Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display apparatuses experience a decrease in luminance due to the operation of the net power controller, which does not account for peak gain setting values, leading to reduced current and potential display panel damage.

Innovation Solution

A compensation lookup table generator that includes a maximum power voltage determiner, rush power reduction amount operator, and allowable current increase amount operator, which modify the lookup table to increase current and luminance by determining and adjusting power voltage based on peak gain setting values.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If the net power controller operates with a conventional lookup table that does not consider peak gain setting values, then power consumption is reduced, but luminance decreases and display panel damage may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidluminance
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the lookup table based on peak gain setting values. The compensation lookup table generator dynamically modifies the conventional lookup table by calculating rush power reduction amounts and allowable current increase amounts according to the current peak gain setting value, enabling the system to adaptively balance power consumption and luminance output rather than using a static lookup table

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the lookup table based on peak gain setting values. By calculating the rush power reduction amount and allowable current increase amount as functions of the peak gain setting value, the system modifies the scale factors in the lookup table to compensate for luminance loss while maintaining power consumption benefits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Power

If the peak gain setting value is decreased to reduce rush power, then power consumption is reduced, but luminance and display quality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverush powerVSAvoidluminance
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the compensation lookup table generator continuously monitors the peak gain setting value and adjusts the lookup table accordingly. By calculating the rush power reduction amount based on the current peak gain setting value and applying compensation through modified scale factors, the system creates a closed-loop control that maintains luminance while respecting power constraints

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The compensation lookup table acts as an intermediary between the peak gain setting value and the final luminance output. It translates the power reduction requirements into adjusted scale factors that compensate for luminance loss, serving as a mediator that reconciles the conflicting requirements of power consumption and display quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Illumination intensity

If the current is increased to maintain luminance, then display quality is improved, but power consumption increases and may exceed rush power limits

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveluminanceVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial compensation rather than full compensation for rush power reduction. By calculating the allowable current increase amount as a portion of the rush power reduction amount (multiplied by a coefficient less than or equal to 1), the system achieves partial luminance recovery while maintaining power consumption within acceptable limits, rather than attempting to fully restore original luminance levels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
