Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The gamma module is designed to perform multiple functions by outputting different initialization voltages (first initialization voltage, second initialization voltage, third initialization voltage) and reference voltage depending on the operating mode. This single module serves both internal compensation mode and detection mode without requiring separate power supply circuits, thereby achieving mode compatibility while avoiding increased power resource consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the output voltage parameters of the gamma module based on the operating mode. By adjusting which voltage (first initialization voltage, second initialization voltage, third initialization voltage, or reference voltage) is output according to the mode signal, the system achieves adaptability between different modes without adding separate power supply voltages, thus resolving the contradiction between mode compatibility and power resource usage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
