Solution Overview

Problem

Existing spherical LED display screens have issues with incomplete coverage due to end points, complex structure design, and increased installation difficulties due to varying shapes and high design costs.

Innovation Solution

A polyhedral LED display screen composed of multiple cabinet main frames with flexible PCBs, where each frame is magnetically connected and forms a regular dodecahedron structure, eliminating end points and simplifying installation with uniform polygon shapes and through holes for screws.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a sphere is divided into two hemispheres and then each hemisphere is divided longitudinally according to multiple latitudes, then the spherical display screen can be constructed, but there will be end points that cannot be completely covered by LED modules, affecting display effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay effectVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The spherical display screen is segmented into multiple identical cabinet main frames, each forming a regular polygon (e.g., regular pentagon). These standardized segments are arranged to form a polyhedral structure (such as regular dodecahedron) that approximates a sphere, eliminating the endpoint problem while maintaining structural regularity and simplifying the design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If each hemisphere is divided longitudinally according to multiple latitudes, then the spherical cabinet can be formed, but shapes of the LED modules become different, greatly increasing design cost and installation difficulty

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay coverageVSAvoiddesign cost and installation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs homogeneous cabinet main frames where each unit is identical in shape and structure (regular polygons). This homogeneity ensures that all LED modules have the same shape and configuration, greatly simplifying the design process, reducing design costs, and making installation much easier as standardized components can be uniformly manufactured and installed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

Solution Approach 2:

Each cabinet main frame is designed as a universal, standardized unit that can be repeatedly used throughout the spherical structure. The identical polygonal design allows each module to serve the same function and be installed in the same manner, creating a universal building block approach that reduces both design complexity and installation difficulty.

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

3Area of stationary object

If the spherical cabinet is assembled with different shaped LED modules, then coverage can be achieved, but the installation difficulty is greatly increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay surface coverageVSAvoidinstallation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display surface is segmented into multiple identical polygonal cabinet main frames that are systematically arranged to form the spherical structure. This segmentation into uniform units eliminates the need for custom-shaped modules, allowing standardized installation procedures to be applied throughout the entire structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

By using homogeneous cabinet main frames with identical polygonal shapes, the patent ensures that all LED modules are uniform in form. This homogeneity dramatically simplifies installation as workers can use the same installation procedures for every module without needing to adapt to varying shapes, thereby reducing installation difficulty while maintaining complete display surface coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity
