Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If current brightness and chromaticity detection methods are used, then the measurement process is simple, but the measurement accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness and chromaticity detection accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the measurement process into multiple exposure duration groups (first, second, third groups) with different exposure times. Each group captures images under specific brightness conditions, allowing accurate measurement across different luminance ranges. This segmentation enables the system to handle both bright and dark display areas with appropriate exposure settings, resolving the accuracy issue while maintaining manageable process complexity through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the exposure duration parameter across different image groups to optimize measurement accuracy for different brightness levels. By using short exposure for bright areas, medium exposure for intermediate areas, and long exposure for dark areas, the system adapts the measurement parameters to match the display content characteristics. This parameter variation enables accurate chromaticity and brightness detection without requiring complex hardware modifications.

2Measurement precision

If multiple exposure durations are used to improve measurement accuracy, then the measurement precision improves, but the measurement time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay parameter measurement accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selectively using only the necessary exposure duration groups based on the actual display content characteristics. The system determines which exposure group (first, second, or third) is most appropriate for the current measurement scenario and may use only that group or combine fewer groups than the maximum three. This approach achieves sufficient measurement accuracy without always requiring all three exposure durations, thereby reducing measurement time while maintaining precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
