Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face limitations in display performance, particularly in compensating for luminance differences due to voltage drops without affecting pixel driving stability and power voltage supply.

Innovation Solution

A display device with a luminance compensating unit that adjusts gamma voltage based on the difference between high potential voltages supplied to pixels at different sides of the display panel, using a gamma driving voltage compensating unit to detect and compensate for voltage drops in real time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If gamma voltage is adjusted to compensate for luminance difference, then display quality is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional luminance compensating unit

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminance uniformityVSAvoidcircuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The luminance compensating unit measures the actual high potential voltage at pixel locations and feeds this information back to adjust the gamma voltage accordingly. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables real-time compensation for voltage drops, ensuring uniform luminance across the display panel while maintaining reasonable circuit complexity through efficient feedback processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the gamma voltage parameter based on measured voltage drops at different pixel locations. By adjusting this key parameter in response to actual operating conditions, the system achieves luminance uniformity without requiring fundamental changes to the display structure or adding excessively complex circuitry.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Illumination intensity

If real-time voltage detection is implemented, then luminance deviation is reduced, but measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminance consistencyVSAvoidvoltage measurement accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The luminance compensating unit implements voltage measurement at specific critical locations (first and second pixel lines at opposite ends of the display panel) rather than attempting to measure every pixel. This localized measurement approach provides sufficient information to characterize voltage drops across the entire panel while reducing the precision requirements compared to universal pixel-level measurement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the luminance compensating unit as an intermediary component that indirectly measures voltage characteristics through strategically selected pixel lines. This intermediary approach provides adequate measurement precision for compensation purposes without requiring extremely high precision measurement capabilities across all pixels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A display device can include a display panel having a plurality of pixels, and a luminance compensating unit. The luminance compensating unit can adjust a gamma voltage according to a difference between a first high potential voltage and a second high potential voltage. The first high potential voltage can be supplied to a pixel that is the most adjacent to one side of the display panel, among the plurality of pixels. The second high potential voltage can be supplied to a pixel that is the most adjacent to another side of the display panel, among the plurality of pixels.
