Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic devices can only support one type of 3D display mode, limiting their ability to display video images using different 3D display technologies such as polarized-light and shutter 3D technologies.

Innovation Solution

A display processing system and method that includes receiving modules, converting modules to convert 3D display data from a source mode to a target mode, and a transmitting module to send the converted data to a display panel, enabling the same device to support multiple 3D display modes by converting data formats and frequencies as needed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a conventional electronic device is designed to support only one type of 3D display mode, then the device structure can be simplified and manufacturing cost reduced, but the device cannot be used to view 3D video images with different 3D display modes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D display mode compatibilityVSAvoiddata processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display processing system is designed to support multiple 3D display modes (frame sequential, interlaced, side-by-side) through a universal data processing architecture. The system includes multiple receiving modules for different data transmission formats and multiple converting modules that can process and convert between different 3D display modes, enabling a single device to handle various 3D content formats without requiring separate dedicated hardware for each mode.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes data processing parameters based on the input 3D display mode. The converting modules can adjust data arrangement, transmission format, and frequency parameters to match the target display mode requirements. This parameter adaptation allows the same hardware infrastructure to support different 3D modes by reconfiguring data processing characteristics rather than requiring dedicated hardware for each mode.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple receiving modules for different data transmission formats are added to support various 3D display modes, then adaptability improves, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transmission format supportVSAvoidmanufacturing cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs multiple receiving modules that can handle different data transmission formats (V-by-One, DVI, HDMI) within a unified processing framework. Each receiving module is designed with common functional capabilities that can process multiple formats, reducing the need for completely separate processing paths for each format and thereby lowering manufacturing costs while maintaining broad compatibility.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The converting modules serve as intermediaries between the receiving modules and the display panel. These intermediary components standardize the data processing interface, allowing different receiving modules to communicate through a common protocol and format conversion mechanism, thereby simplifying the overall system integration and reducing manufacturing complexity despite supporting multiple formats.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Speed

If frequency multiplication is performed to convert source RGB data to target RGB data, then the display frequency can be increased for better 3D effect, but the processing time and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay frequencyVSAvoidprocessing energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs frequency multiplication in advance during the data conversion process, before the data is sent to the display panel. By pre-processing the RGB data at the required higher frequency, the system ensures that the display panel receives data ready for immediate high-frequency operation, avoiding the need for real-time frequency conversion during display and thereby reducing overall processing energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
