Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital display devices lack the capability to display high-resolution, moving images that traverse edges seamlessly between screens, creating a holographic impression, and are not suitable for outdoor use or displaying collections of images effectively.

Innovation Solution

A digital display device with extremely high resolution screens, capable of displaying still and moving images that can travel across edges, available in various shapes such as cubes, hexagons, or rectangles, with waterproof and transparent options, using LED or LCD displays, and equipped with wireless data transmission and solar power, allowing for outdoor use and holographic image creation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If conventional digital display devices are used, then basic image display is achieved, but the ability to display high-resolution moving images that traverse edges seamlessly is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage resolution and edge traversal qualityVSAvoidcapability to display moving images across multiple screens
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display system is divided into multiple separate display units (first display unit, second display unit, etc.) that can be independently controlled. Each display unit shows a portion of the overall image, allowing the image to be segmented across multiple screens while maintaining continuity through coordinated control of each segment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple display units are merged into a unified visual experience where images traverse seamlessly across the edges of individual displays. The control unit coordinates all display units to create a continuous holographic-like image that appears to move through the device, combining the capabilities of separate displays into a cohesive whole.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional display devices are used, then indoor display is achieved, but outdoor use is not suitable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutdoor usabilityVSAvoidperformance in outdoor environments
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The display units are designed with adjustable parameters including brightness, contrast, and color temperature that can be modified based on environmental conditions. The control unit automatically adjusts these parameters to maintain optimal display performance whether the device is used indoors or outdoors, adapting to varying lighting and environmental conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional display devices are used, then single-screen display is achieved, but the ability to show collections of images across multiple screens is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-screen image collection displayVSAvoidnumber of display units and coordination system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each display unit is designed with universal functionality to display various types of content including still images, moving images, and holographic projections. The control unit manages all display units uniformly, allowing the system to present collections of images across multiple screens while maintaining consistent control and coordination throughout the entire device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

This invention is preferably a cube-shaped digital display device. The device displays digital images on five sides of the cube. In other embodiments the device could be shaped like a hexagon with six sides, each containing a screen or like a rectangle with three rectangular screens, the fourth being the base, and two square screens, one on each end or the invention may be spherical with one spherical screen. These embodiments may also contain speakers to play sounds. Each screen consists of an extremely high resolution LED or LCD display, especially suited to display non-fungible tokens (NFT's), but also will display a variety of moving and still images including videos, animations, cartoons and GIF's, as well as drawings, figures and photographs. Three dimensional images and virtual reality images may also be displayed The device may sit on a surface, be affixed to the top of a pole, be attached to a wall or may hang like a chandelier. The device may be constructed in a large variety of sizes depending on the intent of the user. Images may wrap around edges, bleeding across screens to travel across edges and appear to travel continuously through the device. The present invention is especially suitable to display advertising, images designed to promote one or more products. Constructing the device to be waterproof would enable use of the device out of doors. The screens may also be constructed to be transparent, revealing the interior of the device (the “skeleton” option).Data and images may be stored in memory on the device, or may be transmitted by wires or wirelessly through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular, SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) Card or other similar means. The device may be powered by AC current, batteries or even solar.
