Modular Display Assembly for Portable Gaming
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The Nintendo Switch Console cannot simultaneously enjoy high picture quality in 'TV mode' and portability, as it requires an indoor power supply in 'TV mode' and lacks portability when using 'handheld mode' due to differences in picture quality.
Innovation Solution
A modular assembled display assembly that includes a display screen component and a multifunctional component with a battery and power interface, allowing the Switch game console to operate in 'TV mode' without an indoor power supply and switch to a 'handheld state' for portable use, featuring a combination of Type-C electrical connectors, video transmitters, and a stand for versatile usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If Switch console uses TV mode with external display, then picture quality is improved, but portability deteriorates due to requirement of indoor power supply
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into a portable display unit with integrated battery and a docking station. The portable display unit can function independently away from the docking station, providing TV mode picture quality without requiring indoor power supply, thus resolving the contradiction between picture quality and portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable display unit serves multiple functions: it acts as an external display for TV mode when connected to the docking station, and as a standalone portable monitor when disconnected. This multi-functionality allows the system to maintain high picture quality while achieving portability, as the display unit can operate in both connected and disconnected states.
2Adaptability or versatility
If Switch console uses handheld mode, then portability is improved, but picture quality deteriorates compared to TV mode
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the high-quality display function into an independent portable display unit, the system allows users to enjoy TV mode picture quality in a portable form factor. The handheld console connects to this external display, providing enhanced picture quality while maintaining the portability of handheld mode.
3Adaptability or versatility
If portable display monitor is carried for travel, then portability is maintained, but requirement of indoor power supply still exists
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply function is extracted from the display system by integrating a battery into the portable display unit. This allows the display to operate independently without requiring connection to indoor power supply, achieving true portability and power supply independence for travel scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The portable display unit is designed to function in two modes: connected mode where it receives power and data from the docking station, and disconnected mode where it operates independently on battery power. This dual-mode operation ensures reliability and eliminates the requirement for indoor power supply during travel.
