Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing terminal devices face issues with inaccurate ambient light detection due to changes in screen light transmittance caused by aging, affecting display brightness adjustment.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a first light sensor at the back side of the screen to detect ambient light, a light source at the front side of the screen edge to emit light, and a second light sensor at the back side to detect the light source brightness, allowing for real-time correction of light transmittance and accurate ambient light detection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the light sensor is disposed below the screen to detect ambient light, then the terminal device can adjust display brightness according to ambient light intensity, but the light transmittance of the screen changes with aging causing inaccurate ambient brightness information
Solution Approach 1:
A light guide structure is introduced as an intermediary component between the light source and the light sensor. This light guide transmits light from the light source through the screen to the light sensor, enabling indirect measurement of screen light transmittance. By using this intermediary, the system can detect changes in screen aging without requiring direct access to the screen's optical properties, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining detection accuracy and accounting for aging effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the light sensor continuously monitors the light transmittance of the screen by detecting light from the light source. Based on this feedback, the processor calculates the actual light transmittance and compensates for aging effects in real-time. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that ambient light detection remains accurate despite screen aging, resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and reliability over time.
2Measurement precision
If a light transmittance calibration step is performed during production, then accurate ambient light detection can be achieved, but production costs and process complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-calibration by automatically detecting screen light transmittance using the light source and light sensor during production. The processor automatically calculates calibration parameters based on detected light intensities without requiring manual intervention or external calibration equipment. This self-service approach achieves accurate ambient light detection while simplifying the manufacturing process, resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and ease of manufacture.
