Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional luminous devices integrated into false walls and ceilings primarily offer two-dimensional aesthetic effects, lacking the ability to create depth and relief.
Innovation Solution
A luminous multilayer device comprising internal and external walls made of transparent or translucent flexible fabrics with printed patterns, along with optional intermediate walls, creating a superimposed image that provides the illusion of three-dimensional relief by using a light source and adjustable attachment mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If a single translucent canvas is used in conventional light boxes, then the device structure is simple, but the aesthetic effect is limited to two dimensions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from a single two-dimensional canvas to multiple layered canvases (typically three layers) with different patterns. Each layer contributes to the overall visual effect, creating a three-dimensional aesthetic appearance through the superposition of patterns and varying translucency levels, thereby resolving the contradiction between aesthetic dimensionality and structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements nesting by placing multiple canvases within the same light box structure, where each canvas is positioned at different depths and contains distinct patterns. The canvases are nested within the light-tight enclosure, with each layer contributing to the composite visual effect when illuminated, allowing complex aesthetic effects while maintaining a compact device structure.
2Loss of information
If multiple patterns are superimposed to create three-dimensional effect, then the visual depth is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
By adding the dimension of depth through multiple layered canvases positioned at different distances from the light source, the patent enhances visual depth information. Each layer's pattern interacts with light and other layers to create perception of depth, relief, and three-dimensionality, thereby reducing loss of visual depth information while managing complexity through systematic layering.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses composite material principles by combining multiple canvases with different translucency properties and patterns within a single light box. Each canvas acts as a component material with specific optical characteristics, and their combination creates a composite visual effect that provides rich visual depth information while organizing complexity through functional material differentiation.
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 device achieves a three-dimensional aesthetic effect by allowing light to pass through the internal and external walls, enhancing the visual depth and creating a more engaging visual experience.
Implementation Method 1
a first so-called internal wall (16) consisting of a flexible web (17) comprising a transparent or translucent stretch fabric and provided with at least one pattern printed on its surface and a second so-called outer wall (19) consisting of a flexible web (19) comprising a transparent or translucent stretch fabric and provided with at least one pattern printed on its surface
Data Source
AI summary
The device (1) has an inner wall placed between an outer wall and a luminous source (14) e.g. bulb. The inner wall is formed of flexible sheet comprising a transparent or translucent extensible cloth (17) provided with a printed pattern printed on surface. The outer wall is formed of flexible sheet comprising a transparent or translucent extensible cloth (19) provided with printed pattern on surface. An intermediate wall is placed between the inner and outer walls. The flexible sheets are fixed to an inner stringer (16), an outer stringer (21) and an exterior stringer (22).
