Solution Overview

Problem

Current transparent display systems for showcases are limited in their ability to showcase items and performances, as they only allow for rotational movement and lack the use of light effects, restricting the presentation of exhibitions and performances.

Innovation Solution

A display system that includes a combination of display panels, a control module, motion module, lighting module, and sound module, allowing for synchronized multimedia content, movement, light effects, and audio effects to enhance the presentation of items and performances, with the ability to adapt to different environments and requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a turntable is used to rotate the display item, then the display item can be viewed from different angles, but the movement of the item is limited to rotation only

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemovement capabilityVSAvoiddisplay mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transitioning from a static turntable mechanism to a dynamic system where display items can move along curved trajectories. The curved linear actuator enables items to follow arc-shaped paths rather than simple rotation, creating more engaging and versatile display movements while maintaining mechanical feasibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dimensionality change by adding vertical and lateral movement dimensions to the traditional horizontal rotation. The curved linear actuator mechanism allows items to move in three-dimensional space along curved paths, transforming the display from two-dimensional rotation to three-dimensional spatial movement.

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

2Illumination intensity

If the display panel shows full-color video content, then the visual presentation is enhanced, but the transparency of the display panel is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo display qualityVSAvoidtransparency function
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action through the synchronized coordination of display panel transparency switching and video content playback. The display panel alternates between transparent and opaque states in rhythm with the video content, allowing full-color videos to be displayed during opaque phases while maintaining transparency during other phases, thus resolving the conflict between video quality and transparency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamics by making the display panel's transparency state changeable rather than fixed. The display panel dynamically switches between transparent and opaque states based on the video content being played, allowing the system to optimize for either transparency or video quality depending on the current display requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If light effects are added to enhance the presentation, then the attractiveness of the display is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresentation capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the merging principle by integrating the lighting module with the existing display system structure. The lighting effects are combined with the curved linear actuator mechanism and display panel, creating a unified system where light effects enhance the display without requiring completely separate mechanical structures, thus reducing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements multi-functionality by designing the lighting module to serve multiple purposes: enhancing visual presentation, coordinating with video content playback, and working in conjunction with the curved linear actuator movements. This universal approach allows a single lighting system to fulfill various presentation requirements without adding proportional complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
