Light Guiding Fiber Border Compensation for Seamless Display Splicing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In large display panels, the borders between adjacent display units can reduce displaying quality when multiple panels are jointed together, as they create non-display regions that are not visible, affecting the overall image presentation.
Innovation Solution
An image compensating apparatus using light guiding fibers is placed along the borders of display panels, which extends the display area by transmitting light from the display region to cover the non-display regions, creating a seamless image without visible borders.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If multiple display panels are jointed together to form large display, then the display size is increased, but the borders between adjacent panels create non-display regions that reduce displaying quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a light guiding fiber structure as an intermediary component positioned at the border between display panels. This structure includes light guiding fibers that extend from the display region into the non-display region, acting as a mediator to transport light across the border area and eliminate the visual impact of panel joints.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extends the display area into the non-display region by utilizing the spatial dimension along the panel border. Light guiding fibers are arranged to extend from the active display region through the border area, effectively utilizing the previously wasted border space to compensate for the visual discontinuity caused by panel joints.
2Manufacturing precision
If the border between display panels is made narrower to reduce non-display regions, then the displaying quality is improved, but the electronic units require sufficient border space for support
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the border region in a new dimension by introducing light guiding fibers that extend into the non-display region. This allows the border to serve dual purposes: maintaining structural support for electronic units while simultaneously functioning as a light transmission channel to compensate for the visual discontinuity.
Solution Approach 2:
The border region is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides structural support for electronic units (original function) and simultaneously serves as a light guiding structure to eliminate visual borders (new function). The light guiding fibers integrated into the border structure enable the border to actively participate in image compensation rather than merely being a passive structural element.
3Device complexity
If the non-display region is extended to cover the border, then the electronic units are supported, but the displaying quality is reduced due to visible borders
Solution Approach 1:
The light guiding fiber structure acts as an intermediary that bridges the display region and the non-display region. It transports light from the display area into the border region, effectively using the non-display region as an extended display area to compensate for the visual discontinuity caused by panel joints.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the previously harmful effect of the non-display region (which created visible borders and reduced displaying quality) into a beneficial element. By introducing light guiding fibers into the non-display region, the border area is transformed from a dead space into an active light transmission channel that helps eliminate visual borders and improve overall displaying quality.
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 enhances the displaying quality by making the display appear frame-less, allowing multiple display panels to be jointed without reducing the overall image quality, effectively eliminating non-display regions and providing a seamless splice.
Implementation Method 1
An image compensating apparatus using light guiding fibers is placed along the borders of display panels, which extends the display area by transmitting light from the display region to cover the non-display regions

AI summary
An apparatus for compensating an image of a display, includes a light incident surface, a light emitting surface, and a plurality of light guiding channels. An area of the light emitting surface is greater than an area of the light incident surface. The plurality of light guiding channels is independent from each other, each light guiding channel extends from the light incident surface to the light emitting surface, and light from the light incident surface is extended to the light emitting surface by the light guiding channels. The present invention further discloses a method for manufacturing the same.
