Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the handheld gimbal device maintains a compact size for portability, then it is easy to carry, but the display unit size is limited resulting in poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit is designed to be rotatable relative to the handle, allowing it to dynamically change its dimensional footprint. When rotated to different angles, the display unit presents different effective dimensions along the lateral direction, enabling a larger display area while maintaining the compact overall device structure for portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The display unit is arranged rotatably at the mount surface, utilizing rotational movement to change its spatial orientation. This dimensional change allows the display surface to face different directions and present varying effective areas, resolving the contradiction between compact device size and large display area by exploiting the rotational degree of freedom.
2Area of moving object
If the display unit size is increased to improve user experience, then more content can be displayed, but the device size increases reducing portability
Solution Approach 1:
The rotatable display unit allows the device to dynamically adjust its display presentation without permanently increasing its volumetric footprint. The display unit can be rotated to present different effective areas depending on the viewing angle and operational state, providing enhanced user experience while maintaining compact device volume for portability.
Solution Approach 2:
The display unit's effective display area parameter can be changed by rotating it to different angular positions. This parameter change allows the same physical display unit to present different effective areas, enabling flexible content display capabilities without permanently increasing the device's volumetric size.
3Ease of operation
If the display unit is fixed in position, then the device structure is simple, but the user experience and content visibility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit is designed with rotational capability relative to the handle, transforming it from a fixed static component to a dynamic adjustable component. This rotational mechanism, while adding some structural complexity, enables flexible positioning and larger effective display area, significantly improving user experience and content visibility.
Solution Approach 2:
By introducing rotational freedom around the rotation axis, the display unit gains an additional degree of freedom in positioning. This dimensional change from fixed to rotatable allows the display surface to be oriented in multiple directions, enhancing user interaction and content visibility without requiring a completely complex reconfiguration system.

AI summary
A device includes a handle including a mount surface, and a display unit rotatably arranged at the mount surface and reversibly switchable between a first state and a second state. The display unit includes a display surface perpendicular to a rotation axis of the display unit. The display surface faces away from the mount surface in both the first state and the second state. A dimension of the display unit in the first state along a lateral direction of the handle is smaller than the dimension of the display unit in the second state along the lateral direction of the handle.
