Solution Overview

Problem

Current display technologies cannot effectively convert ultra high definition 2D videos into immersive 3D experiences, particularly for resolutions like 4K×2K, which require advanced 3D display modes such as Active Shutter, Film-type Patterned Retarder (FPR), and naked-eye types.

Innovation Solution

An ultra high definition 3D conversion device that includes a receiving module for processing video signals, an image quality processing module for enhancing image quality, and a 3D signal processing module capable of converting 2D signals into 3D signals for various display types, including Active Shutter, FPR, and naked-eye modes, with an output module to send these signals to corresponding control chips in display screens.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If 2D display technologies are used, then display screens can be manufactured with current technology, but they cannot intuitively represent 3D spatial information and depths of scenes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D display capabilityVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The conversion device is designed to support multiple 3D display types (Active Shutter, FPR, naked-eye) through a single unified system. The device can convert ultra high definition video signals into different 3D signal formats depending on the display type required, eliminating the need for separate conversion devices for each 3D technology and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.

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

2Measurement precision

If ultra high definition resolution (4K×2K) is implemented, then video quality is enhanced, but the physical resolution requirements (3840×2160 pixels) increase the complexity and cost of display systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo qualityVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device processes video signals by changing their parameter characteristics - converting ultra high definition 2D video signals into 3D signals with different parameter sets appropriate for each display type. This parameter transformation enables the system to maintain ultra high definition quality while adapting to different display requirements, managing the complexity through signal processing rather than hardware scaling.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If 3D stereoscopic display technology is implemented, then users can observe immersive 3D images, but the conversion from 2D to 3D signals requires complex processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D display capabilityVSAvoidsignal processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The conversion device is divided into distinct functional modules: a receiving module for capturing video signals, an image quality processing module for enhancing signal quality, and a 3D signal processing module for converting to 3D formats. This segmentation allows each module to specialize in specific tasks, reducing the overall processing complexity by breaking down the conversion process into manageable stages that can be optimized independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
