Solution Overview

Problem

The large amount of compensation data stored in memory for display devices consumes excessive memory space, increasing costs and affecting the operation efficiency of timing sequence controllers.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method that captures image data in preset grayscale, determines compensation data for display defects, and generates compensation data using this information, reducing the need to store the entire compensation data, thereby minimizing memory requirements and costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the entire compensation data is stored in memory, then the display defect compensation is complete and accurate, but the memory space occupation increases and costs rise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation accuracyVSAvoidmemory space
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments compensation data into two parts: grayscale compensation data (stored in memory) and color deviation compensation data (calculated in real-time). This segmentation allows the system to store only essential data while computing derived data on-demand, reducing memory space occupation while maintaining complete compensation functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary calculation of compensation data during the manufacturing or calibration phase, storing only the essential grayscale compensation data in memory. The color deviation compensation data is pre-computed and stored in a lookup table, enabling fast retrieval without occupying large memory space during operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Quantity of substance

If large memory is allocated for compensation data, then the compensation data can be stored completely, but the timing sequence controller cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation data storage capacityVSAvoidcontroller cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and separates the color deviation compensation data from the main compensation data set that needs to be stored in memory. By taking out this component and handling it through real-time calculation or lookup table operations, the system reduces the memory capacity requirement, thereby lowering the timing sequence controller cost while maintaining complete compensation functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Ease of operation

If all compensation data is stored in memory, then the compensation can be applied directly, but the operation efficiency of timing sequence controller decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation application simplicityVSAvoidcontroller operation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic calculation for color deviation compensation data, which is computed in real-time based on the grayscale compensation data and image characteristics. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt compensation parameters on-the-fly without being constrained by static pre-stored data, improving operational efficiency while maintaining compensation effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
