1Manufacturing precision

If conventional calibration process is performed at fixed voltage, current, and temperature, then calibration process is simple and fast, but color accuracy deteriorates when environmental conditions change

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor accuracyVSAvoidcalibration process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-calculates and stores color transfer matrices for multiple environmental conditions (different temperatures and brightness levels) in a lookup table during the manufacturing process. This preliminary action allows the display panel to quickly retrieve and apply the appropriate color parameters without performing real-time calculations, thus maintaining color accuracy across varying conditions while keeping the calibration process simple and fast.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the calibration approach from a single fixed-condition calibration to multi-condition calibration by calculating color transfer matrices at different temperatures and brightness levels. The system then dynamically selects and applies the appropriate matrix based on current environmental parameters, ensuring color accuracy adapts to changing conditions without requiring complex real-time recalibration.

Inventive Principle:

2Adaptability or versatility

If calibration parameters are adjusted for different brightness and temperature, then color accuracy under varying conditions is improved, but the calibration process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to environmental conditionsVSAvoidcalibration system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs the complex calibration work in advance by calculating and storing multiple color transfer matrices for different environmental conditions during manufacturing. The lookup table is pre-populated with these matrices, allowing the runtime system to simply query and apply the appropriate matrix based on current conditions, thus achieving high adaptability without increasing runtime system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates copies of the color transfer matrix for different environmental conditions and stores them in a lookup table. Instead of performing complex real-time calculations, the system copies the appropriate pre-calculated matrix from the lookup table based on current environmental parameters, achieving adaptability through simple data retrieval rather than complex processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Manufacturing precision

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-calculates color transfer matrices for multiple temperature and brightness conditions during manufacturing and stores them in a lookup table. This allows the display panel to immediately apply the appropriate color parameters based on current environmental conditions without requiring a long warm-up period for color stabilization, thus eliminating time loss while maintaining color accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic color parameter selection by continuously monitoring environmental conditions (temperature and brightness) and retrieving the appropriate pre-calculated color transfer matrix from the lookup table. This dynamic adaptation allows the display to maintain color accuracy across varying conditions without requiring a fixed warm-up period, as the system proactively adjusts parameters based on real-time environmental feedback.

AI summary

A method for calculating adaptive panel color parameters and an adaptive panel-color-parameter calculation system are provided. The adaptive panel-color-parameter calculation system embodies an arithmetic circuit that is implemented by a circuitry or a firmware, and can be operated in a control circuit that controls an on-screen menu and display parameters of a display panel. In the method, current environmental parameters of the display panel, such as an electric current and a temperature, are acquired, and color characteristic parameters can be obtained by querying a panel-characteristic lookup table. Afterwards, a color transfer matrix is updated according to the obtained color characteristic parameters as compared to a target value. The color transfer matrix is used to derive a new set of panel color parameters that are provided to a driver circuit of the display panel. The display panel then displays a picture with the new set of panel color parameters.
