Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multi-facet display devices with multiple flat panels suffer from sharp edges and corners at joints, preventing image continuity across different display directions.
Innovation Solution
A multi-facet display device design featuring a first display panel with a U-shaped structure and a planar second display panel, bonded to form a closed structure with an outer surface for continuous image display, incorporating arc surfaces for seamless transitions and optional encasing plates, health monitoring units, and transparent prism structures for optical continuity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple flat display panels are assembled together to form a multi-facet display device, then the display device can show images in multiple directions, but sharp edges and corners appear at the joints between panels, breaking image continuity
Solution Approach 1:
The first display panel is bent into a U-shaped structure with arc surfaces connecting the display region to the side surfaces. This curvature eliminates the sharp edges and corners at the joints between display panels, enabling continuous image display across multiple facets while maintaining multi-directional visibility
2Shape
If a U-shaped display panel with arc surfaces is used to eliminate sharp edges, then image continuity is achieved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is divided into multiple independent display panels (first display panel with U-shaped structure and second display panel with planar structure) that are bonded together. This segmentation allows each panel to be manufactured separately with its specific shape, then assembled to form the complete multi-facet display device, balancing manufacturing feasibility with design complexity
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
The design achieves continuous image display across multiple directions by eliminating sharp edges and corners, enhancing image continuity and allowing for flexible design configurations, including frameless and touch-control capabilities.
Implementation Method 1
a transparent prism structure at least disposed at joints between the side surfaces of the first display panel and side edges of the second display panel, the transparent prism structure being configured for changing directions of emitting lights

AI summary
A multi-facet display device. The multi-facet display device comprises: a first display panel with a U-shaped structure and a second display panel with a planar structure. The first display panel comprises a display region with a planar structure, and two opposed side surfaces each connected with the display region via an arc surface. The two side surfaces of the first display panel are bonded with the two side edges of the second display panel to form a closed structure having an outer surface as a display surface of the multi-facet display device. Compared with a multi-facet display device composed of multiple planar display panels, the multi-facet display device according to present invention can improve image continuity across respective display directions.
