Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies do not effectively replicate the paper-like appearance and reduce eye strain, particularly in digital artworks displayed on interactive systems.
Innovation Solution
A display system incorporating a display module with a specific optical structure layer having a glossiness of 4 GU-35 GU and specular component reflectance of 3%-6%, which includes an anti-reflective and anti-glare layer to minimize reflections and enhance the paper-like effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a conventional display module is used to display digital artwork, then the display function is achieved, but the visual appearance does not mimic paper and causes eye fatigue due to strong mirror reflections
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful mirror reflection into a beneficial paper-like effect by controlling the specular component inclusion to be 3%-6% and glossiness to be 4 GU-35 GU. This controlled reflection mimics the natural light scattering of paper surfaces while maintaining readability, transforming the harmful reflection characteristic into a desirable aesthetic and functional property.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the optical properties of the display module surface. By setting the glossiness to 4 GU-35 GU and specular component inclusion to 3%-6%, the display surface achieves a paper-like appearance that reduces eye fatigue while maintaining sufficient readability, thus resolving the contradiction between reducing reflections and preserving readability.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the glossiness of the display surface is reduced to minimize reflections, then eye fatigue is reduced, but the visual appeal and color quality may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the optical parameters by setting glossiness to 4 GU-35 GU and specular component inclusion to 3%-6%. This parameter range achieves an optimal balance: it reduces mirror reflections sufficiently to minimize eye fatigue while preserving enough light scattering and color rendering to maintain visual appeal and color quality, thus resolving the contradiction between reducing eye fatigue and maintaining color quality.
