Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for compensating for brightness in display panels result in poor display effects, with high-brightness displays experiencing compensation transition issues and low-brightness displays having insufficient compensation, leading to dark lines that cannot be completely eliminated.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that acquire the brightness value of a display panel, determine a corresponding compensation function and parameters based on the brightness value, and compensate the image display brightness using these functions, with the degree of compensation negatively correlated with the display panel's brightness value.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a fixed compensation function is used for all brightness levels, then the compensation process is simple, but high-brightness displays experience compensation transition issues and low-brightness displays have insufficient compensation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation process complexityVSAvoidbrightness compensation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic brightness compensation by selecting different compensation functions based on the current brightness level of the display panel. The system divides brightness into multiple ranges (first brightness range, second brightness range, third brightness range) and applies corresponding compensation functions (first compensation function, second compensation function, third compensation function) appropriately. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the compensation process neither overly simple nor excessively complex, but rather adaptively matched to actual display conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of the compensation function based on brightness level. Different compensation functions have different parameter sets optimized for specific brightness ranges. By adjusting which compensation function is active based on the current brightness value, the system achieves precise compensation across the full brightness spectrum while maintaining reasonable process complexity through systematic parameter management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If a high degree of brightness compensation is applied, then dark lines in low-brightness displays can be eliminated, but spots may appear in high-brightness displays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness uniformityVSAvoidspots and dark lines
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using different compensation functions for different brightness ranges. The first compensation function is designed with parameters suitable for high-brightness conditions to avoid spot formation, while the second and third compensation functions use different parameters optimized for low-brightness conditions to effectively eliminate dark lines. This localized optimization of compensation characteristics resolves the contradiction by preventing harmful effects in each specific brightness context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically selects the appropriate compensation function based on the current brightness level. When brightness is high, the first compensation function is applied with lower compensation degree to prevent spots. When brightness is low, the second or third compensation functions are applied with higher compensation degree to eliminate dark lines. This dynamic adjustment prevents the generation of harmful artifacts across different operating conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If brightness compensation is increased for low-brightness displays, then dark lines can be removed, but the compensation may cause transition problems in high-brightness displays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedark line eliminationVSAvoidcompensation transition stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic selection of compensation functions based on brightness range. The system determines whether the current brightness value falls within the first brightness range, second brightness range, or third brightness range, and accordingly selects the first compensation function, second compensation function, or third compensation function. This dynamic approach ensures that high compensation is applied only when needed (low brightness) while maintaining stability at high brightness levels, resolving the contradiction between dark line elimination and transition stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the brightness compensation process into multiple distinct stages corresponding to different brightness ranges. By dividing the overall brightness spectrum into three ranges and assigning specific compensation functions to each range, the system avoids applying inappropriate high compensation to high-brightness displays while ensuring adequate compensation for low-brightness displays. This segmentation prevents transition problems by ensuring each compensation function is applied only within its optimal brightness range.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
