Solution Overview

Problem

Curved AMOLED display panels experience color cast phenomena due to varying curvatures, leading to inconsistent display quality when using a single gamma voltage across all regions, which affects image rendering and viewer experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that adjust gamma voltage by dividing the curved display panel into sub-regions based on bending degree, determining inclined angles, and assigning specific gamma voltages to each sub-region to maintain white balance and prevent color cast, using a first gamma voltage for the planar region and multiple second gamma voltages for sub-regions.

Solution Approach 1:

The curved display panel is divided into multiple sub-regions based on bending degree, with each sub-region assigned a specific gamma voltage. This segmentation allows different parts of the curved display to have optimized gamma voltages tailored to their local curvature characteristics, eliminating color cast phenomena while maintaining manageable device complexity through systematic regional control.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

Different gamma voltages are applied to different sub-regions of the curved display panel according to their specific bending degrees. This local quality approach ensures that each region receives the appropriate gamma voltage for its curvature characteristics, achieving consistent display quality across the entire curved surface without requiring complex global control systems.

Solution Approach 1:

The curved display region is pre-divided into sub-regions with predetermined boundaries based on bending degree characteristics before operation. Gamma voltages are assigned to each sub-region in advance according to their curvature profiles, allowing the system to maintain white balance consistency without requiring complex real-time control decisions during display operation.

Solution Approach 2:

Gamma voltages are adjusted as a function of bending degree parameters for different sub-regions. By establishing a relationship between bending degree and optimal gamma voltage, the system can maintain white balance consistency through parameter-based control rather than complex multi-variable control algorithms, reducing overall device complexity.
