Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices emit blue light that can harm eyes, and current methods to reduce blue light intensity often distort the image color, making it yellowish, thus failing to balance blue light reduction with image quality.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a light emitting module, image sensor module, and processing module that adjusts luminance based on pupil size analysis to reduce blue light exposure while maintaining image color, using an algorithm to compute luminance setting parameters and adjust the display panel accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a high-transmittance film having a function of filtering out a blue light wavelength is added in the front of a display screen, then harm caused to the eyes is reduced, but the entire display image becomes yellowish due to a lack of the color of the blue light

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblue light harm to eyesVSAvoidimage color accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the blue light spectrum into different wavelength components and selectively filters only the harmful short-wave blue light (415-455nm) while preserving the beneficial medium-wave blue light (470-495nm). This is achieved through a multi-band filter design that divides the blue light spectrum into distinct segments, allowing differential transmission to maintain image color accuracy while blocking harmful wavelengths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by creating different optical properties at different wavelength ranges within the blue light spectrum. The filter structure is designed with wavelength-selective regions that have different transmittance characteristics - high transmittance for beneficial blue light wavelengths and low transmittance for harmful blue light wavelengths, thereby maintaining overall image quality while providing localized protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the wavelength of an LED blue light chip is displaced to reduce energy of the blue light, then harm caused to the eyes is reduced, but the color of the display image is distorted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblue light energy harmVSAvoiddisplay image color
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary optical filter layer between the LED blue light chip and the display panel. This intermediary component selectively absorbs or reflects harmful blue light wavelengths while transmitting beneficial wavelengths, thereby mediating the interaction between the light source and the human eye without requiring changes to the LED chip's wavelength characteristics, thus preserving display color accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the luminance of the display panel is reduced to reduce blue light intensity, then eye protection is achieved, but the display brightness and visibility are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblue light intensityVSAvoiddisplay brightness
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic luminance adjustment mechanism that automatically adapts the display brightness based on real-time detection of ambient light conditions and user viewing parameters (such as viewing distance and angle). The system dynamically balances blue light reduction with maintaining adequate display visibility, adjusting luminance levels adaptively rather than using a fixed reduction ratio, thereby preserving user experience while providing eye protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
