Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies face challenges in maintaining image quality when switching between different viewing angle improvement rates, leading to incorrect gray-scale generation and deterioration of display image quality.

Innovation Solution

A method for compensating display data of a display panel involves obtaining display data, determining a viewing angle improvement rate, obtaining a target compensation table based on this rate, and compensating the display data using this table. This approach allows for different target compensation tables to be used based on varying viewing angle improvement rates, preventing incorrect gray-scale generation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the viewing angle improvement algorithm is enabled to improve viewing angle characteristics, then viewing angle performance is improved, but image quality deteriorates due to graininess

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angle characteristicsVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the viewing angle improvement rate adjustable and image-dependent rather than fixed. The system dynamically selects different viewing angle improvement rates (0%, 50%, 100%) based on image characteristics and viewing conditions, allowing optimal balance between viewing angle performance and image quality for different scenarios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of gray-scale values through compensation algorithms. By adjusting gray-scale parameters based on the selected viewing angle improvement rate and image characteristics, the system compensates for the graininess effect while maintaining improved viewing angle characteristics, thus resolving the contradiction between the two performance aspects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If the viewing angle improvement rate is changed to optimize for different images, then image quality can be improved, but debugging effect deteriorates due to incorrect gray-scales

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoiddebugging effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing multiple compensation algorithms corresponding to different viewing angle improvement rates (0%, 50%, 100%). When the viewing angle improvement rate is changed, the system automatically selects the corresponding pre-configured compensation algorithm, ensuring correct gray-scales are generated without requiring re-debugging. This preliminary preparation of multiple compensation strategies eliminates the need for manual re-adjustment when switching between different viewing angle improvement rates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If a single compensation algorithm is used for all viewing angle improvement rates, then device complexity is reduced, but image quality deteriorates when switching rates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation algorithm pathVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a multi-functional compensation system where a single compensation module can handle multiple viewing angle improvement rates (0%, 50%, 100%) through different compensation algorithms. The system universally applies the appropriate compensation strategy based on the current viewing angle improvement rate, maintaining image quality across all operating conditions without requiring separate hardware paths for each rate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
