Solution Overview

Problem

The lack of a standard and uniform test method for transparent display devices hinders the evaluation of their performance, leading to varied performance parameters across different manufacturers and impedes optimized design and development in the field of transparent display technology.

Innovation Solution

A test apparatus and method involving an optical measuring device and a reference object to measure and adjust the brightness of transparent display devices, determining an optimal brightness range for achieving a preset display effect, which includes measuring contrast, transmittance, and color gamut.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a transparent display device is designed to maintain high transparency, then the transmittance is improved, but the display brightness and contrast deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovetransmittanceVSAvoiddisplay brightness
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamic brightness adjustment by controlling the backlight unit to adapt to different viewing conditions. The system dynamically regulates the brightness of the backlight source to maintain optimal display contrast while preserving transparency, resolving the contradiction between fixed transparency and variable display performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the brightness parameter of the backlight unit dynamically. By adjusting the backlight intensity as a variable parameter rather than a fixed value, the system can optimize both transparency and display brightness/contrast according to different operating conditions, thus resolving the technical contradiction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If different manufacturers use varying test conditions, then device adaptability is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice compatibilityVSAvoidperformance evaluation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal test method that can evaluate multiple types of transparent display devices (LCD and OLED) using the same standardized procedure. The test system incorporates multiple measurement functions including transmittance, contrast ratio, and brightness measurements, enabling consistent evaluation across different device types and manufacturers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent systematically varies test parameters such as viewing angles (0°, 45°, 85°), measurement distances, and brightness levels to establish comprehensive evaluation criteria. By defining specific parameter ranges and measurement conditions, the method achieves both broad device compatibility and precise performance measurement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
