Display Defect Detection for Brightness Uniformity Hotspots
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The use of a side light type backlight source in display devices results in uneven brightness, causing a hotspot phenomenon where regions near the backlight source are brighter than regions further away, leading to inconsistent display quality.
Innovation Solution
A display defect detection method utilizing complex variational mode decomposition and convolutional neural networks to extract and fuse band-limited intrinsic mode function components, determining average brightness values and uniformity, and applying a preset classification rule to assess display quality.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a side light type backlight source is used in the backlight module, then the display can be illuminated, but the brightness becomes uneven with hotspot phenomenon occurring
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by dividing the display screen into multiple regions (first region, second region, third region) with different brightness characteristics. The detection system specifically targets the first region near the backlight source where hotspot occurs, and the adjustment mechanism modifies local brightness in this region while maintaining appropriate brightness in other regions, thereby achieving overall brightness uniformity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the brightness parameter locally in different regions of the display. The detection apparatus measures brightness values in multiple regions and compares them to determine if the first region exceeds a preset threshold. Based on this comparison, the system adjusts the brightness parameter of the first region downward while maintaining or adjusting other regions to achieve uniform brightness across the entire display.
2Power
If the brightness of the region near the backlight source is high, then the backlight source is effective, but the display picture shows hotspot phenomenon
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts the harmful hotspot effect into a beneficial detection target. By specifically detecting the brightness of the first region where hotspot occurs and comparing it with preset thresholds, the system identifies when the backlight is too effective in this region. The adjustment mechanism then reduces brightness in this specific region, transforming the harmful over-brightness into a controlled and uniform display quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the detection apparatus continuously monitors brightness values in multiple regions, compares measured values with preset thresholds, and triggers adjustment actions based on the comparison results. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that when the first region's brightness exceeds the threshold (hotspot condition), the system automatically adjusts to reduce it, thereby eliminating the harmful effect while maintaining overall backlight effectiveness.
