Solution Overview

Problem

Display quality is degraded when the backlight in electronic devices, such as LCD modules, fails to meet display requirements due to deviations in brightness or color.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a photosensitive component within the electronic device to detect the backlight, allowing for adjustments to the backlight or display module parameters to compensate for deviations, thereby ensuring the backlight meets display standards.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a photosensitive component is integrated into the electronic device for real-time backlight detection, then display quality and consistency are improved, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay quality consistencyVSAvoiddevice structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the photosensitive component within the display module structure, merging the detection function with the existing display components. This allows real-time backlight detection without requiring a completely separate detection system, thereby improving display quality consistency while limiting the increase in device complexity through structural integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The photosensitive component serves multiple functions: detecting backlight intensity, monitoring display quality, and providing feedback for real-time adjustment. This multi-functionality improves reliability by enabling comprehensive quality monitoring while avoiding the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thus limiting the overall device complexity.

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

2Manufacturing precision

If real-time backlight detection and correction is implemented, then image quality consistency is improved, but manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay quality control precisionVSAvoidmanufacturing process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary detection of backlight parameters during the manufacturing and assembly process, allowing quality issues to be identified and corrected before final product completion. This preliminary action improves manufacturing precision by enabling early quality control while simplifying the overall manufacturing process by preventing defects rather than requiring complex post-manufacturing corrections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The photosensitive component provides real-time feedback on backlight performance, enabling automatic adjustment and correction of display quality parameters. This feedback mechanism improves manufacturing precision by ensuring consistent quality output while actually simplifying manufacturing through automation, reducing the need for manual quality control processes.

Inventive Principle:
