Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing light emitting glass technologies, such as those used in vehicle sunroof glass, produce monotonous visual effects due to fixed laser engraving textures, limiting the variety of visual experiences they can provide.
Innovation Solution
A light emitting assembly with adjustable transparency elements and multiple light sources, allowing for the creation of diverse light emitting images by adjusting the transparency of elements and controlling light emission based on user inputs and environmental information, combined with a light guide structure for precise light transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If laser engraving texture is formed inside the glass to retain light, then light emitting image is formed on the glass, but the visual effect becomes monotonous
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the transparency of light adjustment elements adjustable rather than fixed. The light adjustment elements can dynamically change their transparency state between transparent and opaque, allowing the same physical structure to produce different visual effects (light emitting images or transparent views) based on control signals, thus resolving the contradiction between forming light images and maintaining visual variety
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the transparency parameter of the light adjustment elements to achieve different visual effects. By controlling the transparency parameter of individual elements or groups of elements, the system can switch between displaying light emitting images and maintaining transparency, thereby providing diverse visual effects without requiring multiple fixed structures
2Adaptability or versatility
If transparency of light adjustment elements is adjusted to present different images, then visual effects are enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the light adjustment layer into multiple independent light adjustment elements arranged in an array. Each element can be independently controlled to adjust its transparency, allowing precise control over which areas emit light or remain transparent. This segmentation enables complex visual effects while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure by using identical modular elements throughout
Solution Approach 2:
The light adjustment elements serve multiple functions: they can individually control transparency to create light emitting images, work collectively to form patterns, and switch between transparent and opaque states. This multi-functionality reduces device complexity by using a single type of element for multiple purposes rather than requiring different components for different functions
