Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display apparatuses in vehicles face challenges in providing multiple types of content without distracting drivers, requiring improved visibility and usability between different display areas.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a first and second display area of varying sizes, each with specific light emitting elements and lenses, and a low potential line supplying less than high potential power voltage, enhancing visibility and usability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display areas provide different content types, then information diversity is improved, but visibility between display areas deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different voltage potentials to different display areas. Specifically, a first voltage is applied to a first display area showing navigation information while a second voltage is applied to a second display area showing entertainment content. This voltage differentiation creates distinct visual characteristics for each content type, improving the visibility and distinguishability between adjacent display areas while maintaining content diversity.
2Ease of operation
If display apparatus provides entertainment content, then user engagement is improved, but driver concentration deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by applying different voltage potentials to different display areas based on content type. Entertainment content is displayed in a second display area with a second voltage that creates visual characteristics less distracting to drivers, while navigation information in a first display area uses a first voltage for high visibility. This spatial and electrical differentiation allows the system to provide engaging entertainment content while maintaining driver focus on critical navigation information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses voltage potential as an intermediary to mediate between different content requirements. By controlling the voltage applied to each display area, the system can modulate the visual output characteristics to balance user engagement with driver safety. The voltage acts as a control parameter that adjusts display properties to reduce harmful distractions while maintaining useful information display.
