Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of different light types (red, green, blue LEDs) through individual focusing optics with specific radii of curvature. Each color channel receives customized optical control to compensate for their different emission characteristics, thereby maintaining high display resolution while preventing light displacement and preserving imaging quality.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by adjusting the radius of curvature of focusing optics according to the specific light type. Different radii of curvature are assigned to red, green, and blue LEDs to optimize their respective light emission patterns, enabling precise control over light displacement and maintaining both display resolution and imaging quality simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
