Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional digital hologram display technology is used, then a sense of immersion can be provided, but image quality degrades due to noise and long generation time
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the display into two distinct modules: a holographic display module for generating digital holograms and a background display module for showing background images. This segmentation allows each module to be optimized independently, with the holographic module focusing on immersion and the background module providing high-quality, noise-free imagery that can be selectively combined based on depth map analysis
Solution Approach 2:
A combiner module acts as an intermediary between the holographic display module and background display module. It uses depth map information as a mediator to intelligently select and combine background images with digital holograms, filtering out noise and optimizing image quality while preserving the immersive holographic effect
2Manufacturing precision
If background processing is performed to enhance hologram quality, then image clarity improves, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing background images and organizing them in a background display module before they are needed. Depth maps are analyzed in advance to identify suitable background images, so that when hologram generation is complete, high-clarity backgrounds can be immediately combined without adding processing time to the critical hologram generation path
3Device complexity
If a single display module is used, then device complexity is reduced, but the ability to adjust depth and background independently is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamics by making the background display movable along the optical path and allowing the convex lens position to be adjusted. This enables independent control of background image depth and size, providing adaptability for different viewing conditions and holographic content while maintaining a relatively simple overall device structure
