Solution Overview

Problem

Ultra-wide display screens face limitations due to chip constraints, leading to image distortion and performance degradation, hindering their expansion.

Innovation Solution

An image processing apparatus divides image signals into sub-image signals, synchronously displaying them across multiple display sub-areas using a synchronization module and output modules, matching the number of output modules to time sequence controllers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If the display width is increased to ultra-wide (exceeding 4096 or 8192 pixels), then the viewing experience is improved, but the chip cost increases and image distortion occurs due to limited chip support

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay widthVSAvoidchip cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the ultra-wide display screen into multiple display sub-areas, each driven by a separate time sequence controller. The image signal is segmented into corresponding sub-image signals, allowing each controller to handle a manageable portion of the total display width without requiring a single high-cost ultra-wide chip

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses multiple standard-resolution time sequence controllers to collectively achieve ultra-wide display functionality. Each controller performs the same function (driving a display sub-area), but together they provide the multi-functional capability of ultra-wide screen support without requiring specialized ultra-wide chips

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

2Area of stationary object

If the display width is increased to ultra-wide, then the viewing experience is improved, but image distortion and performance degradation occur due to limited chip support

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay widthVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the image signal into sub-image signals corresponding to each display sub-area, the patent ensures that each time sequence controller processes only standard-resolution content, avoiding the image distortion and performance degradation that would occur with a single ultra-wide controller

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple standard-resolution display outputs to create the unified ultra-wide display effect. The sub-image signals are rendered in their respective sub-areas and collectively form the complete ultra-wide image, maintaining high image quality across the entire display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Area of stationary object

If multiple output modules are used to divide image signals, then ultra-wide display capability is achieved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay widthVSAvoidnumber of output modules
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses multiple time sequence controllers that each perform identical functions (processing and driving a display sub-area). This modular approach achieves ultra-wide capability through replication of standard components rather than requiring complex specialized hardware, thereby managing device complexity

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