Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional display panels are used, then the display function is achieved, but photosensitive interaction capability is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephotosensitive interaction capabilityVSAvoidpanel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the display function and photosensitive sensing function into a single integrated panel structure. The photosensitive array is integrated with the display panel, allowing the same device to both display images and detect external light for interaction purposes, thereby achieving photosensitive interaction capability without adding separate independent components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The display panel is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both a display device and a photosensitive sensor. The photosensitive units arranged in an array enable the panel to detect external light and convert it into electrical signals, making the panel universally functional for both visualization and interaction purposes.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If photosensitive units are integrated into the display panel, then remote photosensitive interaction is enabled, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote interaction capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The photosensitive array is segmented into multiple photosensitive units arranged in a grid pattern with specific row and column arrangements. Each photosensitive unit can independently detect light and generate electrical signals. This segmentation allows for modular manufacturing and simplifies the integration process by breaking down the complex photosensitive function into manageable discrete units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If photosensitive array is added to enable light detection, then interaction precision is improved, but device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The photosensitive units are arranged in a two-dimensional array with specific row and column dimensions. This dimensional arrangement enables precise detection of light position by determining which specific photosensitive unit receives the light, converting spatial light information into electrical signals with high precision through the coordinated response of multiple units in the array.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
