Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices experience significant color cast and brightness differences when viewed from the side compared to the front, particularly with red, green, and blue color schemes, due to varying gray scale and light source intensities, leading to an unsatisfactory viewing experience.

Innovation Solution

A display driving method that acquires original gray scale and light source intensity data, divides it into two groups, and adjusts the driving light source intensities to ensure the dominant color is highlighted, reducing color cast by maintaining the same overall brightness across different viewing angles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the original gray scale data is displayed directly without division, then the display process is simple, but the side view color cast is severe and brightness difference between front and side views is large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay process simplicityVSAvoidbrightness difference between front and side views
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The original gray scale data group is divided into a first gray scale data group and a second gray scale data group based on the maximum gray scale value. This segmentation allows different processing strategies for different gray scale levels, specifically excluding minimum gray scale values from the first group to reduce side view brightness differences while maintaining front view quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If the gray scale data is divided into two groups with specific processing, then the color cast is reduced and hue consistency is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor cast reduction and hue consistencyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Different gray scale data groups are processed differently based on their local characteristics. The first gray scale data group excludes minimum gray scale values to improve color accuracy in specific regions, while the second group handles remaining data. This localized processing approach reduces color cast without requiring complete reprocessing of all data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the parameter of gray scale value distribution by dividing data based on maximum gray scale and excluding minimum gray scale values from the first group. This parameter change optimizes the driving light source intensities for different hues, reducing color cast and improving hue consistency across viewing angles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If the driving light source intensities are adjusted based on divided gray scale groups, then the dominant color is highlighted and color cast is reduced, but the calculation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedominant color highlighting and color cast reductionVSAvoidcalculation complexity for driving parameters
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The gray scale data group is divided into first and second groups in advance, with minimum gray scale values excluded from the first group before calculating driving light source intensities. This preliminary action simplifies the subsequent calculation process by pre-organizing data, making it easier to determine the dominant hue and calculate appropriate driving parameters without handling all raw data simultaneously.
