Solution Overview

Problem

Current flexible display devices offer only single forms of bending or spreading, leading to aesthetic fatigue during display operations as they fail to provide a vivid visual experience.

Innovation Solution

A flexible display device with a movable second end of the flexible display screen, powered by a device that allows the screen to swing, enhancing the display effect by providing a more dynamic and visually engaging experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the flexible display screen is fixed in a single position, then the device structure is simple and stable, but the display effect is单调 and causes aesthetic fatigue

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoiddisplay effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The flexible display screen is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to swing between different positions (spread state and bent state). This dynamic capability transforms the display from a static,单调 presentation to a dynamic, engaging visual experience, directly resolving the contradiction between structural simplicity and display versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the flexible display screen is made movable to enhance display effect, then the visual experience is more vivid, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay effectVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the inherent flexibility of the display screen itself as the moving mechanism. By making the screen thin and flexible, it can naturally swing and bend without requiring complex mechanical support structures, motors, or linkages. This approach achieves the desired dynamic display effect while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Adaptability or versatility

If the flexible display screen swings dynamically, then the display becomes more engaging, but the stability of the display composition decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay effectVSAvoiddisplay composition
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The flexible display screen performs periodic swinging motions between the spread state and bent state, creating a rhythmic, engaging display effect. This controlled periodic movement provides visual interest and engagement while maintaining predictable, stable operation patterns that prevent chaotic or unstable display composition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
