Solution Overview

Problem

Display panels experience brightness reversal and undesirable phenomena such as crosstalk and residual shadow due to large precision steps in adjusting dimming values, affecting display quality.

Innovation Solution

Setting the same voltage gamma max power and voltage gamma small power for multiple dimming values, calculating and writing a gamma register value for 0 gray scale to maintain consistent display performance, reducing the occurrence of brightness reversal and other issues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If different voltage gamma max powers are set for different dimming values to reduce crosstalk and residual shadow, then display quality is improved, but brightness reversal occurs due to large precision steps in voltage adjustment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidbrightness consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of voltage gamma max power from being dynamically adjusted per dimming value to being fixed across multiple dimming values. This parameter change eliminates the brightness reversal issue caused by large precision steps while maintaining display quality through alternative compensation methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the dimming values into groups, where each group shares the same voltage gamma max power setting. This segmentation allows the system to avoid problematic voltage transitions while still providing dimming control across the full range

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If voltage gamma max power is adjusted with high precision to avoid brightness reversal, then brightness consistency is improved, but crosstalk and residual shadow increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness consistencyVSAvoidcrosstalk and residual shadow
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the voltage gamma max power from a finely-adjusted parameter to a coarser, fixed parameter across dimming groups, eliminating brightness reversal while managing crosstalk through the grouping strategy rather than continuous adjustment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If continuous adjustment of voltage gamma max power is used to maintain display quality across dimming values, then display quality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent simplifies the control system by segmenting dimming values into groups that share common voltage gamma max power settings, reducing the complexity of continuous adjustment while maintaining adequate display quality across the full dimming range

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
