Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display devices lack the ability to effectively create stereoscopic visual effects using multiple overlapped images, which limits their capability to provide immersive and depth-rich visual experiences.
Innovation Solution
A multi-image display device is designed with a combination of mirror and transparent display panels inclined at specific angles, where the mirror panel reflects one image to create a background effect and the transparent panel transmits another image, allowing for depth differences that enhance the perception of stereoscopic images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If multiple display panels are overlapped to create stereoscopic images, then visual depth and immersion are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple display panels (first display panel, second display panel, and third display panel) into a single integrated multi-image display device. The panels are overlapped and positioned at specific angles to work together as one system, creating stereoscopic images through coordinated reflection and transmission of light. This merging approach achieves the visual depth effect while managing complexity through unified design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces spatial dimensionality by positioning display panels at different angles (first angle and second angle) and using reflection and transmission properties. The first display panel reflects images while the second panel transmits images, creating depth perception through three-dimensional light path arrangement. This dimensional approach enables stereoscopic visualization without requiring complex electronic processing.
2Illumination intensity
If display panels are positioned at inclined angles to create depth perception, then stereoscopic visual effects are improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs asymmetric positioning of display panels with different inclination angles. The first display panel is positioned at a first angle relative to the second display panel, while the third display panel is positioned at a second angle. This asymmetric angular arrangement creates the necessary depth perception for stereoscopic images while providing clear geometric relationships that can be manufactured with standard precision tolerances.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different optical properties to different regions of the display system. The first display panel has a reflective surface that reflects images, while the second display panel has a transparent surface that transmits images. This local differentiation of optical qualities (reflection vs. transmission) at specific panel locations enables depth perception without requiring complex adjustments across the entire system.

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 device achieves stereoscopic visual effects by creating depth differences between overlapped images, enabling users to perceive a more immersive and three-dimensional visual experience, suitable for applications like automotive clusters.
Implementation Method 1
The second display panel reflects the first image to display a first superposition image in which the second image is superimposed on the first image
Implementation Method 2
The third display panel transmits the first superposition image to display a second superposition image in which the third image is superimposed on the first superposition image

AI summary
A multi-image display device according to example embodiments includes a first display panel configured to output a first image and a second display panel located on a second extension line inclined at a first angle with respect to a first extension line and configured to output a second image. The first extension line is an imaginary line extended from the first display panel along a horizontal direction of the first display panel. The second display panel reflects the first image to display a first superposition image in which the second image is superimposed on the first image.
