Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If multiple projection systems are arranged to project offset images for 3-D display, then image quality and brightness are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The projection system is segmented into multiple independent projection units, each projecting a portion of the final image. These segmented projection systems work in parallel to create the complete 3-D image, allowing each unit to be simpler while the collective system achieves high brightness and resolution through cooperative projection.
2Measurement precision
If multiple projection systems are used for 3-D image projection, then image resolution is improved, but manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple projection systems are merged into a single integrated 3-D projection apparatus where the individual projection units are combined and coordinated to work together. This merging allows the system to achieve high resolution through the collective output of multiple units while sharing common control and synchronization mechanisms, thereby reducing overall manufacturing complexity and cost.
3Measurement precision
If projection systems dynamically adjust to viewer position, then image quality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The projection system incorporates feedback mechanisms that detect viewer position and automatically adjust the projection parameters accordingly. The system receives feedback about viewer location and uses this information to dynamically modify the offset between projected images, ensuring optimal 3-D image quality without requiring complex manual adjustment mechanisms.
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
This approach simplifies the projection of 3-D images, reduces costs, and improves image quality by enabling cooperative image projection that adjusts dynamically to viewer position, resulting in a brighter and more resolved 3-D image.
Implementation Method 1
A MEMS micro-mirror device directs the light of the laser light source to a projection surface and reproduces the image, or the video, pixel-by-pixel. By means of its oscillations, the micro-mirror within the device will continuously scan from left to right and from top to bottom
