Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical detection with an automated deep learning-based detection system. The defect detection model uses convolutional neural networks to automatically identify and classify defects, substituting human visual inspection with intelligent algorithmic analysis, thereby improving detection accuracy while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary defect detection model that acts as a bridge between raw display screen images and final quality decisions. This model processes images through multiple layers of feature extraction and defect classification, serving as an intelligent mediator that enhances detection accuracy without requiring direct human intervention in every inspection step.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service detection system where the defect detection model autonomously performs defect identification, classification, and quality assessment without requiring human experts to manually examine each image. The system automatically processes display screen images, detects defects, and generates quality results, eliminating subjective human factors while maintaining high productivity through automated batch processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the detection process by changing key parameters from subjective human judgment to objective algorithmic metrics. The defect detection model uses standardized defect categories, automated classification thresholds, and consistent evaluation criteria, converting variable human perception into stable, repeatable measurement parameters that improve both accuracy and system performance.

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the defect detection task into distinct functional modules: image preprocessing, defect detection, defect classification, and quality determination. The instance segmentation algorithm specifically segments different defect instances within images, allowing independent analysis and classification of each defect type, thereby managing model complexity through functional decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal defect detection model that handles multiple defect types and categories through a single integrated system. The model is designed to detect various defects (dead pixels, line defects, surface defects, etc.) and classify them into standardized categories, providing multi-functional capability that reduces overall system complexity compared to having separate specialized detectors for each defect type.

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