Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If high voltage is applied to components of display devices to enable display panels to produce images with high luminance, then luminance is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveluminanceVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic power management by enabling the display device to switch between first and second driving powers based on image luminance requirements. The power supply dynamically adjusts the driving power supplied to the data driving circuit, transitioning between high power mode for high luminance images and low power mode for standard luminance images, thereby optimizing the balance between luminance performance and power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the operating parameters of the display device by adjusting the driving power level based on image characteristics. The system monitors image luminance requirements and modifies the power supply parameters accordingly, switching between different power levels to match the actual display needs, thus reducing unnecessary power consumption while maintaining required luminance quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If driving power is increased to maintain high luminance, then image quality is improved, but unnecessary power consumption increases when high luminance is not required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidunnecessary power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements parameter adjustment by changing the driving power level based on actual image requirements. The system detects when high luminance is needed and adjusts the power supply parameters accordingly, switching between first driving power for high quality display and second driving power for energy efficiency, thus eliminating unnecessary power consumption while maintaining image quality when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms to monitor image luminance requirements and adjust driving power accordingly. The system continuously evaluates the display needs and provides feedback to the power supply module, which then adjusts the power delivery to match actual requirements, preventing energy waste when high luminance is not necessary while ensuring image quality when it is required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
