1Ease of manufacture

If manual adjustment of compensation coefficients is used, then the adjustment process is simple to implement, but the adjustment efficiency is low and optimal results cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by allowing the display panel to automatically adjust its compensation coefficients through an iterative optimization process. The compensation coefficient adjustment module autonomously evaluates display uniformity metrics and updates coefficients without manual intervention, achieving both ease of implementation and high adjustment efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where display uniformity is continuously evaluated against target metrics, and compensation coefficients are adjusted based on the evaluation results. This closed-loop feedback enables automatic optimization while maintaining simple implementation through standardized adjustment procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If intelligent algorithms such as particle swarm optimization are used to obtain compensation coefficients, then the adjustment precision can be improved, but the adjustment time increases and the system becomes susceptible to local optima

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the display panel into multiple display areas and evaluates each area independently to generate area evaluation values. This segmentation allows for localized optimization strategies that converge faster than global optimization methods, reducing adjustment time while maintaining precision through targeted coefficient adjustments in specific problem areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes compensation coefficients based on evaluated display uniformity metrics. By iteratively adjusting parameters (compensation coefficients) based on measured performance (display uniformity), the system achieves precise adjustment without requiring lengthy pre-computation or complex optimization algorithms, thereby reducing adjustment time.

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by generating area evaluation values for different display areas and applying targeted compensation strategies to specific regions. This allows for higher compensation accuracy in problem areas without requiring full compensation data for all grayscales across the entire panel, thereby reducing storage requirements while maintaining overall compensation accuracy through localized optimization.
