Reconfigurable Vehicle Display Frame for Multi-Angle Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current vehicle displays have fixed shapes, limiting their ability to provide images from different directions, which can be inconvenient for drivers and passengers.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle device with a display that can be deformed from a first shape to a second shape using a control structure, allowing the screen appearance to be changed and images to be provided from different directions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display has a fixed shape, then the manufacturing is simple and structure is stable, but the adaptability and ease of operation deteriorate because images cannot be provided from different directions
Solution Approach 1:
The display frame is divided into multiple sub-frames (first sub-frame, second sub-frame, third sub-frame, fourth sub-frame) that can be independently positioned and connected. This segmentation allows the display to change its overall shape by rearranging the sub-frames, thereby improving adaptability while managing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The display structure transitions from a static fixed shape to a dynamic reconfigurable shape. The connecting structures enable the sub-frames to move relative to each other, allowing the display to switch between different shapes (e.g., from a first shape to a second shape) based on operational requirements, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
2Ease of operation
If the display is fixed in one shape, then the device complexity is low, but the ease of operation deteriorates for drivers and passengers viewing from different directions
Solution Approach 1:
The display structure is designed to perform multiple functions by changing its shape. The same display unit can be oriented to provide optimal viewing angles for different users (drivers, front passengers, rear passengers) by reconfiguring the frame arrangement, thereby improving ease of operation for multiple users without requiring multiple separate displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system adds the dimension of shape transformation to the traditional fixed display. By enabling the display to change its spatial configuration (from one shape to another), it provides images from different directions and angles, significantly improving viewing convenience for users positioned at various locations around the vehicle.

AI summary
The disclosure provides a vehicle device including a first display and a control structure. The first display includes a first frame, a first display unit, and a first connecting structure. The first frame includes a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame. The first display unit is disposed on the first frame. The first connecting structure is connected to the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame. The control structure is connected to the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame. The first display is deformed from a first shape to a second shape by the control structure.
