Movable Display Panels With Invisible Support Structures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional visual display systems are limited to two-dimensional, immobile displays, failing to provide an authentic three-dimensional visual experience, which is achieved by incorporating relative movement between display panels and coordinated lighting effects.
Innovation Solution
A visual display device comprising multiple display panels secured to a common support device, allowing independent movement along an axis, with selectively separable and reusable self-aligning features, and integrated lighting effects to create dynamic three-dimensional visuals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If display panels are fixedly attached to support structure, then structural stability is improved, but visual dimensionality and movement capability deteriorate (limited to two dimensions, immobile)
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transitioning from fixed, static display panels to movable panels that can change position and orientation. The display panels are mounted on support structures that enable them to move in three-dimensional space, allowing the system to adapt its visual presentation dynamically during performances while maintaining structural stability through controlled movement mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the display system into multiple independent movable panels rather than a single fixed structure. Each panel can move independently along defined axes, allowing the system to create complex three-dimensional visual arrangements while maintaining individual panel stability through separate support and control mechanisms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If display panels are made movable and independently controllable, then visual dimensionality and entertainment value are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by designing support structures and control systems that can handle multiple display panels with the same mechanisms. The support devices provide standardized mounting and movement capabilities that work across different panel configurations, reducing the need for custom solutions for each panel and thereby managing complexity while enabling three-dimensional movement and high entertainment value.
3Stability of the object's composition
If support structures are made visible to provide structural support, then structural stability is improved, but visual aesthetics deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the support structures visually subtle or invisible where they would be seen, while providing adequate structural support. The support devices are designed to be minimally obtrusive, using materials and configurations that blend with or become invisible against the display panels and background, allowing structural stability without compromising visual aesthetics.

AI summary
A visual display includes a plurality of display panels. Each of the display panels is secured to a common support device and independently movable relative to an axis associated with the common support device. The display panels are positionable in a first position.
