Vehicle Panel Surface Pattern for Stereoscopic Texture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle panel components lack enhancement in texture without complex configurations, particularly on meter panels, which require a decorative function that is visually appealing and engaging.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle panel component with a panel face divided into polygonal sections, featuring parallel lines formed by recesses and protrusions, where the pattern and angle of these lines differ between sections, creating a stereoscopic effect that changes with light reflection and viewer perspective, mimicking a lenticular image or hologram.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a simple configuration is used for the panel face, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but texture enhancement is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The panel face is divided into multiple sections, each containing parallel lines formed by recesses and protrusions. This segmentation allows the creation of complex visual textures through simple, repetitive geometric patterns that are easy to manufacture while achieving the desired texture enhancement effect
Solution Approach 2:
Different sections of the panel face have different patterns of parallel lines with varying angles and orientations. This local variation in pattern quality creates diverse textural effects across different regions of the panel face, enhancing overall visual appeal while maintaining simple manufacturing processes for each individual section
2Shape
If the panel face is divided into multiple sections with different patterns, then visual appeal is enhanced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The panel face is segmented into multiple sections, each with parallel lines at different angles. This segmentation creates rich visual textures and patterns while maintaining relative simplicity in each individual section, balancing visual appeal with configuration manageability
Solution Approach 2:
Adjacent sections are designed with asymmetric patterns where the parallel lines are oriented at different angles relative to each other. This asymmetry creates dynamic visual effects and enhances texture perception, while the systematic variation in angles keeps the overall configuration relatively simple and manageable

AI summary
A vehicle panel component includes a panel face. The panel face is divided into a plurality of sections, each of which is made in shape of a polygon. The plurality of sections are disposed in adjacent to each other. Each of the plurality of sections includes a plurality of parallel lines disposed therewithin. The plurality of parallel lines are formed by a plurality of recesses and protrusions. A pattern of the plurality of parallel lines is different between adjacent sections of the plurality of sections.
