Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices with high-resolution display panels experience lateral screen-splitting deficiencies due to variations in output voltages from different gate drive circuit units, which cannot be adequately addressed by existing power source circuits that only provide a single gamma main voltage.

Innovation Solution

A display adjusting device with a start signal detection unit and a gamma main voltage setting unit that detects gate drive signals from each stage of gate drive circuit units and sets corresponding gamma main voltages to overcome the lateral screen-splitting issue by providing tailored gamma main voltages to different regions.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single gamma main voltage AVDD is outputted by the power source circuit, then the device complexity is reduced, but the lateral screen-splitting deficiency caused by different gate drive circuit units cannot be overcome

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The power source circuit is segmented to output multiple gamma main voltages (first gamma main voltage AVDD1 and second gamma main voltage AVDD2) corresponding to different gate drive circuit units. This segmentation allows each region to receive its dedicated voltage, eliminating lateral screen-splitting while maintaining manageable circuit complexity through modular voltage generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the display panel are provided with different gamma main voltages tailored to their specific gate drive circuit units. The first gamma main voltage AVDD1 is supplied to regions scanned by first gate drive circuit units, while the second gamma main voltage AVDD2 is supplied to regions scanned by second gate drive circuit units, ensuring local optimization of display quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple gamma main voltages AVDDs are provided to different regions, then the lateral screen-splitting deficiency is overcome, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelateral screen-uniformityVSAvoidpower source circuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The power source circuit dynamically selects and outputs appropriate gamma main voltages based on the scanning stage detected by the detection circuit. During first stage scanning, AVDD1 is outputted; during second stage scanning, AVDD2 is outputted. This dynamic adaptation enables multiple voltages for different regions while maintaining a relatively simple circuit structure through time-multiplexed voltage supply

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Manufacturing precision

If gamma main voltage is dynamically adjusted, then the lateral screen-splitting is alleviated, but the ease of operation is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The power source circuit performs self-adjustment by automatically detecting the scanning stage through the detection circuit and autonomously selecting the appropriate gamma main voltage. The first gamma main voltage AVDD1 is automatically supplied during first stage scanning, and the second gamma main voltage AVDD2 is automatically supplied during second stage scanning, eliminating the need for manual voltage adjustment operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
