Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display systems face challenges in maintaining image quality and preventing color sense differences across multiple display regions controlled by different driving modules without degrading image quality.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a system where multiple driving modules share processing information to compensate for image quality differences, using techniques such as image processing and luminance adjustment to ensure consistent display across regions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If multiple driving modules are used to control different display regions, then the display area and resolution are improved, but image quality degradation and color sense differences occur between regions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidimage quality consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where processing information (including image data and metadata) generated by one driving module is shared with other driving modules. This allows each module to adjust its output based on information from others, ensuring consistent image quality and color characteristics across all display regions controlled by multiple driving modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the processing information from multiple driving modules into a shared information pool. By combining image data and metadata across modules and distributing this consolidated information back to all modules, the system achieves uniform image quality across the entire display area despite using multiple independent driving modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If processing information is shared between driving modules, then image quality consistency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage quality consistencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal processing information sharing mechanism that serves multiple driving modules simultaneously. The same information sharing infrastructure and processing logic are used across all modules, allowing the system to maintain image quality consistency without requiring separate complex control systems for each module pair.

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