Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single drive circuit controls the entire display screen, then the device complexity is low, but it cannot meet diverse display requirements across different regions
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple independent display partitions (first display partition, second display partition, etc.), each controlled by its own drive circuit (first drive circuit, second drive circuit, etc.). This segmentation allows each partition to have different refresh frequencies independently controlled, meeting diverse display requirements while maintaining manageable circuit complexity through modular design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different display partitions use different refresh frequencies, then diverse display needs are met, but power consumption control becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts refresh frequencies for different display partitions based on actual display needs. The drive circuits can set different refresh frequencies (e.g., first refresh frequency for first partition, second refresh frequency for second partition), allowing the display to adapt its power consumption to the actual content being displayed, reducing energy waste on static or low-change regions.
3Use of energy by stationary object
If all display partitions use the same refresh frequency, then power consumption is easier to control, but diverse display requirements cannot be satisfied
Solution Approach 1:
Different display partitions are assigned different refresh frequencies according to their specific display requirements. For example, the first display partition may use a higher refresh frequency for content requiring smooth motion, while the second display partition uses a lower refresh frequency for static or less time-sensitive content, optimizing power consumption locally while maintaining overall display quality.
4Productivity
If multiple drive circuits are used for different display partitions, then display performance is optimized, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into multiple independent partitions, each with its own drive circuit. This modular segmentation allows parallel operation of multiple drive circuits, improving overall display refresh efficiency and productivity, while the modular structure keeps individual circuit complexity manageable and facilitates independent optimization of each partition.
