Solution Overview

Problem

Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) often suffer from non-uniform luminance and chromaticity issues due to manufacturing limitations and hardware defects, leading to visual discomfort as differences in display parameters between pixel points exceed human perception thresholds.

Innovation Solution

A screen correction method that acquires display parameters from multiple regions of an LCD, determines a target region with optimal luminance, converts these parameters to a uniform spectral tristimulus value, and compensates non-target regions to match the target display parameters, ensuring consistent luminance and chromaticity across the panel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If LCD panel manufacturing is performed using conventional methods, then production efficiency and cost are maintained, but display uniformity deteriorates due to luminance and chromaticity differences between pixel points

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay uniformityVSAvoidcorrection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The LCD screen is divided into multiple display regions, with each region further divided into multiple pixel points. This segmentation allows for region-specific correction parameters to be applied, addressing local luminance and chromaticity variations while maintaining overall system manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention applies gamma correction and lookup table (LUT) corrections by modifying display parameters such as luminance and chromaticity values. Different correction parameters are applied to different regions and pixel points based on their measured characteristics, thereby improving display uniformity through parameter optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If display parameters are not corrected, then device complexity remains low, but visual comfort deteriorates due to perceptible differences in luminance and chromaticity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual comfortVSAvoidcorrection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Correction parameters are pre-calculated and stored in lookup tables during the manufacturing or calibration phase. During actual display operation, the system simply retrieves and applies these pre-computed parameters, which improves visual comfort without adding significant real-time processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Lookup tables serve as intermediaries between the correction algorithm and the display hardware. The complex correction calculations are performed offline to generate LUTs, which then mediate the correction process during operation, simplifying the real-time system while maintaining correction effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If uniform correction is applied to all regions, then implementation is simple, but display accuracy deteriorates due to ignoring regional variations in luminance and chromaticity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay parameter accuracyVSAvoidregional correction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies different correction parameters to different display regions and pixel points based on their specific luminance and chromaticity characteristics. This localized correction approach ensures that each region is optimized for its particular properties, thereby improving overall display parameter accuracy while accounting for regional variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
