OLED Visual Priming for Smartphone Display Response
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital displays, such as LCD and LED, have response times that limit the feasibility of visual priming and augmentation techniques, which require display durations of less than 10 ms, making them impractical for enhancing visual recognition and response times on cellphones and other devices.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of OLED displays with response times of 1 ms enables the use of visual priming and augmentation methods by providing a first imperceptible visual image for less than 10 ms, followed by a second perceptible image, and concurrently displaying both types of images with controlled contrast, luminosity, and position, facilitated by a Distillation Module and Display Controller.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If LCD or LED displays are used, then the display device is widely available and cost-effective, but the response time is too slow (greater than 10 ms) to enable visual priming and augmentation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical parameter of display response time by transitioning from LCD/LED technology (response time > 10 ms) to OLED technology (response time = 1 ms). This parameter change enables the display to meet the temporal requirements for visual priming and augmentation techniques, allowing display durations of less than 10 ms while maintaining widespread availability and cost-effectiveness.
2Reliability
If display duration is extended to make images consciously perceptible, then users can see the images clearly, but the visual priming effect is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by displaying a first imperceptible visual image (visual prime) before the second perceptible visual image. The visual prime is displayed for less than 10 ms to create subconscious neural activation and memory encoding, preparing the visual system for subsequent recognition of the main image without the user consciously perceiving the prime itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses periodic action by sequentially displaying multiple visual images at controlled time intervals: first the imperceptible visual prime (less than 10 ms), then the perceptible main image (greater than 10 ms). This periodic sequence of subliminal and supraliminal stimuli creates the visual priming effect while maintaining clear recognition of the primary content.
3Productivity
If only perceptible images are displayed, then users can consciously recognize content, but response time and recognition speed are not enhanced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the visual display into two distinct components: a first imperceptible visual image (visual prime) and a second perceptible visual image (main content). Each segment serves a different function - the prime segment activates neural pathways subconsciously to enhance recognition speed, while the main segment provides clear conscious recognition. This segmentation allows the system to achieve enhanced productivity without excessive complexity by using simple sequential display control.

AI summary
A method for enhancing a visual display of digital information on cell phones includes providing a first visual image to the cell phone user at a display time of 10 ms or less; and providing a perceptible second visual image corresponding to the first visual image on the display. A visual augmentation method and matching game method is also provided as are cell phones.
