Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary characterization of the display panel to determine offset voltages for different driving voltage levels and luminance settings. Offset look-up tables are pre-generated based on these characteristics, enabling the driving controller to compensate for voltage-induced display quality variations without requiring real-time adjustments during operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts data signal parameters (specifically offset voltages) based on changes in driving voltage levels and luminance settings. By modifying the data signal characteristics according to the specific operating conditions, the system maintains consistent display quality across different power consumption states
