Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack a cool light and shade changing effect, making them appear less flexible and aesthetically appealing.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a simple texture film is arranged in the housing, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the visual effect and appearance aesthetics are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The texture layer is divided into multiple structural units (first structural unit, second structural unit, etc.), each containing multiple texture stripes. This segmentation creates a multi-segment curve pattern that mimics hair texture, transforming a simple flat texture into a complex multi-dimensional visual structure that achieves rich appearance effects while maintaining manufacturability through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional flat texture pattern to a three-dimensional multi-segment curve structure by arranging texture stripes at different angles (including -90° to 90° ranges) and creating protruding structures with varying heights. This dimensional transformation enables light to interact with the surface at multiple angles, producing dynamic light and shade changes that enhance visual complexity without significantly complicating the manufacturing process
2Adaptability or versatility
If a complex multi-layer texture structure is created, then the visual effect and light and shade changing effect are improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Different first-level regions are designed with different preset angles for texture stripes (ranging from -90° to 90°), creating local variations in light reflection and refraction. This local quality differentiation allows each region to contribute differently to the overall light and shade effect, achieving complex visual outcomes through controlled local variations rather than requiring uniform high-precision manufacturing across the entire surface
Solution Approach 2:
The patent varies the preset angles of texture stripes across different first-level regions, creating a parameter distribution strategy where angles range from -90° to 90° in different zones. This parameter change approach enables the structure to produce dynamic light and shade effects by controlling the orientation of protruding structures, achieving complex visual effects through parameter variation rather than requiring extremely tight manufacturing tolerances
