Layered Backlit Display Assembly for Dynamic Color Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display assemblies for art and advertising lack the ability to dynamically change the color or intensity of displayed images effectively, limiting their visual appeal and engagement.
Innovation Solution
A backlit display assembly comprising multiple panels with transparent and opaque sections, combined with a light source emitting different colors, allows for selective control of light passage through the panels to alter the color and intensity of displayed images, using a CMYK color scheme and RGB LEDs to create a range of hues and shades.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple panels with transparent and opaque sections are used, then color and intensity control is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display assembly is divided into multiple panels (first panel, second panel, third panel) with different transparency and color properties. Each panel can be independently designed with transparent portions and opaque portions, allowing selective light passage and color filtering to achieve dynamic color and intensity control.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention adds a dimensional aspect by stacking multiple panels in layers rather than using a single flat display surface. This multi-layer structure enables complex color and intensity modulation through the combination of different transparent and opaque sections across multiple dimensions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If light source emits different colors, then visual appeal is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light source is configured to emit different colors of light, and the multiple panels with varying transparency and color properties work together to produce a range of displayed colors. This allows the display to change colors dynamically without requiring separate light sources for each color.
Solution Approach 2:
A single multi-color light source serves multiple functions by emitting different colors that are then selectively filtered by the various panel configurations. This universal light source replaces what would otherwise require multiple single-color light sources, reducing overall energy consumption.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables dynamic color changes and intensity adjustments in displayed images, enhancing visual appeal and engagement by allowing various elements to change color or shades over time, while maintaining a consistent background color.
Implementation Method 1
light from the light source passes through the first transparent portion of both the first panel and the second panel
Implementation Method 2
an opaque portion so that light from the light source does not pass through a corresponding portion of the first panel
Data Source
AI summary
A display assembly having a first backlit display including a first panel with a first color image formed thereon, the first color image including a first transparent portion of a first color and a second transparent portion of a second color, a second panel including a first transparent portion of a first color and an opaque portion so that light from the light source does not pass through a corresponding portion of the first panel, and a light source that emits at least a first color light and a second color light, wherein the first color of the first transparent portion of the first panel is a different color than the first color of the first transparent portion of the second panel, and light from the light source passes through the first transparent portions of both the first panel and the second panel.
