Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If step motors are installed in hundreds of pixel cells to enable three-dimensional display, then stereoscopic display capability is improved, but parts cost increases to several tens of millions of won making commercialization nearly impossible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestereoscopic display capabilityVSAvoidparts cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces expensive step motors with a magnetic field-based driving system. A magnet is attached to the protruding portion and a magnetic sensor detects its position, eliminating the need for complex mechanical actuators in each pixel cell. This substitution dramatically reduces parts cost while maintaining stereoscopic display capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a magnetic field as an intermediary between the control system and the display elements. Instead of direct mechanical actuation, the system uses magnetic fields to control the protruding portions, enabling precise positioning without expensive motors. The magnetic sensor acts as an intermediary detection mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If clutch method using electromagnet is used to control lifting and lowering screw, then movement control is simplified, but accumulated movement error occurs during continuous use making accurate stereoscopic image output impossible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemovement control simplicityVSAvoidmovement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism using a magnetic sensor that continuously detects the position of the magnet attached to the protruding portion. This feedback allows the system to accurately determine the current position and make precise adjustments, eliminating accumulated movement errors that occur with open-loop clutch mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical clutch mechanism with a magnetic field-based positioning system. The magnetic sensor provides precise position detection without the mechanical wear and error accumulation inherent in clutch mechanisms, enabling continuous accurate operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If fixed 3D model is used to represent three-dimensional objects, then three-dimensional representation is achieved, but characteristics such as size and direction become distorted and only information on a specific moment or state can be obtained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional representation capabilityVSAvoiddistortion of size and direction characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a dynamic display system where individual pixel elements can protrude and retract to represent three-dimensional coordinates. This dynamic configuration allows accurate representation of spatial relationships, sizes, and directions by physically positioning elements in 3D space rather than using fixed projections that distort these characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from two-dimensional flat display to three-dimensional spatial display by enabling pixel elements to protrude from the screen plane. This addition of the z-dimension allows accurate representation of 3D coordinates, volumes, and spatial relationships without the distortions inherent in 2D projections.

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