Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple light-emitting element arrays are arranged in the same plane for multi-layer display, then the stereoscopic effect is improved, but the light-emitting elements overlap each other causing image interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestereoscopic effectVSAvoidlight source overlap
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends light-emitting element arrays from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional space by positioning them at different heights (Z-axis) relative to the rotary portion. This vertical separation prevents overlap while maintaining the multi-layer display structure needed for stereoscopic effects.

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

2Object-generated harmful factors

If light-emitting element arrays are positioned at different heights to prevent overlap, then light source interference is reduced, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight source overlapVSAvoidpanel height variation
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a rotary mechanism that dynamically rotates multiple panels with light-emitting element arrays at different heights. This dynamic rotation allows the system to maintain precise spatial separation of light sources while achieving complex multi-layer display patterns, reducing the need for static structural complexity.
