Central Scan Driver for Large Display Luminance Deviation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large display panels face issues with luminance deviation and degraded display quality due to scan signal delay, particularly in existing display devices.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a central scan driver with a small output buffer, positioned in the central area of the display panel, alongside left and right scan drivers, to synchronize and minimize scan signal delay, thereby addressing luminance deviation and display quality issues.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a large display panel is implemented, then the display size is increased, but scan signal delay occurs causing luminance deviation and degraded display quality
Solution Approach 1:
The scan driver is divided into multiple independent scan drivers (first scan driver, second scan driver, third scan driver) positioned at different locations of the display panel. Each scan driver independently supplies scan signals to a specific region, eliminating the need for long signal transmission paths and preventing scan signal delay that would cause luminance deviation in large display panels.
2Loss of time
If the central scan driver is arranged in the central area, then scan signal delay is reduced, but subpixel size must be reduced in central areas
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the display panel are assigned different scan driver configurations. The central area has a third scan driver with correspondingly sized subpixels, while edge areas have first and second scan drivers with larger subpixels. This local adaptation allows each region to have optimized subpixel sizes suitable for its specific scan driver arrangement, preventing scan signal delay in the central area while maintaining acceptable subpixel sizes at the edges.
3Device complexity
If the central scan driver has a small output buffer, then device complexity is reduced, but output signal strength may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
Different scan drivers are configured with different output buffer sizes according to their specific requirements. The central scan driver (third scan driver) is equipped with a small output buffer that is sufficient for its central positioning and shorter signal paths, while edge scan drivers (first and second scan drivers) have larger output buffers to compensate for their positioning at panel edges with longer signal paths. This localized optimization reduces overall device complexity while maintaining adequate output signal strength for each region.

AI summary
A display device includes a display panel, a left scan driver, a right scan driver, and a central scan driver. The display panel has a display area in which an image is displayed, and a non-display area in which an image is not displayed. The left scan driver and the right scan driver are respectively arranged in left and right non-display areas of the display panel. The central scan driver is arranged in a central area of the display panel. Subpixels adjacent to the central area of the display panel are small in size compared to subpixels arranged in other areas of the display panel.
