Solution Overview

Problem

Existing transparent electric billboards lack insulation and soundproofing capabilities, making them inefficient for use around windows of buildings, which leads to increased heating and cooling costs.

Innovation Solution

A multilayer structure transparent electric billboard comprising a first transparent plate with electrodes and patterns, a second transparent plate bonded to the first, a protective resin layer, space bars on the second plate, and a third transparent plate spaced from the second to enhance insulation and soundproofing, with optional vacuum or gas filling for improved performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a transparent electric billboard is used for advertisement and interior decoration, then aesthetic design and light emission are improved, but insulation and soundproofing functions are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaesthetic designVSAvoidinsulation function
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The billboard is divided into multiple transparent plates (first transparent plate with light emitting elements, second transparent plate, and third transparent plate) separated by space bars, creating a segmented multilayer structure that provides both aesthetic light emission and insulation function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The billboard combines multiple transparent plate materials with air gaps (space bars) to create a composite structure that simultaneously achieves transparency for decoration and thermal insulation through the air layers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Device complexity

If a single layer transparent billboard is used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but insulation performance is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestructureVSAvoidheating and cooling cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The design transitions from a single-layer structure to a multilayer structure with spatial separation in the third dimension, creating air gaps between plates that provide insulation while maintaining transparency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Device complexity

If transparent plates are bonded directly together, then structural simplicity is maintained, but soundproofing and insulation effects are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding structureVSAvoidsound and heat transfer
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Space bars are introduced as intermediary elements between the transparent plates, creating air gaps that act as thermal and acoustic insulators while still allowing the overall structure to function as a unified billboard

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
