Solution Overview

Problem

Liquid crystal displays suffer from color cast issues when viewed from the lateral side due to differences in pixel brightness, as conventional adjustments focus on front-side brightness, degrading color quality.

Innovation Solution

A driving device for a display panel with a gate driving unit, timing controller, and output enable controller adjusts the charging times of sub-pixel regions through scanning lines, controlling grayscale displays and preventing color cast by neutralizing brightness across regions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If conventional adjustment focuses on front-side brightness, then front-side display quality is optimized, but lateral viewing produces color cast and degraded quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefront-side brightnessVSAvoidlateral viewing quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display panel into multiple regions (first display region and second display region) corresponding to different viewing angles. Each region is controlled by separate scanning lines (first scanning line and second scanning line) with different duty ratios, allowing independent brightness adjustment for front-side and lateral viewing conditions respectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If single scanning line controls all display regions, then device structure is simple, but charging time cannot be individually adjusted for different regions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescanning line configurationVSAvoidcharging time control
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The gate driving unit is segmented into multiple independent scanning lines (first scanning line connected to first display region, second scanning line connected to second display region). Each scanning line can be controlled independently by the timing controller to provide different charging durations to different display regions, enabling precise brightness control for various viewing angles

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
