Rotating Multi-Plane Display Panels for Coherent Information Sequencing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices fail to effectively sequence and display multiple pieces of information in a cohesive and meaningful manner, leading to fragmented and unintelligible content as the panels rotate.
Innovation Solution
A display device comprising multiple rotatable display panels arranged in at least two parallel image planes, where panels overlap to form a complete image surface, allowing fragments of information to align and reassemble as they rotate, creating a seamless and meaningful information sequence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple display panels are used to show sequential information, then the quantity of information that can be displayed is improved, but the coherence and intelligibility of the displayed information deteriorates due to fragmentation and misalignment
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into multiple independent display panels, each showing a fragment of information. These panels are arranged in at least two parallel screen planes and can rotate independently, allowing the system to display multiple pieces of information simultaneously while maintaining coherence through synchronized rotation and overlapping arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-plane display to a multi-plane three-dimensional arrangement. Display panels are organized in at least two parallel screen planes that overlap, creating a spatial dimension that allows fragments from different panels to align and form complete, coherent information when viewed from the correct angle.
2Area of stationary object
If display panels are arranged in multiple parallel screen planes, then the completeness of the screen surface is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display panels are arranged in nested parallel planes where inner planes are positioned within the spatial envelope of outer planes. The panels in at least two screen planes overlap such that they form a complete, gapless screen surface when viewed from the front, creating a compact three-dimensional structure that maximizes screen coverage without proportionally increasing overall device footprint.
Solution Approach 2:
The display panels are made rotatable about a central axis perpendicular to the viewing side, allowing dynamic reconfiguration of the screen surface. This rotational capability enables the panels to maintain proper alignment and overlap relationships while allowing for flexible arrangement and repositioning of the multi-plane structure.
3Loss of information
If display panels are rotated synchronously, then the coherence of displayed information is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple display panels are merged into a coordinated rotational system where all panels rotate synchronously about a common central axis. This synchronized rotation ensures that fragments of information from different panels remain properly aligned and coherent as they pass through the viewing position, while the panels can be manufactured and assembled with standard tolerances.
