Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display panels suffer from non-uniform brightness due to varying driving capabilities across different regions, leading to a worse display effect as the panel size increases, with regions farther from the power interface experiencing lower voltage and brightness.

Innovation Solution

A display driving device with a power supply module that outputs regulated voltages to specific display regions based on distance from the power interface, using voltage conversion and regulation units to ensure uniform brightness by adjusting the terminal voltages of light-emitting transistors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If the display panel size is increased, then the display area is enlarged, but the brightness uniformity deteriorates due to greater voltage differences between regions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidbrightness uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel is divided into multiple display regions based on distance from the power interface. Each region is assigned a specific regulated voltage level, creating segmented voltage zones that compensate for distance-related voltage drops and maintain brightness uniformity across the entire large display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different display regions receive different regulated voltages according to their distance from the power interface. Regions farther from the power interface receive higher regulated voltages to compensate for voltage drops, while regions closer to the power interface receive lower regulated voltages, creating locally optimized voltage distribution for uniform brightness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If a single power interface is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the voltage distribution uniformity deteriorates across the display panel

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower interface quantityVSAvoidvoltage distribution uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the voltage parameter dynamically based on spatial position. A single power interface provides the input voltage, but voltage regulation units adjust the output voltage level according to the distance from the power interface, transforming a single-voltage system into a multi-voltage system to achieve uniform distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

Voltage regulation units are introduced as intermediary components between the single power interface and the display regions. These regulators act as mediators that adjust voltage levels for different regions, enabling uniform voltage distribution while maintaining a simple single-power-interface architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Illumination intensity

If regulated voltage is applied to distant regions, then the brightness uniformity is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional voltage conversion units

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The voltage regulation function is segmented and distributed to specific regions that need it. Only display regions at distances greater than a preset threshold from the power interface are equipped with voltage regulation units, avoiding unnecessary complexity in regions where regulation is not needed while maintaining brightness uniformity where required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
