Solution Overview

Problem

Long rendering times of image data lead to screen tearing and lagging, which can be mitigated by adjusting the screen refresh rate, but this affects the brightness, posing a challenge in maintaining a consistent viewing experience.

Innovation Solution

A display method utilizing an artificial intelligence model to analyze image data, predict rendering times, insert compensation image data, and dynamically adjust the screen frame rate and brightness by generating compensation images and adjusting voltage parameters to maintain consistent brightness and reduce tearing and lagging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the screen refresh rate is adjusted to match the output frame rate, then screen tearing and lagging are reduced, but the brightness of the screen is affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen tearing and laggingVSAvoidscreen brightness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of image data using an artificial intelligence model to predict rendering times before actual display. Compensation image data is generated in advance based on these predictions, allowing the system to prepare for potential brightness variations before they occur during display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts voltage parameters to compensate for brightness changes caused by frame rate adjustments. By changing the voltage applied to the display, the system maintains consistent brightness levels even when the refresh rate is modified to prevent screen tearing and lagging.

Solution Approach 1:

An artificial intelligence model is introduced as an intermediary between the image data and the display system. This AI model analyzes image data and predicts rendering times, enabling the system to optimize display timing without requiring complex real-time processing adjustments during the actual rendering pipeline.

Inventive Principle:
