Solution Overview

Problem

Current backlight detection methods for liquid crystal display devices are inefficient due to spot-by-spot detection using luminance meters, which prolongs the time required to assess light and electric properties, leading to lower detection efficiency and potential low-quality assembled devices.

Innovation Solution

A backlight detection device featuring a carrier plate with a backlight detection region, a light property detection plate equipped with multiple brightness sensors, and a data processing unit that simultaneously detects brightness across different regions and determines the quality of the backlight's light properties, improving detection efficiency and accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a luminance meter is used to detect brightness of different regions of the backlight spot by spot, then the light properties of the backlight can be detected, but the detection time is prolonged and detection efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight property detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The backlight detection region is divided into multiple regions, with each region assigned a dedicated brightness sensor. This segmentation allows simultaneous detection of multiple regions rather than sequential spot-by-spot measurement, thereby maintaining measurement precision while significantly reducing detection time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention transitions from one-dimensional sequential spot detection to two-dimensional parallel region detection by arranging multiple brightness sensors in an array configuration. This dimensional change enables all regions to be detected simultaneously, resolving the time-loss problem while preserving measurement accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If spot by spot detection is performed on the backlight, then light properties can be evaluated, but the overall detection efficiency of light and electric properties is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebacklight quality evaluation accuracyVSAvoiddetection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention merges multiple brightness sensors into a single integrated light property detection plate that simultaneously detects multiple regions. This combination allows parallel detection of all regions in one operation, improving productivity while maintaining the precision needed for accurate backlight quality evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The detection system performs continuous simultaneous measurement across all backlight regions rather than intermittent sequential measurements. This continuous parallel action eliminates idle time between measurements, thereby improving detection efficiency while preserving evaluation accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
