1Productivity

If traditional compression methods are used for Demura compensation values, then the compression process is simple, but the compression efficiency is low and storage resource utilization is suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression efficiencyVSAvoidcompression model complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the compression process into multiple independent modules: spatial domain sampling module, prediction mode overall model, data reconstruction module, and syntactic encoding module. Each module handles a specific aspect of the compression task, allowing for optimized processing at each stage while maintaining overall system efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic mode selection where the system automatically selects the optimal prediction mode (from multiple candidate modes including mean value prediction, moving average prediction, knot prediction, cluster prediction, linear difference prediction, quadratic interpolation prediction, and multi-data mode fitting prediction) based on the actual characteristics of the compensation data. This dynamic adaptation improves compression efficiency without requiring a fixed complex structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed compression method is used, then the implementation is straightforward, but it cannot adapt to varying data characteristics across different panels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepanel data adaptabilityVSAvoidcompression process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters of the prediction model based on the input data characteristics. The system evaluates multiple prediction modes and selects the one that best fits the current panel's data patterns. This parameter adaptation allows the same compression framework to effectively handle diverse panel characteristics without requiring manual reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the compression system evaluates the performance of different prediction modes on the actual panel data and uses this feedback to select the optimal mode. The system continuously adapts based on the reconstructed value set and syntactic element code set, ensuring optimal performance for each specific panel while maintaining automated operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Manufacturing precision

If comprehensive data processing is performed, then the compression effectiveness is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression effectivenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial processing by performing down-sampling in the spatial domain and using selective prediction modes that process only the essential features of the data. The syntactic encoding further compresses the representation by focusing on the most significant elements. This partial action approach achieves effective compression without requiring exhaustive processing of all data points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts key characteristics from the compensation data through spatial domain sampling and prediction mode analysis. By identifying and processing only the essential features (mode characteristic values) rather than all raw data, the system achieves effective compression with reduced processing time and computational resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
