Backlight Module Viewing Angle Calculation via Color Saturation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge is to accurately calculate the viewing angle of a produced backlight module when the viewing angle data of the backlight module is unavailable, particularly for the vertical alignment (VA) type of liquid crystal display panels, which affects the display quality and fails to meet customer demands due to differences in backlight modules used for measurement.
Innovation Solution
A method is developed to calculate the brightness-viewing angle values of an unknown backlight module by obtaining color saturation-viewing angle data at specific angles, measuring and comparing it with a known backlight module, and using a ratio formula (y=3.0703x−2.0416) to adjust the viewing angle, ensuring the produced module meets customer requirements.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If color saturation-viewing angle data is used for measurement, then the measurement can be performed with available data, but the brightness-viewing angle parameter cannot be accurately deployed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces color saturation data as an intermediary parameter to bridge the gap between available measurement data and the desired brightness-viewing angle parameter. By establishing a correlation model between color saturation-viewing angle and brightness-viewing angle, the system can indirectly determine brightness characteristics without direct measurement, thus resolving the contradiction between measurement feasibility and accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces direct brightness measurement (mechanical/optical measurement system) with a calculation-based approach using color saturation data. Instead of physically measuring brightness-viewing angle directly, the system substitutes this with mathematical modeling based on color saturation correlations, achieving the desired parameter through computational means rather than direct physical measurement.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different backlight modules are used for measurement, then measurement flexibility is improved, but measurement consistency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal calculation model that can be applied across different backlight module types. By establishing a general correlation between color saturation-viewing angle and brightness-viewing angle that transcends specific module characteristics, the system achieves consistent results regardless of which backlight module is used for measurement, thus providing universality and resolving the consistency issue while maintaining flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the measurement approach from direct physical measurement (which varies with module differences) to parameter-based calculation using color saturation data. By changing from measuring absolute brightness characteristics to calculating relative viewing angle parameters through correlation models, the system eliminates variability introduced by different backlight modules while maintaining measurement flexibility.

AI summary
The present invention provides a backlight module and a method for calculating viewing angle for an unknown backlight module. In the present invention, brightness-viewing angle values of the unknown backlight module can be calculated according to the color saturation-viewing angle data of the unknown backlight module at specific viewing angles, and thus are taken to deploy the brightness-viewing angle values of a produced backlight module to be as the same as the brightness-viewing angle values of the unknown backlight module.
