Solution Overview

Problem

Delta pixel arrangement display devices have lower resolution and display precision compared to strip pixel arrangement devices, making their display effects unsatisfactory due to larger pixel areas and reduced pixel density.

Innovation Solution

An image display method for delta pixel arrangement display devices that converts raw data from higher resolution strip pixels into display data for lower resolution delta pixels by calculating average luminance of sub-pixels, improving visual resolution and display quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If delta pixel arrangement is used, then manufacturing ease is improved, but resolution deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing easeVSAvoidresolution
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

A conversion unit is introduced as an intermediary component that transforms raw image data from high-resolution strip pixel arrangement into display data suitable for delta pixel arrangement. This mediator resolves the contradiction by enabling the display device to utilize high-resolution input data while adapting it to the lower-resolution delta pixel layout, thus maintaining both manufacturing ease and effective resolution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by transforming the luminance parameters of multiple first pixels into averaged luminance parameters for second pixels. The conversion unit calculates average luminance values from groups of first pixels (with coordinates satisfying specific relationships) to generate display data for second pixels, effectively adapting the resolution parameters to match the delta pixel arrangement while preserving manufacturing advantages

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If pixel area is increased, then manufacturing ease is improved, but display precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing easeVSAvoiddisplay precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges information from multiple first pixels (with coordinates satisfying specific relationships) to generate display data for a single second pixel. The conversion unit combines luminance data from multiple source pixels through averaging, effectively merging their information to compensate for the larger pixel area in delta arrangement, thereby maintaining display precision while preserving manufacturing ease

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
