Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices suffer from crosstalk issues in dual-view displays, where one image is mixed with another due to imperfect light separation, leading to varying luminance and display quality issues across different viewing angles.

Innovation Solution

The display device employs a control unit to adjust the gray scale settings of the second image based on the first image's display pattern, ensuring consistent luminance across different viewing angles by compensating the second input data to fall within a specific luminance range, thereby reducing crosstalk.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the second image is displayed with the second lowest gray scale in all display patterns, then the manufacturing process is simple, but crosstalk occurs and display quality deteriorates due to varying luminance across viewing angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of gray scale settingVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the gray scale setting of the second image adaptive rather than fixed. The control unit dynamically adjusts the gray scale of the second image based on the display pattern of the first image (highest or lowest gray scale) to compensate for crosstalk effects. This dynamic adjustment ensures consistent luminance across different viewing angles while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the gray scale parameter of the second image based on the display pattern conditions. When the first image is displayed with the highest gray scale, the second image uses the second lowest gray scale; when the first image is displayed with the lowest gray scale, the second image uses a gray scale higher than the second lowest. This parameter change compensates for crosstalk and maintains display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If the second image is displayed with the second lowest gray scale without compensation, then the device operation is simple, but crosstalk causes varying luminance across different viewing angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of controlVSAvoidluminance consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback control by having the control unit adjust the gray scale of the second image based on the display pattern of the first image. The system monitors the display pattern (whether the first image is at highest or lowest gray scale) and provides compensatory adjustment to the second image's gray scale, ensuring luminance consistency across viewing angles while maintaining operational simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

If no gray scale compensation is applied to the second image, then the device complexity is low, but crosstalk reduces display quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomplexity of control mechanismVSAvoidcrosstalk suppression
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the gray scale parameter of the second image based on the display pattern of the first image. This simple parameter adjustment approach suppresses crosstalk effects without requiring complex hardware modifications or control mechanisms, thereby maintaining low device complexity while improving display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

In a first display pattern in which first input data corresponding to a first image is a first highest gray scale and second input data corresponding to a second image is a second lowest gray scale, a control unit sets the second lowest gray scale as display data of the second image, and in a second display pattern in which the first input data is a first lowest gray scale and the second input data is the second lowest gray scale, the control unit sets a gray scale larger than the second lowest gray scale as the display data of the second image.
