Solution Overview

Problem

Active-matrix organic light-emitting diodes (AMOLEDs) experience motion blur when operated at high speeds, which is not effectively addressed by existing technologies.

Innovation Solution

A control method for a light-emitting diode apparatus that involves applying a pre-reset voltage to the control terminal of a driving transistor, followed by a reset voltage and compensation, to increase the voltage difference between the control and first terminals, thereby reducing motion blur. This method includes specific stages such as pre-resetting, resetting, and compensation, utilizing switches and a charge storage device to manage voltage levels and control signals.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies a pre-reset voltage to the control terminal before the main reset operation. This preliminary action prepares the transistor by increasing the voltage difference between the control terminal and first terminal, ensuring the transistor is properly reset even at high operating speeds, thereby preventing motion blur while maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The pre-reset voltage creates a preliminary counter-action by increasing the voltage difference in opposition to the potential charge accumulation that causes motion blur. This preemptive measure counteracts the harmful effect before it can manifest, allowing high-speed operation without motion blur

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action
