Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional 3D display apparatuses fail to adjust image quality based on the attributes of 3D glasses worn by the viewer, resulting in muted or distorted 3D images due to unoptimized brightness, contrast, and color hue.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for acquiring attribute information of 3D glasses, such as transmissivity, contrast change rate, color hue change rate, and clarity change rate, to adjust the image quality of 3D images displayed, enhancing brightness, contrast ratio, and color hue to match the viewer's intended experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If conventional 3D display apparatus sets the same image quality as 2D image quality to output 3D image, then the 3D image is displayed with standard brightness and color, but the viewer views the 3D image with decreased brightness and distorted color through 3D glasses

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidimage quality after passing through glasses
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting brightness, contrast, and color temperature parameters of the 3D image based on the optical characteristics of the 3D glasses. The system modifies these parameters to compensate for the light transmission properties of the glasses, ensuring that the final perceived image quality remains optimal despite the glasses' effect on the light.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by acquiring optical characteristic information from the 3D glasses and using this information to adjust the image quality parameters. The system continuously adapts the image output based on the detected properties of the glasses, creating a closed-loop control system that optimizes the viewing experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If conventional 3D display apparatus uses the same image quality settings for 2D and 3D images, then the display system maintains simple operation, but the viewer experiences muted color hue and dark screen when wearing 3D glasses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoidimage quality optimization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the image quality settings adaptive rather than fixed. The system dynamically adjusts brightness, contrast, and color temperature based on the detected optical characteristics of the 3D glasses, transforming a static display system into one that responds to changing conditions while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes multiple image quality parameters simultaneously (brightness, contrast, color temperature) based on the optical properties of the 3D glasses. This multi-parameter adjustment approach enables precise optimization of the 3D image quality without complicating the user interface or operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If 3D display apparatus does not adjust image quality based on 3D glasses attributes, then the system maintains simple structure and operation, but the viewer views 3D image with decreased brightness and distorted color

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structureVSAvoidbrightness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a system that can handle both standard and optimized 3D image output through a unified architecture. The image quality adjustment module can operate with or without specific 3D glasses information, making the system versatile and adaptable to different glass types while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by acquiring the optical characteristic information of the 3D glasses before displaying the 3D image. This allows the system to pre-adjust the image parameters (brightness, contrast, color temperature) to compensate for the glasses' effects, ensuring optimal viewing quality from the start without requiring complex real-time adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Manufacturing precision

If 3D display apparatus adjusts image quality according to 3D glasses attribute information, then the viewer experiences optimal image quality, but the system requires acquiring and processing additional attribute information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage quality adjustment precisionVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by using the acquired optical characteristic information of the 3D glasses to continuously adjust and optimize the image quality parameters. This closed-loop approach ensures high precision in image quality adjustment while managing the information processing complexity through systematic feedback mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by acquiring the 3D glasses attribute information in advance before image display. This allows the system to perform all necessary calculations and adjustments beforehand, reducing the complexity of real-time processing while achieving precise image quality optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method for adjusting an image quality of a 3-dimension (3D) image, a 3D display apparatus, 3D glasses, and a system for providing a 3D image are provided. Attribute information of the 3D glasses is acquired from the 3D glasses to adjust an image quality of a displayed 3D image according to the attribute information of the 3D glasses. Therefore, if a viewer views a 3D image through a glasses type 3D display apparatus, brightness of the 3D image is prevented from being darker by 3D glasses or a color hue of the 3D image is prevented from being degraded by the 3D glasses. Accordingly, the viewer views the 3D image with an optimal image quality.
