Solution Overview

Problem

Current stereoscopic image displays experience image separation issues when the dragging window is moved due to differing driving speeds of the lenticular lens and display panel, leading to poor visual effects and affected viewer enjoyment.

Innovation Solution

A stereoscopic display system with an image display unit, an image switching unit, and a control module that dynamically switches between 2D and 3D display modes based on the movement of the dragging window, using the control module to determine if the window is stationary or moving, and accordingly activating or deactivating the image switching unit to prevent image separation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the lenticular lens and display panel are driven by the control circuit with different driving speeds, then the stereoscopic image display can function, but image separation occurs when the dragging window is moved, leading to poor visual effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestereoscopic image display functionVSAvoidimage separation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the image switching unit's driving speed variable rather than fixed. When the dragging window is detected to be moving, the control circuit increases the driving speed of the image switching unit to match the dragging window's movement speed, thereby eliminating image separation. This dynamic speed adjustment resolves the contradiction between maintaining stereoscopic display function and preventing image separation during window movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the image switching unit is driven at higher speed to match dragging window movement, then image separation is reduced, but the complexity of the control circuit increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage separationVSAvoidcontrol circuit
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the movement state of the dragging window and using this information to adjust the driving speed of the image switching unit. The control circuit detects whether the dragging window is moving and automatically adjusts the image switching unit's speed accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that reduces image separation without requiring overly complex predetermined control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If the dragging window is moved during 3D display mode, then user interaction is enabled, but visual effects deteriorate due to image separation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedragging window movementVSAvoidvisual distortion
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by proactively adjusting the image switching unit's driving speed in response to detected dragging window movement. Before image separation can occur, the control circuit has already increased the image switching unit's speed to match the window's movement, thereby preventing visual distortion while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

AI summary

A display method and a stereoscopic display system thereof are provided. The stereoscopic display system comprises an image display unit and an image switching unit. The image switching unit is configured on a display surface of the image display unit. The display method comprises the following steps of: driving the image display unit to display a dragging window; driving the image switching unit when the dragging window is executed on a 3D display mode, so that the dragging window can display a 3D image; determining whether the dragging window is moved; executing a 2D display mode and turning off the image switching unit when the dragging window is moved, so that the dragging window can display a 2D image.
