Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display apparatuses have an obvious boundary between the content and the bezel, which detracts from the user viewing experience by creating a visual distinction that can be distracting.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus with a control device that adjusts the background portion of the content displayed on the display area based on an image of the display panel, ensuring that the image parameters of the background and frame areas match, thereby eliminating the visual boundary and creating a borderless display effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a substantial bezel is used around the display apparatus, then the structural integrity and support are improved, but the visual boundary between content and bezel becomes obvious, deteriorating the user viewing experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidvisual boundary
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies color matching between the bezel and background portion of the display content. The control device adjusts the image parameters (color and brightness) of the background portion to match the bezel area, making them visually indistinguishable. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining the physical bezel structure while eliminating its visual presence through dynamic color adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes the image parameters (brightness and color) of the background portion based on the captured image data. By continuously adjusting these parameters to match the bezel's visual characteristics, the system eliminates the visual boundary while preserving the structural integrity of the physical bezel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the background portion of the content is adjusted to match the frame area, then the visual boundary is eliminated, but the device complexity increases due to additional image acquisition and processing components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual boundaryVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses the display apparatus's own display content (the background portion) to match and blend with the bezel area. Rather than requiring external calibration devices or complex hardware modifications, the display apparatus serves itself by dynamically adjusting its displayed content to achieve visual integration with the frame.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback loop where the image acquisition device captures the display panel including the bezel area, the control device analyzes the image parameters, and then adjusts the background portion accordingly. This closed-loop system automatically eliminates the visual boundary through continuous monitoring and adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
