Flexible Display Touch Sensitivity During Screen Size Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In flexible-type electronic devices, high touch sensitivity during screen size adjustment can lead to erroneous operations, and disabling the touch panel during sliding operations results in unrecognized user inputs.
Innovation Solution
The device adjusts touch sensitivity in response to changes in screen size, applying lower sensitivity during screen size adjustments and restoring normal sensitivity when the change is complete.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a rigid housing structure is used to protect internal components, then mechanical strength and protection are improved, but flexibility and adaptability to curved surfaces deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is divided into a front housing and a rear housing that can rotate relative to each other about a hinge axis. This segmentation allows the housing to adapt to curved surfaces while maintaining mechanical protection, as the two segments can adjust their relative positions independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The hinge mechanism enables dynamic adjustment of the housing configuration. The front and rear housings can rotate relative to each other, allowing the device to transition from a rigid flat configuration to a flexible curved configuration, thus resolving the contradiction between strength and flexibility.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the device maintains a fixed flat configuration, then structural stability is improved, but adaptability to curved surfaces and flexibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The hinge mechanism allows the housing to dynamically adjust between stable flat and flexible curved configurations. When in the flat configuration, structural stability is maintained; when adaptation to curved surfaces is needed, the housings can rotate to achieve the required curvature while maintaining overall structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device can be inserted into a recess of the housing when in the flat configuration, creating a nested arrangement that maintains stability. When flexibility is needed, the display can be pulled out and the housings rotated to curved configurations.
3Volume of moving object
If the display device is always inserted into the recess, then compactness and stability are improved, but accessibility and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The display device can dynamically transition between inserted and extended states. When compactness is prioritized, the display is inserted into the recess. When ease of operation is prioritized, the display can be pulled out for better accessibility, and the hinge mechanism allows smooth transition between these states.
4Ease of manufacture
If the housing is made as a single rigid piece, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but adaptability to different configurations and flexibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The housing is segmented into front and rear portions that can be manufactured separately using standard manufacturing processes, then assembled with a hinge mechanism. This segmentation maintains manufacturing simplicity while enabling configuration flexibility, as each segment can be optimized independently and the hinge allows relative movement.
