Solution Overview

Problem

Existing modular display apparatuses require manual execution of a dehumidifying mode after module replacement, which can lead to overheating and potential defects if not properly managed, necessitating an automatic identification and dehumidification process.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus with a processor that identifies replacement displays by comparing initial setting data with module data, applies a dehumidifying mode based on calibration data, and controls displays to operate in this mode, updating calibration bits after completion.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual dehumidifying mode execution is required after module replacement, then operational control is maintained, but operational complexity increases and risk of overheating defects rises

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprevention of overheating and defectsVSAvoidmanual execution requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display apparatus automatically identifies replaced displays and executes dehumidifying mode without manual intervention. The system compares module data with initial setting data, detects replacements, and autonomously activates dehumidifying operation, making the system self-serve the dehumidification need.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs dehumidifying mode execution in advance before the replaced display is activated for normal use. By detecting module replacement and immediately initiating dehumidification, the system prepares the display beforehand to prevent overheating and defects that would occur if activated without dehumidification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If automatic module replacement identification is implemented, then operational safety improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic identification accuracyVSAvoiddata comparison mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback by comparing current module data with initial setting data stored in memory. This comparison mechanism provides feedback on whether module replacement has occurred, enabling automatic identification without complex additional hardware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The processor acts as an intermediary that compares module data with initial setting data and determines replacement status. This intermediary function simplifies the overall system architecture by using existing data processing capabilities rather than adding complex detection hardware.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
