Solution Overview

Problem

Current AMOLED display panels face the Mura phenomenon due to threshold voltage deviations, leading to non-uniform brightness, which complicates the design, increases costs, and reduces transmission efficiency and accuracy of compensation data.

Innovation Solution

A method for acquiring and transmitting compensation data by encoding the screen body module and compensation data to establish a one-to-one identifier relationship, allowing for efficient storage and transmission without the need for Flash memory, using a data driving circuit and NAND-Flash memory, and processing image information through a Mura compensation algorithm.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If compensation data is stored in Flash memory to compensate Mura phenomenon, then manufacturing precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveMura phenomenon compensationVSAvoiddesign complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the compensation data storage function from the display panel's Flash memory and relocates it to the terminal device's memory. Only essential identifier information remains in the display panel, while comprehensive compensation data is stored externally in the terminal device, reducing panel complexity while maintaining compensation capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent shifts the storage dimension from the display panel itself to the terminal device that operates the panel. Compensation data is transmitted from the terminal device to the panel via communication interfaces, changing the spatial and functional dimension of data storage and access.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Productivity

If compensation data is transmitted through existing paths, then device complexity is maintained, but transmission efficiency and accuracy deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission path complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the compensation data into two parts: identifier information stored in the display panel and comprehensive compensation data stored in the terminal device. This segmentation allows efficient transmission of only necessary identifier data within the panel while enabling access to full compensation data externally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces the terminal device as an intermediary that stores and manages comprehensive compensation data. The terminal device receives identifier information from the display panel, retrieves corresponding compensation data from its own memory, and applies it, thereby improving transmission efficiency and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If Flash memory is added to display panel for compensation data storage, then manufacturing precision is improved, but loss of substance increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation data accuracyVSAvoidmaterial cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes the terminal device serve multiple functions: it acts as both the operating device for the display panel and the storage device for compensation data. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for dedicated Flash memory in the panel, reducing material costs while maintaining compensation accuracy.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a simplified copy in the display panel containing only identifier information, while the full compensation data is maintained in the terminal device. This copying approach reduces the material requirements in the panel while preserving complete compensation capability in the terminal device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
