Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional auto-stereoscopic displays suffer from structural integrity issues in their second display panel, leading to potential dizziness for users, and existing multi-layer displays lack sufficient structural support.

Innovation Solution

A stereoscopic display apparatus comprising a first display element, a second transparent display element spaced apart with a concealing element and a photosensitive element, where the concealing element provides structural support and light shielding, enhancing the strength and stability of the second display panel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a multi-layer display is used to achieve true depth properties and eliminate dizziness, then stereoscopic display quality is improved, but structural integrity of the second display panel deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestereoscopic display qualityVSAvoidstructural integrity of second display panel
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

A support structure is introduced as an intermediary element between the first and second display panels. This support structure provides mechanical reinforcement to the second display panel without interfering with the optical path or the stereoscopic display function, thus resolving the contradiction between achieving true depth properties and maintaining structural integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The support structure is designed with properties that combine mechanical strength with optical transparency or appropriateness. By using composite materials or structures that are substantially transparent or have appropriate optical properties, the second display panel gains structural reinforcement while the display quality and depth perception are preserved

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

A stereoscopic display apparatus includes a first display element, a second display element and a first concealing element. The second display element has a first area and a second area. The first area of the second display element overlaps the first display element. The second area of the second display element is located outside an area of the first display element. The first concealing element is located between the first display element and the second display element. The first concealing element has a first light shielding portion. A solid portion of the first light shielding portion overlaps the second area of the second display element. A main opening of the first light shielding portion is located above the first display element.
