Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the OLED luminescent material operates at maximum brightness to display bright-state images, then the display brightness is improved, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustment of driving voltage based on real-time detection of actual current consumption. The controller continuously monitors the proportion of color channels in displayed images and adjusts the driving voltage dynamically to match the actual power needs, transitioning from static maximum brightness operation to adaptive brightness control that optimizes the balance between display brightness and power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a feedback mechanism where the actual current value is detected and compared with the theoretical current value. Based on this comparison, the controller adjusts the driving voltage to correct deviations. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that the display operates at optimal brightness levels while minimizing unnecessary power consumption, directly addressing the contradiction between brightness and power usage.
2Reliability
If the driving voltage is increased to maintain display brightness, then the display performance is improved, but the wear of OLEDs increases due to over brightness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary anti-action by detecting the proportion of color channels in advance and calculating the theoretical current value before actual display operation. This allows the system to pre-adjust the driving voltage to appropriate levels, preventing over-brightness conditions that would accelerate OLED degradation. By anticipating and counteracting potential damage before it occurs, the system protects OLED lifespan while maintaining display performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the driving voltage parameter dynamically based on the detected color channel proportions and calculated theoretical current values. Instead of maintaining a fixed high voltage that causes wear, the system adjusts the voltage parameter to match actual display needs, thereby reducing stress on OLED materials and extending their operational lifespan while preserving display quality.
3Illumination intensity
If the AMOLED display device uses higher current to display bright images, then the brightness is improved, but the energy conservation advantage is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by adjusting the driving voltage to provide only the necessary current for the actual display content rather than continuously supplying maximum current. By detecting the proportion of color channels and calculating appropriate theoretical current values, the system applies just enough power to achieve the required brightness levels, avoiding excessive energy consumption while maintaining adequate display brightness.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an driving method of an active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display panel, including: calculating a first proportion group and a second proportion group corresponding to each of color channels in display images of the AMOLED display panel at the first moment and the second moment, determining whether the first proportion group and the second proportion group are the same, calculating a theoretical current value corresponding to a target color channel to maintain a predetermined display brightness, obtaining an actual current value transmitted by the current detector, comparing the actual current value with the theoretical current value by the comparator, obtaining a target driving voltage value corresponding to a target proportion in the second proportion group when the actual current value is greater than the theoretical current value, adjusting a driving voltage provided by the PMIC power supply to the target drive voltage.
