Solution Overview

Problem

The enhancement of backlight brightness in LCDs leads to fading of image colors, affecting the display effect.

Innovation Solution

A display apparatus and image processing method that utilizes a backlight gain parameter to determine a compensation parameter, optimizing the color brightness of the image by dynamically compensating chromaticity through a compensation parameter and peak brightness compensation curve.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If backlight brightness is improved, then display brightness is enhanced, but image color saturation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebacklight brightnessVSAvoidcolor saturation
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The backlight module is divided into multiple independently controllable partitions, allowing different brightness levels to be applied to different regions. This segmentation enables local brightness enhancement without uniformly increasing overall backlight intensity, thereby preventing color saturation loss while achieving the desired brightness improvement in specific areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the display are assigned different quality characteristics through localized backlight control. High brightness is applied only to partitions requiring it, while other partitions maintain lower brightness to preserve color saturation. This local quality approach resolves the contradiction by applying brightness enhancement selectively rather than globally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Illumination intensity

If peak brightness of local partition is increased, then display effect is improved, but color fading occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepeak brightness of local partitionVSAvoidcolor fading
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs feedback mechanisms where the controller monitors the brightness and color output of each partition, dynamically adjusting the backlight gain parameters to maintain optimal color saturation. When color fading is detected in a partition, the feedback loop reduces the backlight intensity for that specific partition, thereby preventing color fading while maintaining peak brightness where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The invention dynamically changes the backlight gain parameter for each partition based on real-time display requirements. By adjusting this parameter, the system can achieve high peak brightness in specific partitions without causing color fading, as the parameter changes are optimized to maintain color accuracy while enhancing brightness where required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
