Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If anti-peeping structures are arranged in electronic display devices, then anti-peeping function is provided, but the device cannot flexibly switch between anti-peeping mode and anti-peeping invalidation mode
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-peeping unit is designed as a rotatable component that can dynamically change its orientation. The drive structure enables the anti-peeping unit to rotate between different angles, allowing dynamic switching between anti-peeping mode (when the first side faces the light source) and anti-peeping invalidation mode (when the second side faces the light source), thereby resolving the contradiction between providing anti-peeping function and enabling flexible mode switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The anti-peeping structure is divided into multiple anti-peeping units, each with a first side and a second side. This segmentation allows independent control and rotation of each unit, enabling flexible switching between different modes and angles, thus improving adaptability while maintaining operational convenience.
2Reliability
If anti-peeping units are arranged in a housing, then anti-peeping function is achieved, but the structure thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anti-peeping unit utilizes a thin-film or flexible structure design that allows it to be rotated within a limited space. The unit includes a first side and a second side that can be oriented toward the light source by rotation, maintaining anti-peeping functionality while minimizing the thickness required for the housing cavity.
Solution Approach 2:
By making the anti-peeping unit rotatable rather than fixed, the design achieves the anti-peeping function with a thinner overall structure. The rotational capability allows the unit to switch between modes without requiring additional space for multiple fixed structures, thus reducing the housing thickness while maintaining reliability.
