Solution Overview
Problem
Transparent display apparatuses face challenges in effectively conveying information due to their transparent nature, which can obscure the visibility of content displayed on the screen.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with adjustable transparency, equipped with sensors to detect proximity and ambient conditions, adjusts its transparency levels based on user proximity, allowing for enhanced visibility of content by decreasing transparency when the user is closer, thereby improving the recognition of displayed information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the display maintains high transparency to allow background views, then the aesthetic appeal and spatial openness are improved, but the visibility of displayed information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display apparatus dynamically adjusts its transparency level based on the detected proximity of the user. When the user approaches within a threshold distance, the display automatically reduces transparency to enhance information visibility. When the user moves away, the display returns to a higher transparency state to maintain background visibility and aesthetic appeal.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the transparency parameter of the display based on proximity conditions. By detecting user proximity and adjusting the transparency parameter accordingly, the system optimizes both information visibility and background visibility under different usage scenarios.
2Loss of information
If the display decreases transparency to improve information visibility, then the readability of content is improved, but the ability to see background views deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display dynamically switches between high transparency and low transparency states based on real-time proximity detection. This dynamic adjustment ensures that the display provides optimal readability when needed while preserving background visibility when the display is not in active use.
Solution Approach 2:
The system periodically detects user proximity and adjusts transparency in response to changing conditions. This periodic monitoring and adjustment allows the display to adapt to varying usage scenarios, maintaining both readability and background visibility capabilities.
3Device complexity
If the display maintains constant transparency, then the system simplicity is improved, but the adaptability to different usage scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display system incorporates proximity sensing feedback to automatically adjust transparency. The sensor detects user proximity and provides feedback to the control logic, which then adjusts the transparency level accordingly. This feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to different usage scenarios without requiring complex manual controls.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system automatically adjusts its own transparency based on proximity detection without requiring user intervention. The proximity sensor and control logic work together to self-regulate the transparency level, making the system adaptable to different scenarios while maintaining relative simplicity.

AI summary
A display apparatus and a method thereof. The display apparatus includes a display with variable transparency, a sensor which senses a location of at least one of a person and an object, and a controller which determines proximity of the at least one of the person and the object to the display based on a result of the sensing by the sensor, and adjusts the transparency of the display differently according to a result of the determining. Accordingly, a user can easily recognize contents displayed on the display screen having high transparency in the display apparatus.
