Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of stationary object
If the display panel operates at high temperature, then the display continues to function, but the transistor electrical characteristics change causing charging capability degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the driving voltage parameter dynamically based on temperature conditions. When temperature increases causing transistor threshold voltage shifts, the system adjusts the driving voltage to compensate, thereby maintaining stable charging capability despite temperature-induced electrical characteristic changes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the actual charging capability is measured and compared with expected values. Based on this feedback, the driving voltage is adjusted to compensate for temperature effects, ensuring the display maintains reliable operation throughout its working duration
2Reliability
If the driving voltage is increased to compensate for temperature effects, then the charging capability is maintained, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic adjustment of driving voltage rather than a fixed increase. The voltage is modified only to the extent necessary to compensate for measured temperature effects, avoiding excessive energy consumption while maintaining adequate charging capability
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the driving voltage parameter adaptively based on actual temperature conditions and measured charging capability, rather than applying a constant voltage increase. This ensures energy efficiency by applying compensation only when and to the degree that it is needed
3Adaptability or versatility
If the pixel circuit charging capability varies with temperature, then the display adapts to different operating conditions, but the display uniformity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes to the driving voltage to compensate for temperature-induced variations in pixel circuit charging capability. This compensation equalizes the actual performance across different temperature conditions, maintaining display uniformity while allowing operation across various temperatures
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from charging capability measurements to adjust driving voltages individually or in groups, compensating for temperature effects. This feedback mechanism ensures that display uniformity is maintained across different operating conditions by equalizing the actual charging capability
