Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional transparent display-based image reproducing systems struggle to maintain a strong three-dimensional effect and sense of reality, especially outdoors, due to interference from the visible background and limited background dynamics, which degrades the image quality and realism.

Innovation Solution

A transparent display-based image reproducing apparatus with a housing, a transparent display, a background plate featuring light-transmitting and light-diffusing functions, and a light source unit that can adjust light and shade, incorporating various surface treatments and attachments such as protrusions, fibers, fabrics, or films to create dynamic backgrounds, enhancing the three-dimensional effect and liveliness without compromising image quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a simple background is configured on the rear surface of the transparent display to secure three-dimensional effect and clarity, then the image clarity and three-dimensional effect are improved, but the liveliness and dynamic perception are deteriorated due to lack of background variation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage clarityVSAvoidbackground dynamics
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by enabling the background to change according to the observer's position and movement. The background plate with light-diffusing functions and light source unit creates dynamic lighting effects that adapt to observer movement, making the background lively and changing rather than static. This resolves the contradiction by making the background dynamic while maintaining image clarity through controlled light diffusion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by varying the light intensity, color temperature, and diffusion patterns of the background plate based on observer position and image content. The light source unit adjusts lighting parameters dynamically, and the background plate's optical properties are modified to create different visual effects, thereby adding liveliness without compromising the clarity of the displayed image.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If a controlled background is configured on the rear surface to secure three-dimensional effect, then the three-dimensional effect and image clarity are improved, but the augmented sense of reality and sense of perspective are deteriorated due to monotony

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional effectVSAvoidsense of reality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the background dynamic by using a light source unit that adjusts lighting conditions based on observer position and movement. The background plate with light-diffusing functions creates changing light patterns that enhance the sense of reality and perspective, preventing monotony while maintaining the three-dimensional effect through controlled optical adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies color changes by using a light source unit capable of varying color temperature and hue based on the displayed image content and observer position. The background plate responds to these lighting changes, creating a dynamic color environment that enhances the augmented sense of reality and perspective, thereby resolving the contradiction between stable three-dimensional effect and dynamic sense of reality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

3Reliability

If a transparent display is used to create floating image effect, then the three-dimensional effect is improved, but the image quality deteriorates outdoors due to strong ambient light interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethree-dimensional effectVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the background lighting parameters (intensity, color temperature, diffusion) in response to ambient light conditions detected by sensors. The light source unit modifies its output parameters to compensate for outdoor ambient light, maintaining image quality and three-dimensional effect even in bright environments by creating appropriate contrast and depth perception.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using light sensors to detect ambient light conditions and feed this information back to the light source unit, which adjusts background illumination accordingly. This closed-loop control system maintains optimal image quality and three-dimensional effect by continuously adapting to changing outdoor lighting conditions, resolving the contradiction between maintaining three-dimensional effect and preserving image quality outdoors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
