Solution Overview

Problem

Current organic light emitting display devices can only display either 2D or 3D images, requiring separate devices for each type, which is inconvenient for watching both 2D and 3D content simultaneously.

Innovation Solution

An organic light emitting display device with a data processor that classifies incoming data as 2D or 3D, producing additional frame data as needed, and a timing controller that manages pixel emission states to display both 2D and 3D images on a single panel by controlling power drivers and scan signals, synchronized with shutter glasses for proper viewing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate display devices are used for 2D and 3D images, then image display capability is improved, but device complexity and user convenience deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage display capabilityVSAvoidnumber of devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display device is designed to perform multiple functions by displaying both 2D and 3D images on a single panel. The timing controller and data processor enable the same display hardware to switch between different display modes, eliminating the need for separate 2D and 3D display devices and improving user convenience while maintaining versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The display device dynamically switches between 2D and 3D display modes based on input signal type. The timing controller detects whether the input is 2D or 3D content and adjusts the scanning and emission timing accordingly, allowing the same hardware to adapt to different display requirements without physical reconfiguration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Use of energy by moving object

If pixels remain in emission state during scan period, then power consumption is reduced, but image quality and synchronization deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The display employs periodic emission control where pixels are turned off during the scan period and activated during the emission period. This periodic switching synchronized with the scan timing ensures that pixels do not emit light during data writing, preventing display artifacts and maintaining image quality while managing power consumption through controlled emission cycles

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
