Solution Overview

Problem

Existing color correction methods using external image generators are costly and require special programs for synchronous control, and image output from upper computers is often non-linear due to OS and GPU interference, leading to inaccurate calibration results.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that utilize an internal image generator within the display to process control instructions, allowing direct image generation and output, with optional optical measurement, path switching, and parameter initialization to ensure accurate color correction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If an external image generator is used to calibrate the display, then color calibration capability is achieved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor calibration accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image generation function is extracted from the external image generator and integrated into the display device itself. The display controller includes an image generation unit that can generate test images locally, eliminating the need for external hardware while maintaining calibration capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The display controller is designed to perform multiple functions: it controls the display panel, generates test images for calibration, and processes calibration data. This multi-functional design replaces separate external devices, reducing system complexity while preserving calibration accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If image output is controlled through upper computer with OS and GPU, then image generation is achieved, but output linearity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation convenienceVSAvoidoutput linearity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display controller acts as an intermediary between the upper computer and display panel. It receives control instructions, generates images locally using its own image generation unit, and outputs to the display panel, thereby bypassing the non-linear OS and GPU processing while maintaining operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The display device performs image generation autonomously through its built-in image generation unit in the display controller. This self-service capability eliminates dependence on upper computer processing, ensuring linear and accurate image output while maintaining ease of operation through remote control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
