Solution Overview

Problem

Current display devices lack integrated color calibration functions, requiring additional external modules that are inconvenient to install and prone to precision reduction due to environmental light interference.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a built-in color calibration module that toggles to a position closer to the screen, reducing interference from environmental lights and improving calibration precision by rotating about a pivot end along a path unparallel to the display screen.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If an external color calibration module is purchased and installed, then color calibration function is added, but installation is inconvenient and environmental lights may interfere the sensor causing reduced calibration precision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor calibration functionVSAvoidinstallation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The color calibration module is integrated into the display device by being built into the frame surrounding the display screen, merging the calibration function with the display device itself rather than requiring a separate external module. This eliminates installation complexity while maintaining calibration functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Adaptability or versatility

If an external color calibration module is used, then color calibration function is provided, but environmental lights interfere the sensor reducing calibration precision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor calibration functionVSAvoidcalibration precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The sensor of the color calibration module is positioned to face the display screen rather than the external environment, extracting the measurement function from environmental exposure. The module is configured to measure only the light emitted from the display screen, isolating the sensor from harmful environmental light interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If the color calibration module is positioned closer to the display screen, then calibration precision is improved by reducing environmental light interference, but the module structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecalibration precisionVSAvoidmodule structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The color calibration module is designed with a toggleable mechanism that allows it to rotate between a retracted position and a calibration position. This dynamic positioning enables the module to move closer to the display screen during calibration to improve precision, then retract to a convenient storage position when not in use, managing structural complexity through controlled movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A display device includes a display panel and a color calibration module. The display panel includes a display screen. The color calibration module includes a pivot end and a calibration end opposite to the pivot end. When the color calibration module rotates about the pivot end, the calibration end moves from a first position to a second position along a route unparallel to the display screen. A distance between the second position and the display screen is shorter than a distance between the first position and the display screen.
