Solution Overview

Problem

Electronic devices with self-light-emitting displays can experience afterimages due to differing lifetimes and brightness levels of light-emitting elements, leading to inconsistent object magnification on the screen.

Innovation Solution

An operating method and electronic device configuration that dynamically updates object magnification based on display state switching, using a processor to adjust magnification settings and ensure consistent display quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If self light-emitting display is used, then display function is improved, but afterimage is generated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay brightnessVSAvoidafterimage generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the magnification of the object dynamic rather than fixed. The object's magnification is adjusted based on the display state (on/off switching), which prevents afterimage generation by changing the display conditions dynamically. This resolves the contradiction by allowing the display to maintain brightness functionality while adapting magnification to prevent afterimage effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the magnification parameter of the object based on display state transitions. When the display turns on or off, the magnification is adjusted accordingly, which prevents afterimage generation caused by fixed-position objects. This parameter change approach allows the display to maintain its self light-emitting advantage while eliminating the afterimage problem.

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If object magnification is fixed, then display simplicity is maintained, but afterimage is generated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay control complexityVSAvoidafterimage generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the fixed magnification into a dynamic parameter that changes with display state. The processor automatically adjusts magnification when the display switches between on and off states, which prevents afterimage generation without requiring complex user intervention. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between simplicity and afterimage prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically adjusting the object's magnification based on display state transitions. The processor monitors display on/off states and autonomously changes magnification parameters without user input, which prevents afterimage generation while maintaining operational simplicity. This self-adjusting mechanism resolves the contradiction between device complexity and afterimage prevention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
