Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display devices are limited in their ability to be viewed from various positions due to their two-dimensional design, lacking a flexible and three-dimensional shape that allows for versatile viewing angles.
Innovation Solution
A display device comprising a first display unit with a polygonal shape and multiple second display units extending from its sides, each disposed in different planes to form a three-dimensional structure, with edges of adjacent second display units attached to each other, and a manufacturing method involving a planar substrate with laser cutting to create this shape.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional two-dimensional display design is used, then the device structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the user can only view the screen from limited positions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a conventional two-dimensional planar display to a three-dimensional display structure by extending multiple second display units from the sides of a first display unit at different angles. This dimensional change enables users to view the screen from multiple positions and directions, directly resolving the limitation of fixed viewing angles while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through modular assembly of display units.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display units are extended from the first display unit to form a three-dimensional shape, then viewing versatility is improved, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is segmented into a first display unit and multiple second display units that can be independently manufactured and then assembled together. This segmentation allows each display unit to be produced using standard manufacturing processes, and the modular design simplifies the overall assembly process despite the three-dimensional configuration, making the complex structure more manufacturable.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the second display units are disposed in different planes, then the three-dimensional shape is achieved for versatile viewing, but the alignment and attachment precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different structural characteristics to different parts of the display device. The second display units are designed with specific geometric configurations (such as triangular or trapezoidal shapes) that facilitate precise alignment at their edges. These localized structural features enable accurate positioning and attachment of display units in different planes, reducing the overall precision requirements while maintaining the three-dimensional display structure for versatile viewing.
