Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If spliced backlight sources are used in liquid crystal display devices with mini-LEDs, then production cost is reduced and panel thinning is achieved, but nonuniform display brightness occurs at splicing locations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction costVSAvoiddisplay brightness uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing grayscale-specific compensation values for pixels at splicing locations. Different compensation strategies are applied to different grayscale levels (first grayscale vs. second grayscale), allowing the display to maintain uniform brightness across splicing locations while preserving the cost-effective mini-LED backlight structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the brightness parameter dynamically based on grayscale levels. By adjusting compensation values according to different grayscale conditions, the system resolves the brightness nonuniformity issue without altering the physical spliced backlight structure, thus maintaining both cost efficiency and display quality.
