Solution Overview

Problem

Existing LCD devices face issues with inconsistent halation due to uniform backlight processing across objects of varying sizes and shapes, leading to differing visual experiences and increased power consumption.

Innovation Solution

A backlight adjustment method that determines suitable adjustment schemes for different connected domains within the display screen by analyzing backlight values and applying specific parameters and filtering operators to optimize backlight values at boundary positions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the same backlight processing procedure is adopted for objects with different areas and sizes, then the implementation is simple, but the halation effect varies and visual experience is inconsistent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebacklight adjustment adaptabilityVSAvoidbacklight processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating backlight processing based on object characteristics. It calculates object area and uses this information to selectively apply different processing procedures: objects with area less than a threshold undergo halation suppression processing, while larger objects receive normal processing. This ensures each object receives appropriate treatment based on its local properties, achieving consistent visual experience without uniform complex processing for all objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Use of energy by moving object

If backlight brightness is reduced to decrease power consumption, then power consumption decreases, but display contrast and visual quality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoiddisplay brightness
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by dynamically adjusting backlight brightness based on object characteristics. It calculates object area and uses this parameter to determine processing intensity: smaller objects receive stronger halation suppression with greater brightness reduction, while larger objects maintain higher brightness. This adaptive parameter adjustment reduces overall power consumption while preserving visual quality for prominent objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If halation suppression is applied to all objects, then halation is reduced, but small objects may be over-processed and visual quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovehalationVSAvoidbacklight processing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making halation suppression processing selective rather than universal. It calculates the area of each object and compares it against a threshold: only objects with area below the threshold undergo halation suppression processing, while larger objects are excluded. This ensures processing precision by applying halation reduction only where it is visually beneficial, avoiding over-processing of prominent objects that would degrade their visual quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
