Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If display elements are arranged directly on facility surfaces without traditional substrates, then manufacturing cost and efficiency are improved, but addressing and specifying relative positions of display elements becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an addressing signal as an intermediary carrier that conveys position information between the controller and display elements. This addressing signal acts as a mediator that resolves the complexity of specifying relative positions by providing a standardized communication protocol that simplifies the addressing process despite the distributed arrangement of display elements on facility surfaces
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where display elements transmit their position information back to the controller through the addressing signal. This feedback loop enables the controller to accurately identify and control each display element's relative position, thereby solving the addressing complexity issue while maintaining the flexibility of direct surface mounting
2Adaptability or versatility
If display elements are arranged directly on facility surfaces, then adaptability to diverse facilities is improved, but precise addressing for image display becomes challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The addressing signal serves as an intermediary that carries precise position information between the controller and display elements mounted on diverse facility surfaces. This mediator enables accurate position specification regardless of the facility type or display element arrangement, thereby maintaining measurement precision while enhancing adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal addressing mechanism that can be applied across different facility types and display element configurations. The addressing signal and position detection method serve multiple functions: identifying element positions, specifying relative locations, and enabling image display control, thereby achieving both adaptability and precision through a single multi-functional system
