Solution Overview

Problem

Rotating stereoscopic displays in a display system causes inconsistencies in the depth/position of stereoscopic images, leading to a poor viewing experience for the viewer.

Innovation Solution

A stereoscopic display system with a first and a second stereoscopic display, where the second display is positioned at an angle relative to the first, and a controller adjusts the images on the second display to align with the first display's perspective, ensuring consistent stereoscopic viewing when the angle is zero.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If the second stereoscopic display is rotated by an angle to increase the viewing field of view, then the field of view is increased, but the depth/position of the stereoscopic image in space becomes inconsistent with other displays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefield of viewVSAvoiddepth/position consistency of stereoscopic image
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the stereoscopic image parameters (depth and position) based on the rotation angle of the display. When the display is rotated, the controller modifies the image rendering parameters to compensate for the rotation, ensuring that the perceived depth and position remain consistent across multiple displays regardless of their physical orientation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the rotation angle of each display and using this information to adjust the stereoscopic image output. The controller receives angle information and dynamically modifies the image parameters in response, creating a closed-loop system that maintains image consistency while allowing flexible display positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple displays are used to form a display system, then the viewing field of view and work efficiency are improved, but the depth/position consistency of stereoscopic images across displays deteriorates when displays are rotated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing field of viewVSAvoidstereoscopic image consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The controller dynamically changes the stereoscopic image parameters (depth, position, and orientation) based on the rotation angle of each display. This allows multiple displays to be positioned at different angles while maintaining consistent stereoscopic perception for the viewer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from angle sensors to continuously adjust image parameters across multiple displays, ensuring that the stereoscopic effect remains consistent even when displays are positioned at different orientations to expand the viewing field.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Area of stationary object

If the display is rotated to expand the viewing area, then the viewing experience is enhanced, but the stereoscopic image depth and position become inconsistent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay viewing areaVSAvoidstereoscopic image depth/position accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts stereoscopic image parameters including depth, position, and orientation based on the display's rotation angle. This compensation mechanism allows the display to be rotated for expanded viewing area while maintaining accurate stereoscopic image rendering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The controller receives feedback about the display's rotation angle and uses this information to dynamically adjust the stereoscopic image parameters, ensuring that depth and position accuracy are maintained even when the display is positioned at non-standard angles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A stereoscopic display system, including a first stereoscopic display, a second stereoscopic display, and a first controller, is provided. The first stereoscopic display is adapted to make a line of sight of a viewer face a center of a display surface of the first stereoscopic display. The second stereoscopic display is adapted to be disposed next to the first stereoscopic display. A first included angle between a display surface of the second stereoscopic display and an extension surface of the display surface of the first stereoscopic display is greater than 0. The first controller is signally connected to the first stereoscopic display and is electrically connected to the second stereoscopic display.
