Solution Approach 1:

The delay circuit is configured to output the operating voltage to the operational amplifier circuit before outputting the common voltage to the display panel. This preliminary action ensures the operational amplifier is ready to receive and process the common voltage signal, preventing instantaneous voltage loss and abnormal display images during mode switching between common voltage compensation and polarity inversion methods

Solution Approach 2:

The delay circuit acts as an intermediary between the power management circuit and the operational amplifier circuit. It controls the timing and sequence of voltage output, delaying the operating voltage to the operational amplifier until the common voltage is stable, thereby mediating the transition and preventing harmful voltage fluctuations during method switching

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A compensation circuit and a display device. The compensation circuit includes a timing controller, a power management circuit, an operational amplifier circuit, and a delay circuit. The delay circuit is configured to prolong a time duration of the operational amplifier circuit in the operating state in a first stage, and the delay circuit controls the operational amplifier circuit to stop operation when the delay circuit is able to stably output a common voltage to the display panel. A time duration of outputting the common voltage to the display panel is prolonged in a second stage. When the operational amplifier circuit is in the operation state, the delay circuit stops outputting the common voltage to the display panel.
