Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the display panel is stretched to increase display area, then the display area is expanded, but image distortion occurs due to pixel distance changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resolution adjustment and image rendering based on real-time deformation detection. The processor continuously monitors the stretchable display panel's deformation state and dynamically adapts the displayed image content, switching between different resolution modes (first resolution when stretched, second resolution when not stretched) to maintain image quality across varying display areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the display parameters (resolution, aspect ratio) based on the deformation state of the display panel. When the panel is stretched, the system switches to a first resolution and aspect ratio configuration; when not stretched, it uses a second resolution and aspect ratio configuration. This parameter adaptation resolves the contradiction by adjusting image properties to match the physical state of the display medium.
2Manufacturing precision
If the display panel deformation is detected and image is adjusted to maintain quality, then image distortion is reduced, but device complexity increases due to additional sensors and control systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a feedback mechanism where a deformation detection sensor continuously monitors the stretchable display panel's deformation state and provides real-time data to the processor. The processor uses this feedback information to dynamically adjust the displayed image content, creating a closed-loop control system that automatically maintains image quality without requiring complex manual intervention or overly sophisticated hardware architectures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system achieves self-service by automatically detecting deformation through integrated sensors and autonomously adjusting image parameters without external intervention. The processor independently manages the switching between different resolution modes based on sensor input, eliminating the need for complex external control systems or manual calibration procedures.
3Ease of operation
If the image size is dynamically adjusted based on deformation, then user interface performance is maintained, but processing time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic deformation detection and image adjustment cycles rather than continuous processing. The deformation detection sensor periodically samples the panel state, and the processor periodically switches between pre-configured resolution modes based on detected deformation thresholds. This periodic approach reduces computational overhead and power consumption compared to continuous real-time processing, while still maintaining responsive user interface performance.
