Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display technologies with under-display cameras require tailored rendering methods for each type of display panel, leading to a large workload and inefficiency due to varying correspondences between subpixels and driving units, especially when through holes are introduced for light transmission.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a fixed and adjustable approach, where pre-designed sampling ranges and repeating modules are stored in databases, allowing for optimal display rendering by retrieving index numbers specific to the display panel's correspondence, eliminating the need for custom-tailored methods for each type.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If tailor-made rendering methods and algorithms are designed for each type of correspondence between subpixels and driving units, then optimal display effects can be achieved, but the workload increases significantly and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal rendering method that can handle multiple correspondence types (1:1, 2:1, 4:1, etc.) through a single algorithm framework. The method uses a general sampling range selection process that adapts to different driving unit to subpixel ratios without requiring separate tailored algorithms for each type, thus achieving optimal display effects across all correspondence types while maintaining high rendering efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the approach from fixed tailor-made algorithms to a parameter-based adaptive system. By introducing sampling ranges as adjustable parameters that can be selected based on the specific correspondence type, the system can efficiently adapt to different rendering requirements without redesigning the core algorithm, thereby resolving the contradiction between precision and productivity
2Manufacturing precision
If custom rendering algorithms are developed for each display panel type, then optimal display effects are achieved, but development time and workload increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining sampling ranges for different correspondence types before actual rendering occurs. The system includes pre-configured sampling range information that can be directly retrieved and applied based on the display panel type, eliminating the need for time-consuming custom algorithm development for each new panel type while maintaining optimal display effects
Solution Approach 2:
The patent develops a universal rendering framework that can accommodate multiple display panel types through a single algorithm structure. By using a general-purpose sampling range selection mechanism that adapts to different correspondence ratios, the system eliminates the need for separate custom algorithms for each panel type, significantly reducing development time while preserving display quality
3Measurement precision
If multiple sampling strategies are implemented for different subpixel positions, then rendering accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display panel into repeating modules, each containing multiple subpixels with different sampling requirements. Within each module, specific sampling ranges are assigned to different subpixel positions (e.g., first sampling range for first subpixels, second sampling range for second subpixels). This segmentation allows accurate rendering of each subpixel type while maintaining overall system manageability through modular organization
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different sampling ranges to different subpixel positions within the same repeating module. Each subpixel or group of subpixels receives the specific sampling strategy appropriate to its location and driving unit correspondence, optimizing rendering accuracy for each local region without requiring the entire system to implement all possible sampling strategies, thus balancing precision with complexity
