Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in optimizing image quality on display apparatuses as they need to manually adjust settings based on varying content formats and playback methods, which is complex and often leads to abandonment of adjustments.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus that analyzes characteristics and types of images received from external devices, automatically changing image processing modes based on detected VRR information, color, and genre, and providing users with settings options to enhance image quality through features like HDR, De-Judder, and motion blur removal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the user manually changes the setting of image quality or sound quality, then the image quality can be optimized for the received content, but the operation becomes complicated and difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage quality optimizationVSAvoidsetting adjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display apparatus automatically detects content characteristics (genre, color information, VRR information) and autonomously adjusts image processing modes without requiring user intervention. The system serves itself by analyzing incoming content and selecting appropriate processing parameters, thereby resolving the contradiction between optimization and operational simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes image processing parameters (brightness, color, sharpness, contrast, blurring, unevenness) based on detected content characteristics. By automatically modifying these parameters according to content type, the system achieves optimized image quality while eliminating the need for complex manual user adjustments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If the user directly changes the setting of image quality or sound quality, then the image quality can be optimized, but the method is complicated and difficult and the user often gives up halfway

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidadjustment process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display apparatus performs self-analysis of content characteristics and self-adjustment of image processing modes. The controller automatically detects genre information, color information, and VRR information, then autonomously selects and applies appropriate image processing settings, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex adjustment interfaces

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of content characteristics before the user needs to make any adjustments. By pre-detecting content type and pre-configuring appropriate image processing modes, the system prepares optimized settings in advance, removing the need for users to engage in complicated adjustment processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A display apparatus includes a display panel on which an image is displayed, a receiver configured to receive an image signal related to the image from an external device and a controller configured to change an image processing mode of the image based on a change in a vertical frequency of the image signal. The display apparatus according to an embodiment has an effect of providing a more vivid image to a user by changing the image processing mode of the image based on the change in the vertical frequency of the image signal received from the external device.
