The CABC module in liquid crystal displays is prone to dysfunction due to external voltage risks and logic circuit abnormalities, leading to reduced circuit utilization and increased error chances when attempting to operate with faulty components.

Innovation Solution

A repairing system and method for the CABC module, utilizing a series of logic circuits and registers to differentiate and correct abnormal bits, allowing the module to operate normally by generating a result equivalent to an initial value without failures, thereby accurately controlling PWM waveform duty cycles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the CABC module continues to operate with a small part of logic circuits having a dysfunction, then circuit utilization is maintained, but the chance for errors increases when outputting PWM waveform

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit utilizationVSAvoiderror chance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the logic circuit into multiple independent units, each capable of being individually detected and repaired. By dividing the circuit functionality into separable segments, the system can identify and correct dysfunctions in specific segments while maintaining operation of other segments, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining circuit utilization and reducing error chances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism through check value input and logic operation circuits that continuously monitor the state of logic circuit units. When a dysfunction is detected, the system provides feedback to trigger automatic repair operations, allowing the system to maintain high reliability while keeping the circuit operational through real-time monitoring and correction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If logic circuits in the CABC module have a dysfunction, then the module cannot continue to operate properly, but repairing or replacing the entire module reduces circuit utilization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation normalityVSAvoidcircuit utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the logic circuit into multiple independent units that can be individually repaired. Instead of requiring replacement of the entire module when a dysfunction occurs, the system can isolate and repair only the affected unit, thereby maintaining overall circuit utilization while ensuring operational normality of the remaining functional units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables recovery of dysfunctional logic circuit units through automatic repair mechanisms. Rather than discarding the entire module when a dysfunction is detected, the system recovers the specific faulty unit by performing repair operations, thus maintaining high circuit utilization while ensuring reliable operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

3Reliability

If the CABC module is closed when multiple abnormal bits appear, then reliability is maintained, but circuit utilization is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror preventionVSAvoidcircuit utilization
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary detection and repair actions when abnormal bits are detected, rather than immediately closing the module. The system proactively identifies dysfunctional units and executes repair operations before the dysfunction can propagate and cause system-wide failures, thus maintaining both reliability and circuit utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the harmful effect of detected abnormal bits into a beneficial opportunity for targeted repair. Instead of treating multiple abnormal bits as a reason to close the module, the system uses the detection of these bits to trigger precise repair operations on the affected units, transforming a potential failure condition into a maintenance opportunity that preserves circuit utilization while ensuring reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)
