Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If traditional two-dimensional display is used, then device simplicity is maintained, but visual demand satisfaction deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual experience qualityVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional display to three-dimensional holographic display by projecting laser beams to create volumetric images in space. The display system uses a laser projector to emit coherent light that forms holographic images floating above the display screen, adding a spatial dimension to the visual experience and satisfying enhanced visual demands.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a photodetector array as an intermediary component between the viewer and the holographic display. These photodetectors detect gesture information from viewers and convert it into control signals, enabling interactive control of the holographic images without requiring physical contact or complex interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Illumination intensity

If holographic projection is added, then visual engagement is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholographic image qualityVSAvoidsystem component count
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen serves multiple functions: it acts as both a traditional two-dimensional display for background images and as a substrate for the holographic projection system. The laser projector is positioned behind the display screen, allowing the same display assembly to provide both 2D and 3D viewing experiences, thereby reducing the need for separate dedicated holographic display components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If gesture recognition is implemented, then interactivity is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegesture control capabilityVSAvoidgesture detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback loop where the photodetector array continuously monitors gesture information from viewers, the processor analyzes these gestures and generates control signals, and the holographic images respond in real-time to the detected gestures. This closed-loop feedback system enables intuitive gesture control while maintaining robustness against measurement variations through continuous adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A display system includes: a display screen having a first display area; a processor configured to modulate laser beams to be emitted from a laser projector according to a pre-stored holographic image data source to obtain modulated laser beams; the laser projector configured to project the modulated laser beams to create a first holographic image in front of the first display area; and at least one photodetector configured to collect first gesture information about a first gesture through which the first holographic image is controlled by a viewer. The processor is further configured to generate a first control signal according to the first gesture information, and re-modulate the laser beams to be emitted from the laser projector, so as to create a second holographic image corresponding to the first control signal.
