Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a flexible display screen that includes a detection portion to detect positional data and an arithmetic portion to calculate the three-dimensional shape of the display screen, allowing objects to be displayed moving according to a given law in accordance with the calculated shape, thereby enhancing the user experience by utilizing the flexibility of the display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible display screen is used in a portable electronic device, then the device achieves flexibility and adaptability, but the display content remains flat and fails to fully utilize the flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional flat display to three-dimensional curved surface display by detecting the bent shape of the flexible display screen and mapping display objects onto the three-dimensional curved surface, thereby fully utilizing the flexibility of the display screen
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the display content dynamic by allowing it to change according to the real-time bent shape of the flexible display screen. The arithmetic portion dynamically calculates and updates the three-dimensional shape and object positions based on detected positional data, enabling the display to adapt to various flexed states
2Device complexity
If the display content is kept simple and flat, then the device structure remains simple, but the synergistic effect of flexibility and multifunctionality is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical structures with software-based solutions. Instead of using mechanical components to create three-dimensional display effects, the invention uses detection portions to sense the flexible display's shape and arithmetic portions to calculate and render objects on the curved surface through software processing
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the display parameters from fixed two-dimensional coordinates to dynamic three-dimensional coordinates that adapt to the flexible display's bent shape. The arithmetic portion calculates new position parameters for display objects based on the detected curvature, enabling the display to maintain proper geometry across different flexed states
