Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If display devices with different characteristics or specifications are combined to manufacture a hybrid display device, then various image effects suitable for gaming displays can be output, but visual heterogeneity occurs due to differences in output timing and pixel pitch
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting image characteristics such as timing and size parameters to match the specifications of each display device. The sync control module modifies output timing and scaling parameters dynamically based on the connected display device's characteristics, resolving visual heterogeneity while maintaining adaptability to different gaming display configurations
Solution Approach 2:
The sync control module serves as an intermediary between the image source and multiple display devices with different specifications. It mediates the image signal by performing timing synchronization and size adjustment, ensuring that images are displayed continuously across LCD and LED panels with different pixel pitches and output timing characteristics
2Adaptability or versatility
If display devices with different characteristics or specifications are combined, then the hybrid display device can be manufactured with diverse configurations, but separate driving devices and separate content are required for each display device
Solution Approach 1:
The sync control module implements universality by providing a single control interface that can drive multiple types of display devices (LCD and LED) with different specifications. It performs multi-functionality by simultaneously handling timing synchronization, size scaling, and image distribution to various display devices, eliminating the need for separate driving devices and content for each display type
3Adaptability or versatility
If display devices with different pixel pitch are combined, then the hybrid display device can accommodate various display technologies, but visual heterogeneity occurs due to differences in pixel pitch
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the size and scaling parameters of images based on the pixel pitch characteristics of each display device. The sync control module calculates appropriate scaling factors and applies them to maintain image continuity across display devices with different pixel pitches, such as LCD panels with finer pixel density and LED panels with coarser pixel pitch
