Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If a glass display wall is used for displaying advertisements and visual effects, then the display function and aesthetic effect are improved, but the energy consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The solar panel is integrated into the display wall structure to generate electricity autonomously from sunlight, enabling the system to power itself and significantly reducing external energy consumption for display operations
Solution Approach 2:
The display wall structure serves multiple functions: it provides the display function for advertisements and visual effects, while simultaneously incorporating solar panels to generate electricity, making the system both a display device and a power generation device
2Use of energy by moving object
If a solar panel is integrated with the display device to provide power, then energy consumption is reduced, but the structural complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The solar panel and display device are merged into a single integrated structure where the solar panel is laminated with the display device, combining power generation and display functions in one unified component rather than separate systems
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated structure serves dual purposes: the solar panel generates electricity to power the display device, while the combination maintains the aesthetic and functional requirements of the display wall, reducing the need for separate power supply infrastructure
3Illumination intensity
If a transparent solar panel and transparent display device are used, then transparency is improved, but the manufacturing difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses transparent solar panel materials and transparent display device materials that can be laminated together, creating a composite structure that maintains optical transparency while enabling both power generation and display functions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs lamination technology to combine the transparent solar panel and transparent display device in a layered structure, allowing both components to maintain their transparency properties while being integrated into a single functional unit
