Solution Overview

Problem

Existing noise detection methods for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are inadequate for determining whether an LCD is qualified for noise control before leaving the factory, as they lack efficient mechanisms to convert and compare parallel video data effectively.

Innovation Solution

A noise detection device and method utilizing a storage module, processing module, and encoding module to convert parallel video data into serial data, compare it with received mini-LVDS data, and determine the bit error rate, with a field-programmable gate array and digital video imaging encoding chip for processing and encoding, respectively.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If parallel video data is converted to serial data and back for noise detection, then the ability to determine noise control qualification is improved, but the device complexity increases due to requiring encoding module, storage module, and processing module

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenoise detection capabilityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The noise detection device is divided into three functional modules: storage module for storing parallel video data, encoding module for converting parallel data to serial data, and processing module for receiving and comparing data. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function efficiently, enabling comprehensive noise detection while maintaining modular design for easier implementation and maintenance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If parallel video data undergoes encoding conversion to serial data and back, then noise detection accuracy is improved, but the detection time and processing duration increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The storage module stores parallel video data in advance before the actual noise detection process. This preliminary preparation allows the detection system to have test data ready, eliminating the need for real-time data generation during detection and reducing overall detection time while maintaining measurement accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a copy of the original parallel video data through the encoding process (converting to serial data and back), which allows comparison between the original and converted data. This copying mechanism enables accurate bit error rate measurement without requiring the original data to be destroyed or modified, and can be performed efficiently with proper buffer management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
