Solution Overview

Problem

The existing display screens in laptop computers are limited to a single display area on one surface, restricting their application and user experience.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device design featuring a first body with an input area and a second body that rotates relative to the first body, with a display assembly that can be adjusted to display content on both bodies, including a flexible display screen that can slide or be bent to accommodate different usage scenarios.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen is limited to a single display area on one surface, then the device structure is simple, but the application method is limited and user experience is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication methodVSAvoiddisplay structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into multiple independent display areas located on different surfaces of the laptop body. Each display area can independently display content, allowing the display function to be segmented across multiple locations rather than confined to a single surface, thereby increasing application versatility while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display functionality is extended from a single two-dimensional surface to multiple three-dimensional surfaces of the laptop body. By arranging display areas on different faces and surfaces, the patent utilizes spatial dimensionality to provide multiple viewing angles and display locations, transforming the display from a planar limitation to a multi-dimensional experience

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the display screen is limited to a single display area on one surface, then the device structure is simple, but the user experience is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiddisplay structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The multiple display areas serve various functions depending on the usage scenario. The same display screen can provide different viewing experiences for different users or applications by activating different display areas, making the display system universal and adaptable to various user needs without requiring separate devices for different functions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The display system dynamically selects which display area(s) to activate based on user interaction, application requirements, and spatial context. This dynamic configuration allows the display to adapt its behavior and layout in real-time, providing optimized user experience for different scenarios while managing complexity through intelligent control rather than fixed structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and a display assembly. The first body includes a first area and a second area, the first area being an input area. The second body rotates relative to the first body. An end of the display assembly is fixedly connected to an end of the second body away from the first body. A display area of the display assembly includes a first display area arranged inside the first body and is visible to a user through the second area.
