Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the compensation function into two separate modules: a first compensation module that generates compensation voltage based on common electrode voltage variations, and a second compensation module that superposes this compensation voltage onto gamma voltage. This segmentation allows the compensation function to be distributed across multiple components, reducing the temperature burden on any single component while maintaining effective compensation for image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces gamma voltage as an intermediary carrier. Instead of directly applying compensation voltage to the common electrode (which would generate excessive heat), the compensation voltage is superposed onto gamma voltage, which then serves as the intermediate signal that is subsequently processed by the source driver to generate the final data signal. This intermediary approach enables indirect compensation that avoids excessive temperature rise.

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses gamma voltage as an intermediary to transfer the compensation function. The first compensation module generates compensation voltage based on common electrode voltage variations, but instead of applying it directly to the common electrode, it is superposed onto gamma voltage by the second compensation module. This intermediary approach maintains voltage stability while avoiding excessive temperature increase that would result from direct application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The compensation voltage is generated in advance by the first compensation module based on detected variations in common electrode voltage. This preliminary generation of compensation voltage allows the system to prepare the corrective signal before it is needed, and then superpose it onto the gamma voltage in a controlled manner, rather than directly injecting power into the common electrode which would cause overheating.

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a compensation circuit, a drive circuit, operating methods of the compensation circuit and the drive circuit, and a display device comprising the drive circuit. The compensation circuit comprises a first compensation module and a second compensation module. The first compensation module generates compensation voltage according to the variation of common electrode voltage, and the second compensation module superposes the compensation voltage inputted by the second input terminal on gamma voltage inputted by the first input terminal, and outputs the superposed gamma voltage. The technical solution above transfers a compensation position from the common electrode voltage to the gamma voltage, and effectively compensates for and inhibits the fluctuation of the common electrode voltage by the compensation voltage superposed on the gamma voltage, thereby avoiding over high temperature of display panels, green tint of displayed images and crosstalk noise.
