Solution Overview

Problem

Current display terminal products face a challenge of low signal-to-noise ratio in image recognition performance, primarily due to insufficient visible light emission and noise interference from adjacent light-emitting units.

Innovation Solution

The proposed solution involves a display panel design with a light guiding layer and strategically positioned light-emitting and photosensitive units. The light guiding structures are optimized to direct visible light emitted by light-emitting units directly to corresponding photosensitive units, while minimizing noise interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If light-emitting units are arranged in a display panel for image recognition, then image recognition function is provided, but noise interference from adjacent light-emitting units reduces signal-to-noise ratio

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage recognition performanceVSAvoidnoise interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the light emission function into separate units (first light-emitting unit and second light-emitting unit) with distinct functions. The first light-emitting unit emits first visible light for image recognition while the second light-emitting unit emits second visible light for display, separating the imaging function from the display function to reduce mutual interference and improve signal-to-noise ratio.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different characteristics to different parts of the light-emitting units. The first light-emitting unit is designed with specific emission characteristics optimized for image recognition, while the second light-emitting unit has characteristics optimized for display. This local differentiation allows each unit to perform its specific function with high quality while minimizing interference on the other.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If visible light emission is increased to improve image recognition, then signal intensity increases, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal intensityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the lighting function into dedicated first light-emitting units for image recognition and second light-emitting units for display. This allows independent control of each unit's energy consumption, enabling the first light-emitting units to emit sufficient light for accurate image recognition only when needed, rather than continuously powering all light-emitting units at high intensity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs partial action by activating only the first light-emitting units during image recognition operations, while the second light-emitting units remain inactive or operate at lower intensity. This selective activation achieves the necessary signal intensity for image recognition without the energy cost of operating all light-emitting units at full power.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
