Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display panel technologies face issues with horizontal stripe and color deviation due to inconsistent charging states of sub-pixels, particularly at different refresh rates, which conventional line overdrive compensation methods fail to adequately address.

Innovation Solution

A display compensation method that involves optimizing gain values in a compensation table to perform overdrive compensation in different directions for sub-pixels with varying charging states, using negative and positive compensation based on specific gain values for partitions with opposite charging states.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If conventional line overdrive compensation is applied to the entire screen, then horizontal stripe is improved at one side, but the other side with different charging states remains unoptimized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehorizontal stripe correctionVSAvoidadaptability to different charging states
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The screen is divided into multiple regions (first region and second region) based on different charging states of sub-pixels. Each region is independently compensated using different overdrive grayscale values, allowing optimized correction for each zone rather than applying a uniform compensation across the entire screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different overdrive compensation strategies are applied to different regions of the screen. The first region uses a first overdrive grayscale while the second region uses a second overdrive grayscale, matching the local charging characteristics of each region to achieve optimal compensation效果.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If the same overdrive compensation is applied to all sub-pixels, then the compensation process is simple, but it cannot address the different charging states of sub-pixels at different positions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation process complexityVSAvoiddisplay uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel is segmented into multiple regions with different charging characteristics. By dividing the screen into first and second regions based on sub-pixel charging states, the system can apply region-specific overdrive compensation without significantly increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The overdrive grayscale parameter is changed according to the region being compensated. Different overdrive grayscale values are used for different regions to match their specific charging states, achieving improved display uniformity while maintaining manageable complexity through parameter variation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
