Spot Compensation Data Generator Using Variable Precision Units
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display panels often exhibit spots that degrade image quality, and existing solutions fail to precisely compensate for these spots while efficiently managing compensation data size.
Innovation Solution
A spot compensating apparatus that generates compensation data using different precision units for areas with and without spots on the display panel, employing a seed data extraction method based on interpolation, to produce accurate and reduced-size compensation data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If uniform precision units are used for spot compensation across the entire display panel, then compensation precision is maintained, but compensation data size increases unnecessarily
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display panel into multiple block areas and applies different precision units (N*N pixel units vs. M*M pixel units) to different regions. Specifically, areas with spots use higher precision (N*N where N is smaller) while areas without spots use lower precision (M*M where M is larger), optimizing the balance between compensation accuracy and data size reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the display panel into multiple block areas based on spot detection results. Each block area is independently processed with appropriate precision units, allowing the system to avoid applying high precision uniformly across the entire panel while maintaining accuracy where needed.
2Measurement precision
If high precision units are applied throughout the display panel, then spot compensation accuracy is maximized, but the complexity of processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies high precision processing only to block areas containing spots while using lower precision for areas without spots. This localized approach reduces overall processing complexity compared to applying high precision uniformly, while maintaining maximum accuracy where spots are present.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically determines the appropriate precision unit for each block area based on spot detection results. The processing complexity is adjusted adaptively according to the actual content of each region, rather than using a fixed high precision approach throughout.
3Quantity of substance
If the display panel is divided into more block areas with different precision units, then data size is reduced, but the complexity of managing multiple precision levels increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the precision parameter (pixel unit size) based on the detected presence of spots in each block area. By using N*N units where N is small for spot-containing areas and M*M units where M is large for spot-free areas, the system reduces data size while managing complexity through clear parameter differentiation.

AI summary
A spot compensating apparatus including a spot compensation data generator configured to generate spot compensation data based on a first precision unit in a first block area having a spot, and based on a second precision unit in a second block area not having the spot, the spot compensation data being for compensating the spot displayed on a display panel configured to display an image based on first image data, the second precision unit having less precision than the first precision unit, and a spot compensator configured to perform a spot compensation on the first image data using the spot compensation data to output second image data.
