Solution Overview

Problem

The transition from RGB to RGBW four-color display technology faces challenges in maintaining color saturation and brightness, as the addition of a white signal can lead to color fading due to the dilution effect, requiring an efficient method to convert RGB signals to RGBW without distortion.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method that calculates chromaticity coordinates and adjusts intermediate grayscale values based on the position relationship between the input RGB values and the white basic point in a chromaticity diagram, ensuring the chromaticity coordinate remains unchanged and enhancing brightness and display effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a white sub-pixel is added to form RGBW pixel structure, then brightness and transmittance are improved, but color saturation deteriorates due to dilution effect

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidcolor saturation
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts the white sub-pixel grayscale value based on the chromaticity coordinates of the input RGB signal. By calculating the position relationship between the chromaticity coordinate and white basic point, the system determines an appropriate white component intensity that enhances brightness while maintaining color accuracy. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction by making the white sub-pixel contribution adaptive rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces chromaticity coordinate calculation and position relationship analysis as intermediary steps between RGB input and RGBW output. These intermediate calculations serve as mediators to intelligently control the white sub-pixel activation, ensuring that brightness enhancement does not come at the cost of color saturation loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Illumination intensity

If white component is added to RGB grayscale values, then transmittance is improved, but color accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovetransmittanceVSAvoidcolor accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes the white sub-pixel grayscale parameter based on chromaticity analysis. By monitoring the position relationship between the chromaticity coordinate and white basic point, the system adjusts the white component intensity to maintain color accuracy while improving transmittance. This adaptive parameter control prevents color distortion that would occur with fixed white component addition.

3Use of energy by moving object

If RGB signals are converted to RGBW signals, then power consumption is reduced, but color fidelity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidcolor fidelity
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic parameter adjustment of the white sub-pixel grayscale value based on chromaticity coordinate analysis. This ensures that the white component is activated at optimal intensity levels to reduce power consumption while maintaining color fidelity. The adaptive control prevents color distortion that would result from indiscriminate white sub-pixel activation.
