Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a display chip is used to process signals, then display functionality is achieved, but power consumption increases and cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and eliminates the display chip from the system by implementing a driving module that directly processes serial input signals and converts them to parallel output signals for the display panel, thereby achieving display functionality without requiring a separate display chip, which reduces both power consumption and cost
2Reliability
If a display chip is used to process signals, then display functionality is achieved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the display chip component entirely and replaces it with an integrated driving module that performs signal processing, serial-parallel conversion, and data output functions, thereby simplifying the overall device architecture and reducing complexity while maintaining display functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple functions including serial signal processing, parallel signal generation, mode indication handling, and data output into a single integrated driving module, eliminating the need for separate display chip and reducing device complexity
