Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing power supply methods for transparent display devices adhered to window glass are opaque, deteriorating the design quality and posing challenges in supplying power to multiple devices without visible cables.
Innovation Solution
A power supplying structure that houses the light source, terminal area, wiring substrate, and cable within a frame, using magnetic or rail connections to a power source, ensuring the transparent display device's outer size is smaller than the window glass and maintaining design integrity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cables are used to supply power to transparent display devices adhered to window glass, then power supply function is achieved, but design quality deteriorates due to opaque cables being visible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the cable from the visible area by routing it through the frame structure. The cable is concealed within the frame's internal space, separating the power supply function from the visual appearance. This allows the display device to maintain its transparent aesthetic while still receiving power through the hidden cable connection point on the frame.
Solution Approach 2:
The cable is nested within the frame structure, utilizing the frame's internal volume to hide the cable. The connection terminal is integrated into the frame, creating a nested arrangement where the cable and terminal are contained within the frame's boundaries, preventing them from being visible from the outside while maintaining power supply functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple transparent display devices are disposed on one window glass, then display functionality is enhanced, but power supply complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The frame is designed as a universal power supply structure that can serve multiple display devices simultaneously. The frame contains multiple connection terminals positioned at different locations, allowing each display device to connect to the frame for power supply. This multi-functional frame design eliminates the need for separate power supply systems for each device, reducing overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply system is segmented into independent connection points within the frame. Each display device has its own dedicated connection terminal in the frame, allowing independent power supply control. This segmentation enables multiple devices to be powered simultaneously without creating a complex interconnected power distribution system, as each device connects independently to the frame's power infrastructure.
