Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If multiple display devices are connected to form a large-sized display, then the display size is increased, but image disconnection occurs at connection portions due to non-display regions
Solution Approach 1:
An optical member containing optical fibers is introduced as an intermediary component between adjacent display devices. This optical member transfers images from non-display regions of one display device to non-display regions of adjacent display devices, thereby maintaining image continuity across connection portions while preserving the multi-panel configuration for large-sized display.
2Area of stationary object
If multiple display devices are connected to form a large-sized display, then the display size is increased, but production cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The optical member serves as a cost-effective intermediary solution that enables large-sized display through multi-panel connection without requiring a single expensive large-panel display device. By utilizing optical fiber technology in a modular approach, the system achieves large display area while controlling production costs through standardized components.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple display devices are connected to form a large-sized display, then the display size is increased, but display quality degrades due to signal delay
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces electrical signal transmission with optical signal transmission using optical fibers. This substitution eliminates signal delay issues associated with electrical connections between display devices, thereby maintaining high display quality across large-sized multi-panel configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The optical member acts as an intermediary that transfers images optically rather than electrically, avoiding signal delay problems. The optical fibers transmit light signals carrying image information from one display device to another, preserving display quality without the degradation caused by electrical signal transmission over distance.
