Solution Overview

Problem

Spliced displays experience issues with blurring and dislocation of images at the edges due to differences in display screens, affecting the overall image quality.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for driving spliced displays that involves segmenting an initial video image into multiple images matched to the sizes of individual sub-display screens and moving these images by preset bit pixels to ensure proper alignment and display on filling screens, eliminating the need for post-display splicing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If different display screens are used in a spliced display, then the display area and functionality are expanded, but blurring and dislocation occur at the edges and connected parts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidimage accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display system into multiple independent sub-display screens (first sub-display screen, second sub-display screen, etc.) each capable of displaying independent images. This segmentation allows each screen to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system functionality, resolving the contradiction between expanded display area and maintained image accuracy at edges

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces filling screens as intermediary components positioned between adjacent sub-display screens. These filling screens act as mediators that receive images from neighboring sub-display screens and display them, thereby eliminating the blurring and dislocation problems at the connected edges while maintaining the expanded display area

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If images are spliced after being displayed on sub-display screens, then the spliced display can show different pictures on different screens, but the edge parts become blurred and dislocated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepicture differentiationVSAvoidimage accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs image segmentation before display by dividing the initial video image into multiple segmented images that correspond to different sub-display screens. This preliminary action ensures that each sub-display screen receives the correct image portion, and the filling screens receive the appropriate images from neighboring screens, thereby maintaining image accuracy while enabling picture differentiation across screens

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The filling screens serve as intermediaries that receive images from adjacent sub-display screens and display them, eliminating the need for post-display splicing. This intermediary approach maintains image accuracy at the edges while still allowing different pictures to be displayed on different screens through proper image segmentation and distribution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method and apparatus for driving a tiled display, a server, and a storage medium are provided. The spliced display comprises a first sub-display screen and a second sub-display screen, wherein a filling screen is arranged between the first sub-display screen and the second sub-display screen. By the method, the pictures on the sub-display screens are displayed on the filling screen, and images do not need to be spliced after being displayed on the filling screen and the sub-display screens, so as to improve the accuracy of the images at the filling screen and avoid image dislocation.
