Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a foldable electronic device is mounted on a mounting device in a folded state, then the device can be charged and mounted simultaneously, but the available space for utilizing the folded display is limited and narrow
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a 2D folded display to a 3D holographic display by projecting light patterns through a film part. The processor generates hologram content that is projected onto a transparent film, creating a three-dimensional visual experience that extends beyond the physical boundaries of the folded device, effectively adding a spatial dimension to the display capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a film part as an intermediary medium between the electronic device and the user's visual perception. The film part receives light patterns from the device's display and projects them as holographic images in space, acting as a mediator that transforms the limited 2D folded screen output into an expanded 3D visual experience without requiring additional physical space.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a typical mounting device requires the electronic device to be placed on a predetermined position, then mounting and charging can be performed simultaneously, but the device lacks flexibility in mounting orientation and position
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting device is designed with multi-functionality, incorporating both charging capabilities and holographic display projection. The same mounting structure that holds the device for charging also supports the projection of hologram content, allowing the device to serve multiple functions (charging, display, hologram projection) simultaneously without requiring separate mounting positions or orientations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables dynamic content projection onto the film part, where hologram content can be displayed in various orientations and positions in 3D space. The processor can dynamically adjust and project different holographic images, allowing the display orientation to be flexible and adaptive rather than fixed to a single predetermined position.
