Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If modular display panels are installed in a fixed frame, then the video screen can be displayed, but the system cannot be readily moved and requires complex installation

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveportabilityVSAvoidinstallation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video screen is divided into multiple modular display panels that can be independently handled and assembled. Each panel is a self-contained unit with integrated mounting features, allowing the overall system to be segmented into manageable sections that can be transported and reconfigured easily.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The modular display panels are designed to nest within each other or within a compact transport case when not in use. This nesting arrangement reduces the overall volume during transport while maintaining the full display configuration when deployed, enabling portability without sacrificing display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Area of stationary object

If multiple individual display panels are ganged together, then a large video display can be created, but the system requires expertise to configure and coordinate installation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple display panels are merged into a unified modular system with standardized connection interfaces. The panels are designed to work together as an integrated unit, combining their individual functions to create a large-scale display while simplifying the overall installation process through unified mounting mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The modular display panels are designed with universal mounting features and standardized interfaces that can be used across all panels regardless of size or position. This multi-functionality allows the same panel design to be used in various configurations and locations, reducing the need for specialized installation procedures.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If the video screen is made portable and foldable, then it can be moved to different locations, but the alignment and connection of panels must be precise to avoid damage

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproverelocatabilityVSAvoidpanel alignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Alignment guides and positioning features are pre-integrated into the modular panel design before installation. These preliminary alignment mechanisms ensure that panels automatically align correctly during the assembly process, eliminating the need for complex post-installation adjustments and preventing damage during connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Alignment guides serve as intermediary elements between the modular display panels during assembly. These guides mediate the connection process by providing a physical reference that ensures precise alignment before the panels are fully connected, preventing misalignment damage while enabling easy reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A portable video screen for displaying images utilizes a pivoting frame system for holding a plurality of LED panels. The portable video screen rotates on rolling video units to enable users to roll the video units through doorways and readily setup and tear down the portable video screens as needed. Folding handles rotate into and out of the system to enable users to move the video units without touching the LED panels.
