Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional hologram display technology is used to generate 3D content, then full realism and wavefront reconstruction are achieved, but device complexity and data processing requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefull realismVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the holographic display system into multiple sub-pixels (red, green, blue channels) arranged in specific patterns. Each sub-pixel handles a portion of the wavefront reconstruction, allowing complex holographic content to be generated through coordinated operation of simpler individual elements, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining full realism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a temporal dimension by sequentially activating different sub-pixel groups for left and right eyes at different time intervals. This time-multiplexed approach allows binocular 3D holographic display without requiring simultaneous complex optical paths for both eyes, reducing spatial device complexity while preserving full realism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If interactive capabilities are added to hologram display, then user engagement improves, but system complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates sensors that detect user presence, gaze direction, and interaction gestures, providing real-time feedback to the holographic display system. This feedback mechanism enables the system to dynamically adjust holographic content presentation without requiring complex manual controls, improving adaptability while managing system complexity through automated sensor-based control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The holographic display system automatically adjusts content parameters such as viewing angle, focal depth, and image position based on sensor-detected user characteristics and behavior. This self-adjusting capability provides interactive functionality without requiring complex user interface components, enhancing versatility while minimizing additional system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If binocular hologram data is generated for wide viewing angle, then viewing comfort improves, but data processing time and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing comfortVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs periodic time-multiplexed activation of left-eye and right-eye holographic data, displaying alternating frames at high temporal frequency. This periodic approach creates the perception of simultaneous binocular display, providing wide viewing angle and viewing comfort while reducing computational load by processing and displaying data sequentially rather than simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent selectively activates only the necessary sub-pixel groups for current viewing conditions, displaying full-resolution holographic data only when needed while using reduced data sets for other time intervals. This partial action approach maintains viewing comfort during critical display periods while reducing average data processing time and computational load

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
