Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the overdrive compression algorithm is used to compress the previous frame image, then the storage cost is reduced, but the picture quality deteriorates due to compression artifacts and smearing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating gray scale compensation values and storing them in a lookup table before the actual display process. The verification method also performs preliminary compression and decomposition to generate test images that simulate real operating conditions, allowing quality assessment before deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters by adjusting the driving voltage through gray scale compensation values stored in the lookup table. The verification process tests different compression algorithms with varying parameters to identify the optimal balance between compression efficiency and picture quality, preventing smearing artifacts.
2Manufacturing precision
If the liquid crystal response time is increased to ensure accurate gray scale display, then the display precision is improved, but the response speed deteriorates causing smear in fast moving pictures
Solution Approach 1:
The overdrive circuit performs preliminary calculations to determine the required gray scale compensation value before the liquid crystal response is needed. By pre-computing the compensation based on the lookup table and previous frame data, the system prepares the optimal driving voltage in advance, enabling faster response without sacrificing precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a lookup table that stores pre-calculated gray scale compensation values, effectively copying proven compensation patterns from previous frames. This allows the system to rapidly retrieve and apply appropriate compensation values without performing complex real-time calculations, thereby improving response speed while maintaining display precision.
3Quantity of substance
If the overdrive circuit stores the previous frame image with compression, then the cost is reduced, but the verification of compression algorithm quality becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The verification method performs preliminary compression and decomposition operations to generate test images that simulate real compression scenarios. By pre-processing test images through the same compression algorithm and then analyzing the results for smearing artifacts, the system makes quality detection feasible without requiring expensive uncompressed storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The verification process creates copies of original test images, applies compression to these copies, and then compares the decompressed copies against the originals. This copying approach allows quality verification using compressed data without needing to store multiple high-resolution original frames simultaneously, thus maintaining cost efficiency while enabling quality assessment.

AI summary
A compression algorithm verification method, a storage medium, and a display device are provided. The compression algorithm verification method includes the steps of: acquiring an original image; using an overdrive compression algorithm to be verified to sequentially compress and decompress the original image to obtain a first image; the first image being performed with image processing to obtain a second image; the first image and the second image serving as a previous frame image and a current frame image respectively, a gray scale compensation value being superimposed on the second image based on an overdrive technique to obtain a third image; and the third image being controlled to be dynamically displayed in such a manner that the first image is changed to the second image for verifying whether the overdrive compression algorithm meets the predetermined requirements.
