Modular Display Image Scaling and Power Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modular display apparatuses face challenges in dynamically scaling and re-scaling images to accommodate user preferences for specific display areas, as existing systems lack efficient methods to adjust image resolution and distribution across multiple display modules while minimizing power consumption and ensuring seamless visual experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus and method that scales images based on the resolution of a modular display apparatus, re-scales them according to user input, identifies display groups, decomposes the images, and transmits them to specific display modules, allowing for efficient display and power management by driving only necessary modules and displaying background images in unused areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If all display modules are activated to provide full display area, then display coverage is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into multiple independently controllable display modules or zones. The controller can selectively activate only the specific modules required to display the target image, rather than activating all modules across the entire display area. This segmentation enables precise control over which segments consume power, directly resolving the contradiction between full area coverage and power consumption.
2Measurement precision
If image is scaled to full resolution of display apparatus, then image quality is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of uniformly scaling the entire image to the full resolution of all display modules, the system identifies the specific region where the target image should be displayed and scales the image only to match the resolution requirements of that particular area. This local quality approach ensures high image quality in the displayed region while avoiding the unnecessary processing complexity of scaling to the maximum possible resolution across the entire display apparatus.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display modules are activated for flexible display configuration, then display versatility is improved, but system control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs dynamic control mechanisms that automatically adjust which display modules are activated based on the target image parameters and user preferences. Rather than requiring complex manual configuration or static pre-assignment of modules to specific functions, the controller dynamically determines the optimal set of modules to activate for each display task, simplifying the control complexity while maintaining high versatility.
