Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If the power source directly supplies electricity to the AMOLED panel without power consumption stabilization, then the display can operate with high luminance and large current, but the power consumption fluctuates substantially leading to reduced power source lifespan and deteriorated EMI characteristics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumption stabilityVSAvoidpower source lifespan
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a power consumption stabilization circuit as an intermediary component between the power source and the AMOLED panel. This circuit includes a detecting module that monitors power consumption and a controlling module that adjusts power supply accordingly, thereby mediating the direct connection and preventing substantial power fluctuations from reaching the power source, thus extending its lifespan and improving EMI characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the detecting module continuously monitors the power consumption of the AMOLED panel and feeds this information to the controlling module. The controlling module then adjusts the power supply voltage or current based on the detected power consumption level, creating a closed-loop control system that stabilizes power consumption and prevents excessive fluctuations that would otherwise reduce power source lifespan

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Illumination intensity

If the power source directly supplies electricity to the AMOLED panel, then the display can achieve high luminance output, but the sharp power consumption changes deteriorate the EMI characteristics of the product

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveluminanceVSAvoidEMI characteristics
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The power consumption stabilization circuit serves as an intermediary that decouples the direct connection between the power source and AMOLED panel. The detecting module monitors power consumption levels and the controlling module adjusts power supply to smooth out sharp transitions, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference generated by abrupt power changes while maintaining the panel's ability to achieve high luminance when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Power

If the detecting module continuously monitors power consumption and adjusts power supply dynamically, then power consumption stability is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional controlling components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumption stabilityVSAvoidpower supply circuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The controlling module is designed to perform multiple functions: it detects power consumption levels, determines whether power consumption exceeds thresholds, and adjusts power supply accordingly. By consolidating these functions into a single multi-functional module rather than separate dedicated components for each function, the patent reduces overall circuit complexity while maintaining power consumption stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A power supply circuit and display apparatus, comprising power source (1), charging/discharging module (2), detecting module (3), the detecting module detects detecting parameter on power-supply path, feeds back corresponding mode signal to the power source according to the detected detecting parameter, and outputs preset operation voltage to load (4); the power source receives the mode signal fed back from the detecting module, outputs power supply voltage corresponding to the mode signal, and charges the charging/discharging module when the mode signal is the low power signal; and the charging/discharging module is discharged to the detecting module when the power source outputs the supply voltage corresponding to the high power signal, and is charged when the power source outputs the supply voltage corresponding to the low power signal. The circuit can avoid effectively that the consumption of the power source fluctuates significantly with the power consumption changing of the load thereby the power source operates stably.
