Solution Overview

Problem

Display apparatuses face challenges in maintaining optimal display quality across varying viewing angles due to fixed overdriving values, which do not adapt to user positions, leading to suboptimal image rendering.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and method that include a position detector, driving controller, gate driver, and data driver to determine a user's viewing angle and generate an overdriving value based on polynomial equations and shift data, allowing for real-time adjustment of overdriving values to enhance display quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a fixed overdriving value is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the display quality deteriorates when viewing angles vary

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverdriving value adjustment mechanismVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic overdriving value adjustment by calculating viewing angles through position detection and updating overdriving values in real-time. The system transitions from static fixed values to dynamic adaptive values that change based on user position, thereby maintaining optimal display quality across different viewing angles without requiring complex manual adjustment mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the overdriving value parameter based on detected user position and calculated viewing angles. By establishing correspondence between position data, viewing angle calculations, and overdriving value adjustments, the system optimizes display performance for different viewing conditions. This parameter adaptation resolves the contradiction by enabling quality maintenance without fixed complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If overdriving values are adjusted according to viewing angle, then the display quality is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidoverdriving value adjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-adjustment by automatically detecting user position, calculating viewing angles, and determining appropriate overdriving values without external intervention. The controller autonomously processes position data, applies calculation formulas, and updates display parameters, eliminating the need for complex manual control mechanisms while maintaining high display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback loop where user position is continuously detected, viewing angles are calculated based on position changes, and overdriving values are adjusted accordingly. This closed-loop system ensures optimal display quality is maintained through continuous adaptation, managing complexity through automated feedback-driven adjustment rather than static configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Speed

If real-time overdriving value adjustment is implemented, then the response speed is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-establishes the framework for real-time adjustment by detecting user position and calculating viewing angles continuously. By preparing position data and applying calculation formulas in advance, the system minimizes processing delays during actual display updates. The preliminary detection and calculation frameworks enable rapid overdriving value adjustment without significant processing overhead.
