Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle display systems are limited in size and number selection, occupy excessive space, and are difficult to manage malfunctions, leading to degraded immersion and inefficient space utilization.

Innovation Solution

A rollable display apparatus that integrates multiple displays, allowing flexible selection of display size and ratio through connector-based integration, enabling easy detachment and repair, and optimizing space usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple display apparatus are mounted at several positions inside a vehicle, then various types of content can be provided, but a lot of inner space of the vehicle is occupied

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent provision capabilityVSAvoidinner space occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple display apparatus into a single integrated display system that can be deployed at different positions. The display apparatus includes multiple display units that can be connected and configured to provide various types of content, eliminating the need to mount separate displays at several positions while still maintaining content diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic deployment mechanism where the display apparatus can be extended or reconfigured based on usage requirements. The display units can be selectively connected and positioned, allowing the system to adapt between providing various types of content and minimizing space occupation according to actual needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a plurality of display apparatus are mounted at several positions inside a vehicle, then various types of content can be provided, but it is difficult to cope with a malfunction of the display apparatus

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent provision capabilityVSAvoidmalfunction coping
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display apparatus into multiple independent display units that can be individually managed. Each display unit operates as an independent module with its own control and connection interfaces, allowing faulty units to be identified and replaced without affecting the entire system. This modular segmentation significantly improves maintenance and repair capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If the display is rolled or slid in one direction, then the display screen can be exposed, but the display is limited in size because the display is rolled or slid in one direction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay exposureVSAvoiddisplay size
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSArea of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from one-dimensional linear extension (rolling or sliding in a single direction) to two-dimensional spatial expansion. The display apparatus includes multiple display units that can be arranged in different spatial configurations, allowing the display area to expand in multiple directions rather than being constrained to a single linear path.

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

4Ease of operation

If the display is rolled or slid in one direction, then the display screen can be exposed, but the sense of immersion of a video is degraded and emotional quality is degraded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay exposureVSAvoidvideo immersion
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple display units into an integrated display system that can create immersive video experiences. By combining the output of multiple display units and controlling their synchronization, the system achieves wide viewing angles and immersive video playback, significantly improving upon the limited immersion of single-direction rolled or slid displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
