Vehicle Display Translucent Panel and Prism Light Guidance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle display devices, such as those in automobiles, are limited in their ability to provide enhanced decoration and design, particularly in achieving a display that creates a sense of depth and superior visual recognition of information.
Innovation Solution
A display device comprising a first light source, a translucent background panel, a transparent dial, and prisms to guide light, with the background panel having a gradation and smoke print to enhance light transmission and the dial having a projection that emits light from a second light source, allowing for a visually differentiated display that creates depth and superior decoration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a display device uses a light source and light guiding body to illuminate the liquid crystal display portion, then the display can be enhanced in colors, but the display is restricted to surface display only and cannot achieve enhanced decoration and design with sense of depth
Solution Approach 1:
The display device is segmented into multiple functional layers: a light source unit, a translucent background panel with gradation and smoke prints, a transparent dial, and a projection unit. This segmentation allows each layer to contribute differently to light transmission and visual effect, creating both color display and decorative depth effects simultaneously
Solution Approach 2:
The invention adds a vertical dimension to light transmission by using a translucent background panel with gradation and smoke prints that create depth perception. The projection unit extending from the dial further adds dimensional depth, transforming the display from a flat surface to a multi-dimensional visual experience that enhances both color quality and decoration
2Illumination intensity
If the background panel is made translucent with gradation and smoke print, then light transmission is enhanced and visual perception is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The gradation print and smoke print are merged into a single translucent background panel, combining multiple visual functions (gradation effect, smoke effect, light diffusion) into one integrated component. This reduces the number of separate parts while achieving enhanced light transmission and visual perception
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution enables a display with enhanced decoration and design, allowing for superior visual recognition of information by creating a sense of depth and improved visual perception, thereby meeting the need for more aesthetically pleasing and informative vehicle meter displays.
Implementation Method 1
a background panel (8) having a translucent portion (8b) to which light emitted from the first light source (54) is entered and from which transmitted light is exited
Implementation Method 2
a first prism (7) for guiding the light emitted from the first light source (54) to the translucent portion (8b) of the background panel (8)
Implementation Method 3
a second prism (9) for guiding the light emitted from the second light source (55) to the transparent portion (2b) of the dial (2)
Data Source
AI summary
A display device including a first light source that emits light, a background panel including a translucent portion to which light emitted from the first light source is entered and from which transmitted light is exited, the translucent portion provided in at least a portion of the background panel; and a dial including a transparent portion to which at least a portion of the transmitted light exited from the translucent portion is entered, the transparent portion provided in at least a portion of the dial.
