Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If mini LED display screen operates for long time, then heat energy accumulates and temperature rises, but luminous efficiency decreases and visual sticking image appears

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontinuous operation timeVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing gray scale compensation in advance based on predicted temperature rise. The system calculates compensation values before the actual temperature issue occurs, using historical temperature data and luminous efficiency characteristics to pre-adjust the gray scale parameters, thereby preventing visual sticking images before they appear

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring temperature changes and luminous efficiency degradation, then using this information to dynamically adjust gray scale compensation parameters. The system creates a closed-loop control where temperature and display quality measurements feed back into the compensation algorithm to optimize performance in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If gray scale compensation is performed uniformly across the screen, then processing complexity is low, but temperature difference between regions cannot be addressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation processing complexityVSAvoiddisplay uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by dividing the display screen into multiple regional zones and implementing differentiated gray scale compensation strategies for each zone. Each region receives customized compensation parameters based on its specific temperature characteristics and luminous efficiency degradation patterns, allowing precise correction of local temperature differences while maintaining manageable overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Device complexity

If temperature rise is not compensated, then display structure remains simple, but visual sticking image occurs and display effect deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation system complexityVSAvoidvisual sticking image
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting gray scale parameters in response to temperature variations. The system modifies luminous efficiency parameters, gray scale mapping tables, and compensation coefficients based on measured temperature data, transforming the display's operational parameters to counteract temperature-induced degradation without requiring complex hardware modifications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
