Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flexible display technologies do not effectively integrate with wearable articles or covers for objects, limiting their ability to provide dynamic image display and interaction with the user's environment.
Innovation Solution
A flexible display screen system that incorporates a flexible material with embedded or adhered flexible display screens, connected to a computer system that provides image information and controls the display based on sensor signals, allowing for dynamic image display and interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If flexible display screens are integrated with wearable articles or object covers, then adaptability and user interaction are improved, but device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the flexible display screen with the wearable article or object cover into a single integrated unit. The display screen is embedded within or attached to the flexible material, creating a unified structure that maintains flexibility while providing display functionality. This merging approach resolves the technical contradiction by achieving adaptability through integration while managing complexity through unified design rather than separate components.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible display screen system is designed to serve multiple functions: it can be integrated with various wearable articles (clothing, accessories) and object covers, providing both protective coverage and dynamic image display capabilities. The system responds to environmental changes and user interactions, making it adaptable to different contexts and uses. This multi-functionality approach addresses the contradiction by enhancing versatility while the modular design helps manage system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If flexible display screens are integrated with wearable articles or object covers, then user interaction and dynamic image display are improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs flexible display screens and flexible materials that can be conformally integrated with wearable articles and object covers. The flexible nature of both the display screen and the supporting material allows for integration on curved or irregular surfaces without requiring extremely tight tolerances. This approach resolves the manufacturing precision challenge by using inherently flexible components that can accommodate variations in the underlying structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed to be dynamic rather than static, with the flexible display screen capable of bending, flexing, and adapting to movements of the wearable article or object. This dynamic design approach reduces manufacturing precision requirements by allowing the system to self-adjust to positional changes and deformations, rather than requiring fixed, precise alignment that would be difficult to maintain during manufacturing and use.

AI summary
A flexible display screen system and method includes an article that has a flexible material configured to cover at least a portion of a person's anatomy or at least a portion of an object. At least one flexible display screen is secured on the flexible material. A computer system is configured to provide image information for controlling a display of images on the flexible display screen. The computer system is configured to control the display of images on the flexible display screen in response to the sensor signal. The sensor may sense flexing of the flexible display screen or flexible material. Alternatively or in addition, the flexible display screen or flexible material may be controlled to flex, in response to the images displayed on the flexible display screen.
