Variable Shape Display Module for Sensory Immersion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display apparatuses fail to provide enhanced sensory immersion, particularly in applications requiring three-dimensional effects and sensory engagement, as they lack the ability to dynamically adjust their shape to improve user experience.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus featuring a display module and a variable member that includes a first portion capable of varying shape, with a second portion fixed to opposite ends of the first portion, allowing the distance between these ends to be adjusted, thereby changing the shape of the display module to enhance sensory immersion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the display module uses a fixed rigid structure, then manufacturing and assembly are simplified, but sensory immersion and three-dimensional effects are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is designed with variable flexibility to dynamically change the shape of the display module. By adjusting the flexibility of the support member, the display module can transition between different curvature states, enabling three-dimensional effects and enhanced sensory immersion while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through a single adaptable component
Solution Approach 2:
The flexibility parameter of the support member is changed to control the shape of the display module. By varying the flexibility of the support member, the curvature and shape of the display module are adjusted, enabling dynamic shape control for improved sensory immersion without complex manufacturing
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display module is made flexible to enable shape variation, then sensory immersion is improved, but structural stability and reliability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the support member have different flexibility characteristics. The support member is designed with localized flexibility zones that allow shape variation where needed while maintaining structural stability in other regions, thus achieving both adaptability and reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The support member is constructed using composite materials or multi-layer structures that combine flexible and rigid properties. This allows the display module to achieve shape variation for sensory immersion while the composite structure maintains overall structural stability and reliability
3Device complexity
If the display module maintains a fixed shape, then structural simplicity is maintained, but user engagement and sensory immersion are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The support member is designed with variable flexibility to enable dynamic shape changes of the display module. This dynamic capability allows the display to adapt to different viewing conditions and applications, enhancing user engagement and sensory immersion without requiring entirely separate structures for different functions

AI summary
A display apparatus includes a display module for displaying an image, and a variable member for varying a shape of the display module. The variable member includes a first portion capable of varying in shape, and a second portion having opposite ends respectively fixed to opposite ends of the first portion, where a distance between the opposite ends of the second portion is varied such that the opposite ends of the first portion protrudes with respect to a central region of the first portion and thereby, the display module is varied in shape.
