.
