Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the number of sub-pixels is increased to achieve high resolution, then the visual resolution is enhanced, but the manufacturing cost is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides each pixel into multiple sub-pixels (first sub-pixel set and second sub-pixel set) with different functions. The first sub-pixel set displays color information while the second sub-pixel set displays brightness information, enabling high-resolution display without proportionally increasing the total number of sub-pixels required, thus reducing manufacturing cost while maintaining visual resolution.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention adds a new dimension to pixel organization by separating color display (first sub-pixel set) and brightness display (second sub-pixel set) into distinct functional groups. This dimensional separation allows the system to achieve sub-pixel level resolution efficiency without linearly increasing the total sub-pixel count, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
2Productivity
If conventional image processing operations are applied to sub-pixel rendered images, then the processing can be performed with existing algorithms, but the image processing quality is poor and efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The image processing circuit separately processes the first sub-pixel set (color information) and the second sub-pixel set (brightness information) using different processing paths and parameters. This segmentation allows each processing path to be optimized for its specific data type, improving both processing quality and efficiency compared to conventional unified processing approaches.
Solution Approach 2:
Different image processing parameters and algorithms are applied to different sub-pixel sets based on their specific characteristics. The first sub-pixel set undergoes color-specific processing while the second sub-pixel set undergoes brightness-specific processing, ensuring that each processing operation is locally optimized for its data type, thereby improving overall image processing quality and efficiency.
