Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display technology does not leverage modular design to provide seamless and borderless display across multiple surfaces, leading to gaps and distortions in image presentation.
Innovation Solution
An electronic display system with first and second display surfaces, each having flat and edge portions, controlled by a computer to render display images seamlessly across both surfaces, utilizing sensors and cameras to adjust image rendering based on geometric and ocular positions, ensuring continuous image flow and minimizing distortions.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If display technology uses modular design with multiple display surfaces, then the display area and versatility are improved, but gaps and distortions occur in image presentation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple display surfaces (first display surface with first flat and first curved portions, second display surface with second flat and second curved portions) into a unified display system. The computer controls emissive elements across all surfaces to present a continuous display image without gaps, effectively combining separate modular displays into a seamless whole while maintaining the benefits of modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different geometric characteristics to different portions of the display surfaces. The first display surface includes a first flat portion and a first curved portion, while the second display surface includes a second flat portion and a second curved portion. This local differentiation allows each region to be optimized for its specific viewing requirements while contributing to the overall seamless image presentation.
2Shape
If display surfaces are made non-coplanar with flat and edge portions, then the display geometry and viewing angles are improved, but image distortion occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of emissive elements on non-coplanar display surfaces. The computer adjusts the presentation of the display image in response to changing geometric positions and ocular positions, allowing the system to adapt to different viewing conditions. This dynamic adjustment compensates for the inherent distortions introduced by non-coplanar geometries, maintaining image quality across varied display configurations.
3Ease of operation
If the system dynamically adjusts image rendering based on geometric and ocular positions, then the viewing experience is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where sensors detect geometric positions and ocular positions, and this information feeds back to the computer for dynamic adjustment of image rendering. The system continuously monitors viewing conditions and adjusts the display accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that optimizes the viewing experience while managing complexity through intelligent automation.

AI summary
An electronic display system comprises first and second display surfaces and a computer. Each of the first and second display surfaces is configured to receive and transmit display light from an emissive element. Each of the first and second display surfaces includes both a flat portion and an edge portion non-coplanar to the flat portion. The computer is configured to control the emissive elements of the first and second display surfaces so as to present a first section of a display image on the first display surface and a second section of the display image on the second display surface. In this example, one or more rows of the display image rendered on the flat portion of a display surface are rendered duplicatively on an edge portion.
