Solution Overview

Problem

Liquid crystal display panels often experience issues with blank screens or abnormal images due to insufficient loading capacity of external voltage sources when displaying high power consumption images, as existing technologies struggle to provide adequate power supply for integrated touch and display functions.

Innovation Solution

A display panel driving method that determines whether an image is high or low power consumption based on predefined data parameters, amplifying the reference voltage for high power consumption images and maintaining the original voltage for low power consumption images to ensure proper power supply to the touch control and display integrated circuits and gate driving circuits.

1Power

If the external voltage source provides a fixed reference voltage for the touch control and display integrated circuit, then the device structure remains simple, but the loading capacity is insufficient when displaying high power consumption images

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The reference voltage is made dynamic rather than fixed. The voltage processing circuit adjusts the reference voltage based on the power consumption characteristics of the image being displayed, switching between first reference voltage (for high power consumption images) and second reference voltage (for low power consumption images), thereby improving loading capacity while maintaining structural simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The reference voltage parameter is changed according to different display conditions. By detecting image power consumption characteristics and adjusting the reference voltage parameter accordingly, the system can provide adequate power for high power consumption images while maintaining energy efficiency for low power consumption images

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 1:

The voltage processing circuit is designed to perform multiple functions: it can provide different reference voltages for different power consumption scenarios, and it can also process the data signal to determine power consumption characteristics. This multi-functionality improves display stability without requiring separate dedicated circuits for each function

Inventive Principle:
