Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If repeated adjustments and testing of voltages at tie points are performed, then color correction can be achieved, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor correction accuracyVSAvoiddebugging time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-calculates and stores the correspondence relationships between brightness, color coordinates, and voltage values before actual gamma correction is needed. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for repeated adjustments and testing during the debugging phase, significantly reducing time loss while maintaining color correction accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a computational model that copies and simulates the complex relationship between multiple parameters (brightness, color coordinates, voltage values). By using this pre-established model, the system can directly determine target voltage values without performing repeated physical adjustments and measurements, thus solving the contradiction between accuracy and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Ease of operation

If interpolation is used for other grayscales, then the process is simplified, but accuracy is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a comprehensive correspondence model that captures the exact relationships between brightness, color coordinates, and voltage values across all grayscales. This model serves as a precise reference that eliminates the need for interpolation, allowing direct lookup of accurate voltage values while maintaining process simplicity through automated calculation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the problem from one requiring interpolation between discrete tie points to a direct parameter lookup problem. By pre-calculating and storing the complete correspondence relationships for all relevant parameters, the system achieves both ease of operation (direct lookup) and high precision (exact values without approximation).
