Display Baseplate Gate Driving Layout for OLED Row Luminance Uniformity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
OLED displays exhibit fine horizontal-stripe defects due to differences in luminance between odd and even rows, caused by variations in the charging times of pixel driving circuits.
Innovation Solution
The display baseplate employs a 1 driving 1 architecture for the first gate driving circuit and a 1 driving 2 architecture for the second gate driving circuit, with distinct pixel driving circuits in odd and even rows, utilizing different capacitance values and channel width-to-length ratios for transistors to balance charging times and luminance, and non-overlapping control signal durations to reduce luminance differences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a uniform gate driving circuit architecture is used for all rows, then the device complexity is reduced, but luminance uniformity deteriorates due to fine horizontal-stripe defects
Solution Approach 1:
The gate driving circuit is segmented into two independent architectures: a 1-driving-1 architecture for odd rows and a 1-driving-2 architecture for even rows. This segmentation allows each row type to have optimized charging paths, eliminating the fine horizontal-stripe defects caused by uniform architecture while managing overall system complexity through modular design.
2Illumination intensity
If different capacitance values are used for odd and even row pixel circuits, then luminance uniformity is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Different capacitance values are assigned to pixel driving circuits based on their row position: odd rows use one capacitance value while even rows use another. This local quality differentiation compensates for the inherent charging time differences between row types, achieving luminance uniformity across the display while maintaining manufacturability through standardized component libraries.
3Duration of action of moving object
If different channel width-to-length ratios are used for transistors in odd and even rows, then charging time balance is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The channel width-to-length ratio of transistors is adjusted as a key parameter to balance charging times between odd and even rows. By optimizing this geometric parameter, the patent achieves synchronized charging completion across different row architectures without requiring fundamental circuit redesign, thus managing device complexity while improving timing uniformity.
4Illumination intensity
If non-overlapping control signal durations are implemented, then luminance difference is reduced, but control signal complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Control signals are designed with periodic, non-overlapping duration patterns for odd and even rows. This periodic timing scheme ensures that charging operations in different rows are synchronized without interference, reducing luminance differences while maintaining manageable signal complexity through repetitive, predictable timing sequences.
