Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the same image is divided into multiple disparity images for stereoscopic display, then stereoscopic perception is achieved, but resolution is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestereoscopic perceptionVSAvoidresolution
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The backlight is divided into multiple independent backlight strips corresponding to different disparity images, allowing each strip to be controlled separately. This segmentation enables the system to display multiple disparity images simultaneously without resolving them into separate channels, thus maintaining resolution while achieving stereoscopic perception.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a temporal dimension by alternating the illumination of different backlight strips at high frequency. This temporal multiplexing allows the human visual system to integrate multiple disparity images into a single stereoscopic perception without the need to divide the spatial image, thereby preserving resolution.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple disparity images are displayed simultaneously, then stereoscopic display is enabled, but image crosstalk occurs between left and right eyes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestereoscopic displayVSAvoidimage crosstalk
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The backlight strips are illuminated periodically at high frequency, alternating between different disparity images. This periodic illumination combined with the persistence of vision effect ensures that each eye receives the correct disparity image at the appropriate time, preventing crosstalk while enabling stereoscopic display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a grating array as an intermediary component that works in conjunction with the polarization strips to control light distribution. This intermediary system ensures that light from different backlight strips is directed to the appropriate eyes, preventing crosstalk between left and right eye images.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If the number of backlight strips is increased to match the number of disparity images, then resolution is maintained, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveresolutionVSAvoidbacklight structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs polarization strips that serve multiple functions: they act as both light modulators and directional control elements. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby controlling device complexity while maintaining the ability to display multiple disparity images at high resolution.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes high-frequency temporal modulation of the backlight strips, changing the illumination parameters dynamically. This approach allows a smaller number of physical backlight strips to effectively display multiple disparity images through temporal multiplexing, reducing device complexity while maintaining resolution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
