1Measurement precision

If gamma voltages are manually adjusted for different driving frequencies, then grayscale representation can be optimized, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual model (AI model) that copies and generalizes the gamma voltage patterns from multiple sample display devices. This virtual model can generate appropriate gamma voltages for target display devices without requiring manual measurement and adjustment for each device, thus reducing complexity while maintaining grayscale accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the approach from direct manual parameter adjustment to using an AI model that learns parameter relationships from training data. The model takes input parameters (such as display device characteristics) and automatically outputs the appropriate gamma voltage parameters, transforming a complex manual process into an automated parameter transformation task.

If gamma voltages are optimized for each display device, then image quality improves, but the time and resources required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by training the AI model on a diverse set of sample display devices before deployment. This pre-training process captures the essential relationships between display characteristics and optimal gamma voltages, enabling rapid generation of appropriate gamma voltages for new display devices without requiring time-consuming manual optimization for each device.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The AI model enables display devices to self-determine their optimal gamma voltages based on their own characteristics and the learned patterns from training data. This self-service capability eliminates the need for external manual optimization processes, significantly reducing the time and resources required while maintaining image quality.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamics by replacing static, pre-stored gamma lookup tables with a dynamic AI model that can adaptively generate appropriate gamma voltages based on the current driving frequency and display device characteristics. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain power efficiency across multiple frequencies without requiring separate lookup tables for each frequency, thereby reducing memory requirements and system complexity.

AI summary

A display device includes a display panel including a sub-pixel, a data driver configured to generate a data voltage based on a gamma voltage and provide the data voltage to the sub-pixel, and a gamma voltage generator configured to receive a first gamma lookup table and a second gamma lookup table and generate the gamma voltage based on at least one of the first gamma lookup table and the second gamma lookup table, and provide the gamma voltage to the data driver. The display device trains an artificial intelligence model to generate the second gamma lookup table comprising gamma voltages for a target driving frequency using the first gamma lookup table including gamma voltages for a sample display device driven at different respective sample driving frequencies.
