Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies face challenges in efficiently controlling light emitting diodes (LEDs) due to limitations in driver circuits, which affect the accuracy and frequency of data signal transmission.

Innovation Solution

A driver circuit with a logic control component and multiple pins, including a clock pin, data pin, and output pins, is designed to receive clock and data signals. The logic control component generates driving control signals based on the data signal, allowing for precise control of electrical signals flowing through the output pins.

1Productivity

If traditional driver circuits are used to control LEDs, then the structure is simple, but the data signal transmission frequency and accuracy are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata signal transmission frequencyVSAvoiddriver circuit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The driver circuit is segmented into distinct functional modules: a logic control component with multiple independent pin groups (first pin group for clock/Data IN, second pin group for output, third pin group for address/control). Each pin group handles specific signal types, allowing parallel processing of multiple data signals simultaneously, thereby increasing transmission frequency while maintaining modular simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The logic control component serves multiple functions: it receives clock signals and data signals from the first pin group, generates driving control signals for the second pin group, and handles address signals through the third pin group. This multi-functional integration increases data transmission capacity without proportionally increasing overall circuit complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Measurement precision

If traditional driver circuits are used, then the manufacturing cost is lower, but the working frequency and accuracy are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Each pin group is designed with specialized characteristics optimized for its specific function: the first pin group is optimized for high-frequency clock and data signal reception, the second pin group for precise output control, and the third pin group for address signal handling. This localized optimization improves overall transmission accuracy without requiring complete redesign of the entire circuit

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The logic control component performs preliminary processing of incoming data signals before output, including decoding address information to determine which output pins should be activated and preprocessing data signals to generate appropriate driving control signals. This preliminary action ensures accurate signal transmission while using standard manufacturing processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A driver circuit includes a logic control component and a plurality of pins coupled to the logic control component. The plurality of pins include a clock pin, a data pin and at least two output pins. The clock pin is configured to receive a clock signal. The data pin is configured to receive, under control of the logic control component, a data signal in a period of an active level of the clock signal. The logic control component is configured to generate a driving control signal corresponding to each output pin according to the data signal, so as to control an electrical signal flowing through the output pin.
