Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic ink screens and large-size intelligent display devices struggle to provide a high-simulation handwriting function, particularly in replicating the half-dry stroke effect of calligraphy, which requires selective pixel filling to achieve a withered thread-like appearance.

Innovation Solution

A display device and method that splits a writing stroke into sub-contours, selectively performs pixel filling on a portion of these sub-contours based on writing speed and pressure, and alternates filling manners to simulate the half-dry stroke effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If selective pixel filling is performed on sub-contours to simulate half-dry stroke effect, then handwriting simulation quality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehandwriting simulation qualityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stroke contour is divided into multiple sub-contours based on writing speed and pressure variations. This segmentation allows selective pixel filling on specific sub-contours to simulate the half-dry stroke effect, where different parts of the stroke have different filling states corresponding to the physical state of ink during writing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different pixel filling strategies are applied to different sub-contours based on local writing conditions. Sub-contours corresponding to higher writing speeds or lower pressures receive different filling treatment compared to those with lower speeds or higher pressures, creating local variations that simulate the natural half-dry stroke effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If the stroke contour is divided into multiple sub-contours for selective filling, then handwriting effect simulation is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehandwriting effect simulationVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The stroke contour is divided into multiple sub-contours based on writing speed and pressure variations. This segmentation allows selective pixel filling on specific sub-contours to simulate the half-dry stroke effect, where different parts of the stroke have different filling states corresponding to the physical state of ink during writing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of applying uniform pixel filling to the entire stroke contour, the method applies pixel filling selectively to only those sub-contours that correspond to half-dry stroke conditions. This partial action reduces unnecessary processing while achieving the desired simulation effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
