Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display panels face high power consumption due to the use of the same black state voltage in both high and low brightness modes, leading to an increased data signal range and inefficient power usage.

Innovation Solution

Implementing different black state voltages for different brightness modes and light-emitting elements with distinct colors to optimize power consumption by adjusting the data signal range based on brightness levels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the same black state voltage is used for both high and low brightness modes, then the display panel can maintain simple voltage control, but the data signal range increases and power consumption rises

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage control complexityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different black state voltages to different brightness modes. Specifically, a first black state voltage is used for high brightness mode while a second black state voltage is used for low brightness mode, where the voltages are differently sized based on the specific brightness requirements. This allows each mode to operate with optimized voltage levels, reducing unnecessary voltage range and lowering power consumption while maintaining simple control architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If the same black state voltage is used for all light-emitting elements, then the control system remains simple, but power consumption increases due to inefficient voltage usage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol system complexityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends local quality to individual light-emitting elements by assigning different black state voltages based on their specific characteristics and brightness mode requirements. Each light-emitting element receives an optimized black state voltage appropriate for its operation mode, rather than a uniform voltage applied to all elements. This reduces the overall data signal range and minimizes power consumption while keeping the control system relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If a larger data signal range is used to accommodate all brightness modes, then the display panel can operate across all modes, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrightness mode adaptabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamics by making the black state voltage adaptive to the current brightness mode. The system dynamically switches between a first black state voltage for high brightness mode and a second black state voltage for low brightness mode. This dynamic adaptation allows the display panel to maintain versatility across all brightness modes while minimizing the data signal range actively in use, thereby reducing power consumption compared to using a constantly large voltage range.
