Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional RGB stripe displays face difficulties in adjusting to achieve white balance due to fixed color dot areas and colors, limiting their ability to form black and white lines effectively.

Innovation Solution

The image device incorporates pixel groups arranged in a 2×2 matrix form, with specific color dots and their arrangements allowing for adjustable color and area modifications to achieve white balance, enabling the formation of black and white lines in rows or columns.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the area and colors of color dots are fixed in conventional RGB stripe displays, then the manufacturing process is simple, but white balance adjustment becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidwhite balance adjustment capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces controllable elements (such as liquid crystals or electrochromic materials) within the color dots, transforming them from static fixed-color structures to dynamic adjustable structures. This allows the color and area of color dots to be modified after manufacturing, enabling white balance adjustment while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables changes in physical parameters (color, area, intensity) of the color dots through external control mechanisms. By allowing these parameters to be adjusted dynamically, the system achieves white balance adaptability without complicating the base manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Illumination intensity

If the area of color dots is increased to improve visibility, then the display brightness is enhanced, but the ability to form fine black and white lines deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay brightnessVSAvoidline formation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamically controllable color dots that can adjust their effective area and intensity. This allows large color dots to be used for brightness while the ability to reduce or modulate their effective area enables precise line formation, resolving the contradiction between brightness and precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent allows color dots to operate at full intensity for brightness requirements while enabling partial activation or selective dimming for fine line work. This partial action capability allows the system to achieve both high brightness and fine precision depending on the display needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
