Solution Overview

Problem

Wearable display devices face challenges with low luminescence efficiency, leading to high drive voltage requirements that increase temperature and risk damage to the display module, resulting in poor user experience and potential module failure.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a temperature sensor and controller that adjusts the gamma parameter and drive voltage to maintain optimal luminance while reducing temperature, using a corresponding relationship of temperature ranges and gamma parameters to prevent overheating.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the drive voltage is increased to compensate for low luminescence efficiency, then the luminance is improved, but the temperature increases and the display module may be damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveluminanceVSAvoiddisplay module temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the gamma parameter of the display module based on detected temperature. When temperature exceeds a threshold, the controller reduces the gamma parameter, which changes the voltage-luminance relationship and allows maintaining luminance at lower drive voltages, thus reducing temperature while preserving display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Illumination intensity

If the drive voltage is increased to maintain luminance, then the luminance is improved, but the risk of display module damage increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveluminanceVSAvoiddisplay module reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by using a temperature sensor to continuously monitor the display module temperature and feeding this information back to the controller. The controller then adjusts the gamma parameter based on the temperature feedback, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains luminance while preventing temperature-induced damage and improving overall reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Temperature

If the gamma parameter is adjusted to reduce drive voltage, then the temperature is reduced, but the luminance may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay module temperatureVSAvoidluminance
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the gamma parameter adjustable rather than fixed. The controller dynamically modifies the gamma parameter based on real-time temperature conditions, allowing the system to optimize between luminance and temperature control. This dynamic adjustment ensures that luminance is maintained within acceptable ranges while temperature is reduced through lower drive voltages when conditions permit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
