Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the display panel operates with large size, high refresh rate and high resolution, then the image performance is improved, but the power consumption increases excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage performanceVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic voltage adjustment by determining grayscale extreme values for each frame and adaptively modifying the second power supply voltage based on these extreme values. The voltage value dynamically changes according to the actual display content, transitioning from static to dynamic operation to reduce unnecessary power consumption while maintaining image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the voltage parameter (second power supply voltage) based on grayscale extreme values extracted from display data. By adjusting the voltage parameter adaptively according to content requirements, the system achieves optimal balance between power consumption and image performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Use of energy by moving object

If the voltage value is adjusted to reduce power consumption, then the energy consumption is reduced, but the screen may flicker

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy consumptionVSAvoidimage stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by compensating for potential flicker effects through adaptive voltage adjustment. By proactively modifying the voltage based on grayscale extreme values before display output, the system prevents flicker from occurring while still achieving power reduction, rather than merely reacting to flicker after it appears.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring grayscale extreme values in display data and adjusting the second power supply voltage accordingly. This closed-loop control ensures that voltage adjustments maintain image stability while achieving power savings, preventing flicker through real-time adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
