Solution Overview

Problem

Micro-LED display panels experience color shifts due to varying light efficiencies of display pixels at different temperatures, leading to inadequate color coordinate compensation.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that determine the actual temperature of the display panel by combining initial display parameters and ambient temperature, using a compensation gamma table to provide accurate compensation data signals to pixels, thereby adjusting for color shifts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a fixed gamma table is used for display calibration, then the initial color accuracy is improved, but the color stability under varying temperature conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor coordinate accuracyVSAvoidcolor stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic gamma table selection based on real-time temperature sensing. The system transitions from a static fixed gamma table to a dynamic adaptive gamma table that changes according to the display panel's operating temperature, thereby maintaining color accuracy across varying thermal conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the gamma table parameter based on temperature conditions. Multiple pre-calibrated gamma tables are stored in memory, and the system selects the appropriate gamma table by matching the current temperature range, thus adjusting the display parameters to compensate for temperature-induced color shifts

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If temperature compensation is implemented, then color stability is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor stabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary temperature compensation by pre-calibrating multiple gamma tables at different temperature conditions during manufacturing. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex real-time calculations during operation, as the system only needs to sense temperature and select the pre-prepared gamma table

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces complex mechanical or computational temperature compensation mechanisms with a simplified lookup-based approach. Instead of calculating compensation values in real-time, the system substitutes this with a straightforward temperature-to-gamma-table mapping process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If real-time temperature sensing and dynamic gamma table selection are implemented, then color shift compensation accuracy is improved, but the processing time and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemperature measurement accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary organization of gamma tables according to temperature ranges during manufacturing. This preliminary sorting allows for rapid retrieval during operation, minimizing the time needed to select the appropriate gamma table once temperature is sensed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The implementation uses dynamic temperature sensing combined with a pre-organized gamma table structure. The system continuously monitors temperature and dynamically switches between pre-prepared gamma tables, achieving real-time compensation without extensive processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
