Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional TFT-LCD display devices face inefficiencies in gamma and white balance adjustments due to the need for separate tables for each panel type, leading to increased management costs and potential mismatches, which affect brightness and chromaticity.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a drive assembly that includes a fusion module to merge digital gamma and white balance compensation tables, allowing for direct compensation of display panels without storing multiple tables, thus avoiding mismatches and improving efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple white balance tables are stored for different panel types, then white balance adjustment coverage is improved, but machine management costs and device complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewhite balance adjustment coverageVSAvoidmachine management costs
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple white balance tables for different panel types into a single unified table structure. Instead of storing separate tables for different panel types, the system uses one comprehensive white balance table that can accommodate all panel types, thereby reducing machine management costs and device complexity while maintaining full adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The white balance table is designed with universal applicability to serve multiple panel types simultaneously. The table structure incorporates panel type identification and corresponding white balance parameters for various panel types (such as TN, VA, IPS) within a single unified framework, enabling one table to perform the function of multiple specialized tables.

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

2Measurement precision

If separate white balance tables are used for different panel types, then measurement precision is improved, but productivity decreases due to increased management overhead

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewhite balance adjustment precisionVSAvoidadjustment efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple specialized white balance tables into a single unified table that maintains the precision of individual tables. By consolidating the tables while preserving the specific white balance parameters for each panel type within the unified structure, the system achieves both measurement precision and improved productivity through reduced management overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Manufacturing precision

If multiple compensation tables are stored externally, then compensation accuracy is improved, but mismatch errors between panels and tables occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation accuracyVSAvoidmatch accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The unified white balance table is designed to be universally applicable to all panel types while maintaining type-specific accuracy. The table includes identification mechanisms that match panel types with their corresponding white balance parameters, ensuring that the correct compensation data is applied to each panel type without mismatch errors.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces a panel type identification mechanism as an intermediary between the panel and the white balance table. This intermediary automatically identifies the panel type and selects the appropriate white balance parameters from the unified table, eliminating manual matching errors and ensuring reliable correspondence between panels and their compensation data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
