Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large display panels in vehicles are prone to damage from external shocks and vibrations, and their installation can obstruct the view of occupants, particularly when used on the rear side, and pose challenges for driver intervention in autonomous vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A transparent display apparatus with a rotation part and anchoring system, allowing the display panel to be switched between modes based on user commands, and a roll-up or roll-down panel assembly with magnetic anchoring parts, enabling flexible deployment and protection from external impacts, while maintaining visibility and facilitating driver intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a large display panel is manufactured to provide more diverse content, then the content diversity is improved, but the display panel becomes highly likely to be damaged due to external shock or vibration
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel is designed to be movable rather than fixed, capable of rotating between a first position (parallel to the rear window) and a second position (perpendicular to the rear window). This dynamic configuration allows the system to adapt between providing diverse content (when extended) and protecting against damage (when retracted or positioned strategically), resolving the contradiction between content diversity and damage resistance.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a large screen display apparatus is installed on the rear side to provide diverse content, then content diversity is improved, but the view of occupants is obstructed
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel can dynamically change its position between parallel and perpendicular orientations relative to the rear window. When content display is needed, it extends parallel to the window; when view clarity is prioritized, it rotates perpendicular to the window, eliminating view obstruction while maintaining content diversity capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The display panel transitions from a two-dimensional plane fixed on the rear window to a three-dimensional movable structure that can rotate and change orientation. This dimensional change allows the display to occupy different spatial configurations, providing content diversity when needed while minimizing view obstruction by rotating perpendicular to the window when necessary.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a large screen display apparatus is installed on the front side in an autonomous vehicle, then user experience is improved, but driver intervention is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The display panel can dynamically adjust its position between parallel and perpendicular orientations relative to the front window. When providing enhanced user experience with diverse content is the priority, it extends parallel to the window; when driver intervention is needed, it rotates perpendicular to the window, ensuring the driver's view and ability to intervene are not obstructed.
