Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional light-emitting assemblies have a limited viewing angle, restricting the utilization and efficiency of display devices, particularly in applications requiring double-sided image display, which often necessitates mounting two screens back to back, increasing costs and resource wastage.

Innovation Solution

A light-emitting assembly with a lamp bead, mounting plate, and shading face mask, featuring light emergence holes on two sides, reflecting surfaces, and a transparent block made of light-transmitting glass for expanded viewing angles and flexible light direction, allowing light to be emitted from both sides and enhancing the display device's functionality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single-faced display device is used, then the structure is simple and cost is low, but the viewing angle is limited and utilization rate is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angleVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces light emergence holes on multiple side faces (front, rear, and lateral faces) of the lamp bead shading face mask, transforming the light emission from a single-direction (front-only) to multi-directional (three-dimensional) distribution. This enables viewers to observe the display from various angles including front, rear, and side views, effectively expanding the viewing angle without requiring multiple display devices.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If two screens are mounted back to back for double-faced display, then double-sided image display demand is met, but input cost increases and resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedouble-sided display capabilityVSAvoidnumber of display devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables a single display device to perform multiple functions by providing light emergence holes on both front and rear sides of the lamp bead shading face mask. This allows the same display device to serve as both a front-facing and back-facing display simultaneously, eliminating the need for two separate display devices and reducing resource consumption while meeting double-sided display requirements.

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

3Illumination intensity

If light is emitted only from the front face, then the structure is simple, but the viewing angle cannot exceed 160° and viewing quality is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing qualityVSAvoidlight emission structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the light emission function into multiple independent channels by creating light emergence holes on different side faces (front, rear, and lateral faces) of the lamp bead shading face mask. Each face can independently emit light, allowing viewers from different positions to observe the display with optimal viewing quality. This segmentation of light emission paths resolves the limitation of single-directional viewing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
