Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices face challenges in maintaining uniform luminous ratios of primary colors, leading to instability in color performance, especially at low brightness levels, which affects the display effect and requires precise correction of color temperature.

Innovation Solution

A correction method for the color temperature curve is implemented, where pixel values are obtained, and standard pixel values are determined and used to correct second pixel values within specific intervals to ensure color temperature values fall within a preset range, improving accuracy and stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional correction methods are used, then correction process is simple, but color temperature accuracy deteriorates at low brightness levels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor temperature accuracyVSAvoidcolor performance stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the correction process into two distinct stages: first correcting pixel values at maximum brightness to establish reference points, then using linear interpolation to correct pixel values at other brightness levels. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, improving overall color temperature accuracy without compromising stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary correction at maximum brightness level first, establishing accurate reference pixel values before proceeding to correct values at lower brightness levels. This preliminary action ensures that the baseline for subsequent corrections is accurate, preventing error propagation and maintaining color performance stability across all brightness levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If pixel values are corrected without segmentation, then correction process is fast, but color temperature stability deteriorates across different brightness levels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection processing speedVSAvoidcolor temperature stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The correction process is divided into segmented stages: maximum brightness correction followed by interpolated corrections at other brightness levels. This segmentation maintains color temperature stability by ensuring each brightness level is corrected based on accurate reference points while preserving the relative relationships between different brightness levels, avoiding the need for complex full-range corrections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial correction action by focusing correction efforts on maximum brightness points and using linear interpolation for intermediate values. This approach corrects only the critical reference points with full precision while deriving other values through interpolation, maintaining color temperature stability without the computational overhead of correcting every pixel value independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If linear interpolation is used for correction, then correction accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel value correction accuracyVSAvoidcorrection algorithm complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary correction of maximum brightness pixel values to establish accurate reference points before applying linear interpolation. This preliminary action simplifies the overall algorithm by separating the complex correction task into a simple reference establishment phase followed by a straightforward interpolation phase, reducing computational complexity while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses linear interpolation as an intermediary method to derive corrected pixel values at intermediate brightness levels between the corrected maximum brightness reference points. This intermediary approach provides accurate correction results without requiring complex correction algorithms for each individual brightness level, balancing accuracy and computational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
