Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices face challenges in creating large, seamless, and attention-grabbing displays that can be easily maintained and controlled, with limitations in power efficiency and design flexibility, particularly when displaying images along curved surfaces or in ring forms.
Innovation Solution
A display system comprising flexible display panels with overlapping regions that transmit visible light, allowing for curved and interconnected designs, combined with a power receiving device using magnetic resonance for efficient power feeding, and a frame with adjustable shape to accommodate multiple display units, enabling seamless image display and efficient power management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If display devices are increased in size and arranged to display seamlessly, then the advertising effect and attention are increased, but the device complexity and power management difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into multiple independent display panels (first display panel, second display panel, third display panel) that can be separately manufactured, controlled, and maintained. Each panel has its own non-display region for independent connection, reducing overall system complexity while achieving large seamless display area through their arrangement.
2Adaptability or versatility
If display panels are made flexible and curved to overlap, then design flexibility and advertising effect are improved, but manufacturing precision and reliability challenges increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display panels are designed with flexible substrates that can be curved and bent to overlap with each other. This flexibility allows the panels to be arranged in various configurations (flat, curved, overlapping) to achieve different design effects while maintaining connection through their non-display regions, which are positioned to overlap when curved.
3Reliability
If non-display regions are reduced to improve durability, then reliability is improved, but power feeding efficiency and ease of maintenance worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The non-display regions serve multiple functions: they provide structural connection between adjacent display panels, serve as pathways for power and signal connections, and enable flexible arrangement of panels. By positioning non-display regions to overlap when panels are curved or arranged, the system achieves both durability (through reduced exposed non-display regions) and efficient power feeding (through overlapping connection regions).
