Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed back plate structure with two independent liquid crystal modules is used, then the display structure is simple and stable, but the display can only be applied to specific scenarios and cannot be adjusted to different configurations

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by replacing the fixed back plate structure with a connecting mechanism that includes a distance adjusting member. This allows the relative position and angle between the first and second display panels to be dynamically adjusted. The distance adjusting member can change the spacing between panels, and the connecting mechanism enables angle adjustment, transforming a static structure into a dynamic one that adapts to different application scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements universality by designing a connecting mechanism that provides multiple adjustment functions. The same mechanism simultaneously enables distance adjustment, angle adjustment, and position adjustment between the two display panels. This multi-functional design allows a single display system to serve multiple scenarios (such as different viewing angles, spacing requirements, or configuration needs) without requiring separate fixed structures for each application.

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

2Ease of manufacture

If two independent liquid crystal modules with a fixed back plate are used, then the manufacturing is simple, but the material cost is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the merging principle by combining the positioning and spacing functions into a single distance adjusting member. Instead of using separate fixed back plates and independent positioning mechanisms for each module, the invention integrates these functions into one adjustable component. This consolidation reduces the total number of parts and material usage while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

By introducing the adjustable distance adjusting member, the patent replaces multiple fixed structural elements with a single dynamic component that can adapt to different spacing requirements. This reduces material consumption as the same component serves multiple positioning needs across different configurations, thereby lowering material cost while keeping the manufacturing process relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the distance between display panels is fixed, then the structure is stable and simple, but the relative positions cannot be adjusted for different scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent directly applies the dynamics principle by incorporating a distance adjusting member that enables the distance between the first and second display panels to be adjusted. This transforms the fixed structural relationship into a dynamic one, allowing the relative position to be changed according to different application scenarios while maintaining structural stability through the connecting mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
