Solution Overview

Problem

The inefficiency of gray scale measurement in LED screens due to the need for step-by-step data collection, leading to prolonged measurement times and reduced display quality, is a significant challenge in the field of image processing.

Innovation Solution

A method that collects initial gray scale data from an LED screen while displaying an image and predicts the remaining data based on periodic changes, using different prediction modes depending on the type of chip used for driving the screen, thereby reducing the number of measurements required.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If gray scale data are collected step by step, then measurement accuracy is improved, but measurement time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegray scale measurement accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by collecting a first part of gray scale data in advance when the LED screen is displaying an image, before the actual measurement process begins. This preliminary data collection enables subsequent prediction of the second part of gray scale data, significantly reducing the time required for complete measurement while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by predicting the second part of gray scale data based on the periodic change characteristics of the first part data. Instead of directly measuring all gray scale values, the system creates a predicted copy of the remaining data through mathematical modeling and periodicity analysis, thereby reducing measurement time while preserving measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of information

If repeated measurements are performed to acquire all gray scale data, then measurement completeness is improved, but measurement efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegray scale data completenessVSAvoidmeasurement efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent ensures data completeness while improving efficiency by using prediction algorithms that generate the second part of gray scale data based on the periodic characteristics observed in the first part. This copying approach through mathematical prediction maintains complete gray scale information without requiring repeated physical measurements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by utilizing the periodic change characteristics of gray scale data as a key parameter. By identifying and exploiting this periodicity, the system can predict unknown gray scale values from known ones, ensuring data completeness while dramatically improving measurement efficiency through reduced measurement iterations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
