Solution Overview

Problem

Current wearable items with displays, such as backpacks and bags, face issues with operational reliability due to deformation, limited image quality, and difficulty in washing, as well as being restricted to rigid structures that are not popular among consumers, limiting their commercial use and effectiveness in displaying dynamic advertising material.

Innovation Solution

A user wearable device with a flexible film OLED panel integrated into a soft backpack, connected to a microprocessor BLUETOOTH controller and a power unit, allowing for wireless communication and operation within a pocket that can be closed for protection, enabling high-quality dynamic video and color graphics display without breaking under external loads and facilitating easy cleaning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If rigid flatbed displays are attached to wearable items, then high image quality is achieved, but the wearable item must have rigid structure which limits popularity and commercial use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidwearable item popularity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a flexible display that can be attached to soft wearable items like backpacks and bags without requiring rigid structure. The flexible display maintains high image quality while adapting to the deformable surface of soft materials, resolving the contradiction between image quality and wearable item versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables the display to dynamically adapt to the changing shape and deformation of soft wearable items during use. The display flexes and conforms to the item's surface as it moves and deforms, maintaining functionality and image quality across different configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Manufacturing precision

If rigid flatbed displays are used in wearable items, then high image quality is achieved, but operational reliability decreases due to breaking under external loads

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidoperational reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The flexible display is made of soft, elastic material that can withstand external loads and deformations without breaking. Unlike rigid flatbed displays that fracture under stress, the flexible display stretches and bends with the wearable item, maintaining operational reliability while preserving image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Manufacturing precision

If rigid flatbed displays are attached to wearable items, then high image quality is achieved, but difficulty in washing increases due to complex structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidwashing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The flexible display is designed as a separate, detachable module that can be easily removed from the wearable item for washing. This segmentation allows the display to be cleaned independently without disassembling complex internal structures, making maintenance simpler while preserving high image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

4Ease of manufacture

If LED lamps are used in soft wearable items, then ease of manufacture is improved, but image quality deteriorates due to low resolution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a flexible display with high pixel density that can be manufactured for soft wearable items. This flexible display technology provides both ease of integration into soft materials and high image quality, overcoming the limitations of low-resolution LED matrix displays while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films
