Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If conventional current driving methods are used for LEDs, then the display device can operate, but the brightness cannot closely follow the Gamma curve especially for low grayscales
Solution Approach 1:
The driving cycle is segmented into multiple stages (initial stage and subsequent stages), and the current is divided into multiple levels (first current and second current). This segmentation allows different current levels to be applied at different times to achieve Gamma curve compliance for low grayscales while maintaining display quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The driving circuit dynamically adjusts the current level based on the cycle stage and grayscale value. In the initial stage, a first current is applied, and in subsequent stages, a second current is applied. This dynamic adjustment enables the brightness to follow the Gamma curve closely, especially for low grayscales.
2Illumination intensity
If higher current is applied to improve brightness, then the display brightness increases, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The driving circuit uses periodic action by applying different current levels in different cycles. In the initial stage of each cycle, a first current is applied, and in subsequent stages, a second current is applied. This periodic variation in current application allows the display to achieve required brightness while managing energy consumption through controlled current delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The driving circuit changes the current parameter dynamically based on the cycle stage and grayscale value. By adjusting the current level (first current vs. second current) at different times, the system achieves optimal brightness-energy consumption balance, ensuring Gamma curve compliance without excessive energy consumption.
