Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data for the entire display area is stored in GRAM to ensure complete image rendering capability, then image rendering completeness is improved, but memory resource usage increases and response time decreases when display area size changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display data into multiple sets corresponding to different display area sizes. The GRAM stores only the data sets currently needed for the active display area size, rather than storing all possible data sets. This segmentation allows the system to quickly switch between different display configurations by activating different data sets, significantly reducing response time while maintaining complete image rendering capability for each specific display size.
2Manufacturing precision
If all data is scanned and processed regardless of display area size to ensure consistent rendering quality, then image rendering quality is improved, but processing time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by scanning and processing only the data sets that correspond to the currently active display area size. When the display area size changes, the system activates only the relevant data sets for that specific size rather than processing all available data. This approach maintains consistent image rendering quality for each display configuration while significantly improving processing efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
3Measurement precision
If the display driving circuit processes data for maximum display area to maintain high resolution, then display resolution is improved, but resource efficiency decreases when display area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic data processing mechanism where the display driving circuit adapts its operation based on the current display area size. When the display area is reduced, the system dynamically switches to processing only the relevant data sets for that smaller area, rather than continuously processing data for the maximum display area. This dynamic adaptation maintains high display resolution for each specific configuration while significantly improving resource efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a deformable display panel, a sensor, a display driving circuit operatively coupled to the deformable display panel and the sensor, and comprising a graphical random access memory (GRAM), and a processor operatively coupled to the display driving circuit and the sensor, wherein the display driving circuit can be configured to, while the size of a displayable area of the deformable display panel is changed, store, in the GRAM, data for displaying an image of a first size received from the processor, receive, from the sensor, a signal for indicating that the size of the displayable area is a second size smaller than the first size, after the data is stored, and scan part of the data in response to the reception of the signal, thereby displaying an image of the second size through the deformable display panel.
