Solution Overview

Problem

Large-size liquid crystal display panels, especially Vertical Alignment (VA) LCD panels, suffer from severe color deviation and reduced color saturation when viewed from wide angles due to rapid brightness saturation with voltage, leading to poor image quality.

Innovation Solution

A driving method for a display module that converts RGB color signals into HSV color space signals, adjusts color saturation using predetermined coefficients, and adjusts light source intensity to compensate for color deviation, ensuring balanced color performance across different viewing angles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the backlight intensity is increased to improve color saturation, then color saturation is improved, but color deviation worsens due to rapid brightness saturation with voltage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor saturationVSAvoidcolor deviation
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the backlight system into multiple color light sources (red, green, blue) that can be independently controlled. By adjusting the intensity of each color light source separately based on the displayed content, the system achieves high color saturation without causing color deviation, as each color channel is optimized independently rather than increasing overall backlight intensity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of backlight intensity where the brightness of color light sources changes in real-time according to the displayed content's color characteristics. This dynamic control allows the system to maintain optimal color saturation and avoid color deviation by adapting the backlight intensity to the specific imaging requirements rather than using a fixed high intensity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Illumination intensity

If the overall backlight intensity is increased to compensate for color saturation loss, then color saturation is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor saturationVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the intensity of color light sources based on the actual imaging needs and color characteristics of the displayed content. This ensures that power is consumed only when and where needed to maintain color saturation, rather than continuously operating at high intensity, thereby reducing overall power consumption while preserving color quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different intensity levels to different color light sources based on the local color requirements of the displayed image. By adjusting only the specific color channels that need enhancement rather than increasing overall backlight intensity, the system achieves improved color saturation with minimal additional power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Illumination intensity

If the backlight intensity is adjusted to improve color performance, then color saturation is improved, but light transmittance decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor saturationVSAvoidlight transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the backlight into multiple color light sources with independent intensity control. This allows the system to adjust only specific color channels to improve color saturation without increasing the overall backlight intensity that would reduce light transmittance, thereby maintaining both color performance and light transmission efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
