Solution Overview

Problem

Mass-produced displayers often fail to achieve the same picture quality as a standard-PQ-displayer due to individual performance deviations caused by manufacturing accuracy and quality control issues, leading to inconsistent brightness and color across devices of the same model.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that adjust the Gamma-value of a to-be-adjusted-displayer to match a target value by computing a corresponding Gamma-value using a preset algorithm based on the standard-PQ-displayer's values, allowing for adaptive picture quality adjustment regardless of component consistency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If adjusting data from a standard-PQ-displayer is applied to mass-produced displayers, then picture quality adjustment can be performed, but individual performance deviations cause inconsistent picture quality across devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepicture quality consistencyVSAvoidadjustment accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the adjustment parameter from fixed adjusting data to dynamic Gamma-value-based adjustment. By measuring the actual Gamma-value of each to-be-adjusted displayer and using it to compute a correction value, the system adapts the adjustment to individual device characteristics, resolving the contradiction between manufacturing precision and adjustment accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a feedback mechanism where the actual Gamma-value of each displayer is measured and used to compute a correction value. This feedback loop ensures that the adjustment is based on real device performance rather than assumed standard values, thereby achieving consistent picture quality across mass-produced devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If strictly controlling components in consistency to reduce performance difference, then manufacturing complexity increases, but picture quality cannot be assured to match standard-PQ-displayer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent consistencyVSAvoidcontrol complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the adjustment process from the manufacturing control process. Instead of trying to control component consistency during manufacturing, the system measures the actual Gamma-value of each device and computes an individual correction value, separating the adjustment function from the manufacturing function and reducing control complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables each displayer to self-adjust based on its own measured Gamma-value. Each device performs its own adjustment using its specific characteristics, eliminating the need for complex centralized control and achieving individual optimization without increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of manufacture

If applying standard-PQ-displayer adjusting data to to-be-adjusted displayers, then adjustment process can be simplified, but picture quality deviation occurs due to individual differences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadjustment process simplicityVSAvoidpicture quality consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the adjustment approach from applying fixed standard data to computing individualized correction values based on measured Gamma-values. This parameter change maintains the simplicity of the adjustment process while achieving consistent picture quality across devices with different individual characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a method for adjusting picture quality of displayer, including: adjusting a core of a to-be-adjusted-displayer to make Gamma-value of the to-be-adjusted-displayer reach a target value under a preset gray scale, and taking the current Gamma-value of the core as γn under the preset value; computing the value of γn' corresponding to the to-be-adjusted-displayer by a preset algorithm based on the γn, the values of γ0 and γ0' corresponding to a standard-PQ-displayer, which are under one same gray scale; and adjusting picture quality of the to-be-adjusted-displayer according to the γn'. The present disclosure also discloses a device for adjusting picture quality of displayer.
