Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional moving image display apparatuses face limitations in data capacity, data transfer times, and drawing times due to the need for multiple display screens and large amounts of image data, especially when displaying moving images with varying drive conditions.

Innovation Solution

A moving image display apparatus that employs a display unit, a storage unit for area sectional information and display format information, and a display control unit to sequentially display divided areas with changing display colors, reducing the amount of data required by using area identification and display color identification data to control the display of image patterns.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple display screens are prepared to display moving images, then the moving image display quality is improved, but the data capacity requirement increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemoving image display qualityVSAvoiddata capacity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into multiple divided areas, and only the necessary divided areas corresponding to the image pattern are displayed. This segmentation allows the system to display moving images with multiple screens worth of quality while using only the data for one screen, as only relevant portions of the display area are actively updated with image data.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of preparing and managing data for multiple complete display screens, the system performs partial action by displaying only the necessary divided areas that correspond to the actual image pattern. This reduces the data capacity requirement to that of a single screen while maintaining the visual effect of multiple screens through sequential display of divided areas.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Reliability

If multiple display screens are prepared to display moving images, then the moving image display quality is improved, but the data transfer time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemoving image display qualityVSAvoiddata transfer time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the display into divided areas and only transferring data for the necessary areas rather than complete multiple screens, the data transfer time is reduced while maintaining display quality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transfers only the partial data needed for the divided areas that correspond to the image pattern, rather than transferring data for multiple complete screens, thereby reducing data transfer time while achieving the same visual effect.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Reliability

If multiple display screens are prepared to display moving images, then the moving image display quality is improved, but the drawing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemoving image display qualityVSAvoiddrawing time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The display content is segmented into divided areas, and the drawing operation is performed only on the necessary divided areas rather than on multiple complete screens. This reduces the drawing time while maintaining the visual quality of moving images.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs drawing operations only on the partial areas that are necessary to display the image pattern, rather than drawing complete multiple screens. This reduces the drawing time while achieving the same visual effect through sequential display of the divided areas.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Productivity

If the reproducing time is prolonged or reproducing speed is increased, then the moving image quality is improved, but the data amount increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereproducing speedVSAvoiddata amount

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The display is segmented into divided areas, and only the data for the necessary divided areas is prepared and transferred. This allows for faster reproducing speeds with reduced data amounts, as the system handles only the essential portions of the display content rather than complete multiple frames.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system prepares and displays only the partial data necessary for the divided areas that correspond to the image pattern, enabling increased reproducing speed without proportionally increasing the data amount. The sequential display of divided areas achieves the moving image effect with minimal data requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action
