A display device and method that automatically updates driving data by searching for matching data based on unique panel information stored in integrated data storage, reducing the need for manual intervention and minimizing human error.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual searching and updating of driving data is performed, then driving data can be updated, but the process is cumbersome and prone to human errors

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of driving data updateVSAvoidcomplexity of update procedure

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs driving data updates by having the main controller search for and apply appropriate driving data based on panel information stored in the display panel itself, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing human error

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The main controller acts as an intermediary that automatically matches panel information with corresponding driving data from storage, replacing the manual search and update process with an automated system that reduces complexity and error risk

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple types of driving data are stored for different panel types, then various panel types can be supported, but it becomes difficult to find the correct driving data for update

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesupport for multiple panel typesVSAvoiddifficulty of finding correct driving data

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The main controller serves as an intermediary that automatically matches panel information with corresponding driving data from storage, replacing the manual search and update process with an automated system that reduces complexity and error risk

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from the panel information stored in the display panel to automatically identify and retrieve the correct driving data, creating a closed-loop system that eliminates manual searching through tens of data types

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If automatic updating system is implemented, then updating process is simplified and human error is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesimplicity of update processVSAvoidcomplexity of control system

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The main controller performs multiple functions including storing panel information, searching for matching driving data, and automatically updating the driving data, consolidating what would otherwise require multiple separate components into a single multi-functional unit

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
