Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If display panels are arranged to form a large display area, then the advertising effectiveness and attention are increased, but the device complexity and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into multiple flexible display panels that can be independently controlled and arranged. Each panel can be addressed separately through the flexible printed circuit board, allowing the large display area to be managed as multiple smaller units, thus reducing overall system complexity while maintaining large display capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible printed circuit board is folded back and nested within the display structure, with connection terminals extending from the rear surface. This nesting approach consolidates the connection infrastructure within the existing panel boundaries, avoiding additional external complexity while supporting multiple panels.
2Adaptability or versatility
If flexible display panels are curved to display images along a curved surface, then the adaptability and advertising impact are enhanced, but the manufacturing precision and reliability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The display panels utilize flexible substrates and thin-film structures that inherently can bend and conform to curved surfaces without compromising their functional integrity. This flexibility is built into the panel construction, allowing curved surface adaptation while maintaining manufacturing precision through standardized flexible panel production techniques.
Solution Approach 2:
The design explicitly embraces curved geometries by using flexible panels that can be bent to match the desired curved surface. The flexible printed circuit board and connection terminals are configured to accommodate this curvature, ensuring reliable electrical connections even when the display is in a bent state, thus maintaining manufacturing precision in curved configurations.
3Area of stationary object
If transparent regions of panels are overlapped to reduce non-display areas, then the display area is increased, but the power feeding efficiency and reliability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The connection terminals extend from the rear surface of the flexible printed circuit board in a direction perpendicular to the display surface. This three-dimensional arrangement allows electrical connections to be made without interfering with the overlapping transparent regions of adjacent panels, thus maintaining power feeding reliability while achieving seamless display area expansion through panel overlap.
