Integrated LED Display on Roller Shutter for Security and Advertising
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current security closures with LED displays for advertising purposes are often installed separately on windows or premises, obscuring views and being prone to damage, lacking integration with the closure mechanism.
Innovation Solution
A transparent security closure with an integrated LED display that moves with the protective barrier, allowing for seamless deployment and storage, and featuring a roller shutter with elongated slats and openings for enhanced visibility and strength, along with anti-vandalism film and communication capabilities for dynamic advertising and security monitoring.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If LED displays are installed separately on windows or premises, then advertising visibility is improved, but the display obscures parts of the premises window display and is prone to damage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the LED display with the roller shutter closure by integrating it into the lower section of the shutter assembly. The display is mounted on the shutter blade or frame, causing it to move synchronously with the shutter. This merging eliminates the need for separate fixed installations, reduces damage risk through integrated protection, and maintains advertising visibility while allowing upper window areas to remain clear for product displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The display is designed to move dynamically with the roller shutter closure. When the shutter retracts, the display moves to a lower position where it can be effectively viewed; when the shutter extends for security, the display moves with it, maintaining its functional position. This dynamic positioning allows the display to adapt to different operational states of the shutter, optimizing both security and advertising functions without permanent obstruction.
2Reliability
If a protective barrier is extended over the structure, then security is improved, but visibility through the closure is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The roller shutter is designed with selective transparency - the upper portion consists of transparent or translucent panels that allow visibility into the premises for displaying products and maintaining natural light, while the lower portion contains the LED display and provides opaque protection. This local differentiation of transparency allows the closure to simultaneously provide security where needed and visibility where commercially beneficial.
Solution Approach 2:
The shutter blade is segmented into multiple sections with different optical properties. The upper segments are transparent/translucent for visibility, while the lower segment integrates the LED display and provides opaque protection. This segmentation allows each portion of the shutter to fulfill its specific function - visibility in the upper area and security/advertising in the lower area.
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
The solution provides an integrated, durable, and secure advertising display that maintains visibility through the closure, enhances security with sensors and communication, and prevents damage while allowing for dynamic content updates.

AI summary
A security closure for a structure is provided. The security closure comprising: a protective barrier comprising a plurality of openings, movable between a retracted position where the structure is exposed and a protected position where the protective barrier extends over at least a portion of the structure; and an illuminated display between the protective barrier and the structure visible through the openings. The illuminated display is arranged to move with the protective barrier between the retracted position and the protected position.
