Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If gamma tuning is performed using a standard gamma curve with gamma value of 2.2, then the display module can be tuned according to a conventional standard, but algorithm errors cause large differences between actual brightness and target brightness at certain grayscale values

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness accuracyVSAvoiddisplay effect consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The gamma curve adjustment is segmented into multiple intervals (first interval, second interval, third interval) with different adjustment strategies. The first interval uses linear adjustment, the second interval uses gamma curve adjustment, and the third interval uses linear adjustment again. This segmentation allows precise control over different brightness ranges to eliminate algorithm errors at specific grayscale values while maintaining overall display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different adjustment methods are applied to different intervals of the gamma curve based on local requirements. The first and third intervals use linear functional relationships for precise brightness control, while the second interval uses gamma curve adjustment for smooth transitions. This local quality approach ensures that each interval receives the most appropriate adjustment method for its specific characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If a linear functional relationship is used in the first interval between grayscale values and target brightness values, then brightness accuracy is improved in that interval, but the overall gamma curve complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness accuracyVSAvoidgamma curve structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The gamma curve is divided into multiple intervals, each with its own functional relationship. The first interval uses a linear functional relationship for precise brightness control, while other intervals may use different relationships. This segmentation allows the system to apply complexity only where needed (in the first interval for brightness accuracy) while keeping other parts simpler.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the functional relationship parameter from a standard gamma curve to a linear functional relationship in the first interval. By adjusting the mathematical model parameter (from power function to linear function) in specific intervals, the system achieves better brightness accuracy without applying complexity across the entire gamma curve.
