Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the display area is expanded to provide larger screens or sub-displays, then the visual performance is improved, but the space available for antennas becomes insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display function and antenna function into the same physical space by integrating a transparent conductive pattern into the display panel. This allows the display area to serve dual purposes: visual display and wireless communication, thereby resolving the space conflict between expanded display areas and antenna placement.
Solution Approach 2:
The display panel is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously. The transparent conductive pattern integrated into the display enables it to function both as a visual display element and as an antenna for wireless communication, maximizing the utility of the available space.
2Area of stationary object
If the display area is expanded to provide larger screens or sub-displays, then the visual performance is improved, but the antenna performance becomes compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the antenna functionality with the display structure by incorporating a transparent conductive pattern into the display panel. This integration ensures that antenna performance is maintained even as display area expands, as the antenna elements are distributed across the display surface rather than being confined to limited peripheral spaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the antenna by using transparent conductive materials with specific electrical properties integrated into the display panel. This allows the antenna to maintain effective radiation characteristics while being embedded within the display structure, thus preserving antenna performance despite increased display area.
3Reliability
If a transparent conductive pattern is integrated into the display to maintain antenna performance, then the radiation performance is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces overall device complexity by merging multiple functions into a single integrated structure. The transparent conductive pattern is incorporated into the existing display panel layers, eliminating the need for separate antenna components and reducing the number of discrete parts that would otherwise be required.
