Solution Overview

Problem

Current 3D display technologies limit the versatility of 3D viewing experiences due to fixed positioning requirements, which restrict the application of naked-eye 3D displays and user experience.

Innovation Solution

An adjusting device with a supporting portion and a rotatable portion embedded in a groove, capable of moving the display panel or grating to align with the viewer's eye position, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the light exit direction to achieve optimal 3D display at various positions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display panel or grating is fixed in position, then the structure is simple and stable, but the 3D viewing experience is limited to specific positions only

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing position adaptabilityVSAvoidadjusting mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed display panel or grating into a movable component. The adjusting device includes a rotatable portion that can rotate within a groove, enabling the display panel or grating to move dynamically. This allows the system to adapt to different viewing positions while maintaining a relatively simple structural design, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the display panel or grating is made movable to adjust viewing positions, then the versatility of 3D viewing is improved, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing position flexibilityVSAvoidadjusting device structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the adjusting device into distinct functional components: a supporting portion with a groove and a separate rotatable portion. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall structure while enabling the desired mobility and adaptability for viewing position adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rotatable portion is embedded within the groove of the supporting portion, creating a nested structure. This nesting approach allows the movable component to be integrated into the supporting structure without adding significant external complexity, achieving both adaptability and structural efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Adaptability or versatility

If a complex adjusting mechanism is used to enable viewing from multiple positions, then the adaptability is improved, but the device becomes more complicated and harder to control

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-position viewing capabilityVSAvoidadjustment control simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical adjusting mechanisms with a simplified rotational system. The rotatable portion rotates within a groove to achieve position adjustment, which is mechanically simpler and easier to control than traditional multi-component adjusting mechanisms. This substitution maintains multi-position viewing capability while significantly improving ease of operation.

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