Split Lamp Image Blending for Distortion-Free Center Output
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing lamp systems for moving objects, such as vehicles, often experience image distortion or failure to output images when both lamps are used to display a single image, due to overlapping or empty center portions.
Innovation Solution
A lamp system with a control unit that allocates and adjusts the first and second images output by the left and right lamps, respectively, by changing the transparency and brightness of overlapping areas to ensure seamless and undistorted image output.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If both left and right lamps output one image together, then the lighting function is enhanced and image transmission capability is improved, but image distortion occurs in the center portion due to overlapping or empty areas
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single image into two separate image portions, allocating the left portion to the left lamp and the right portion to the right lamp. This segmentation prevents overlapping and empty center portions, ensuring that each lamp outputs its designated image portion without distortion while maintaining the overall image transmission capability.
2Manufacturing precision
If the lamps divide the image and output separately, then image distortion is reduced, but the center portions may become empty or overlap due to image processing errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the transparency of the overlapping area gradually change from one image portion to the other. Specifically, the transparency of the first image portion is gradually lowered toward the second image, and vice versa, creating a seamless transition in the center portion that eliminates empty or overlapping areas while maintaining image completeness.
3Manufacturing precision
If transparency adjustment is applied to overlapping areas, then image distortion is prevented, but the complexity of image processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the transparency parameter of the overlapping areas to resolve image distortion. By adjusting the transparency of each image portion in the overlapping region, the system achieves seamless image output without requiring complex structural modifications, thus managing processing complexity through parameter optimization.

AI summary
A lamp system capable of improving ease of use by outputting an image without distortion when one image is divided and output from the left and right lamps, respectively. The lamp system includes a left lamp installed on a left side of a moving object in one direction to output an allocated first image, a right lamp installed on a right side of the moving object in one direction to output an allocated second image, and a control unit receiving original image information from the outside to allocate the first image and the second image to the left lamp and the right lamp, respectively, based on the original image but change and allocate an overlapping area that is an overlapping portion of the first image and the second image.
