Solution Overview

Problem

Liquid crystal displays face issues with power consumption and operational risks during heavy-load conditions, leading to uneven charging and brightness across rows due to sequential scanning, resulting in 'bright and dark rows' or stripe feeling.

Innovation Solution

A driving method and circuit that sorts image data rows based on voltage polarity and generates sorting labels to compensate image data voltages, allowing non-sequential scanning of gate lines, ensuring consistent charging efficiency and brightness across rows.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If sequential scanning mode is used, then power consumption is reduced under normal conditions, but under heavy-load conditions power consumption increases greatly and causes operational risks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidoperational reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic scanning mode switching that adapts to different display conditions. The system automatically transitions between sequential and non-sequential scanning modes based on real-time detection of display content characteristics, optimizing power consumption while ensuring operational reliability under varying load conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the scanning mode parameter from fixed sequential to variable, allowing switching between sequential and non-sequential modes. This parameter change enables the system to adjust its operating characteristics to match different display scenarios, reducing power consumption during heavy-load conditions while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of energy

If non-sequential scanning mode is used, then power consumption is reduced under heavy-load conditions, but stripe feeling is generated due to different charging efficiency between rows

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoiddisplay uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary compensation actions to image data before display. By detecting the voltage polarity of each row's image data and pre-calculating compensation values, the system adjusts the image data in advance to counteract the uneven charging effects that would otherwise occur during non-sequential scanning, thereby eliminating stripe feelings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism that monitors the voltage polarity characteristics of image data for each row. Based on this feedback information, the system dynamically adjusts compensation values and scanning strategies to maintain uniform display quality across all rows, preventing stripe artifacts while preserving power savings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Power

If voltage polarity switching is performed during scanning, then power consumption is optimized, but charging efficiency becomes uneven across rows causing bright and dark rows

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidcharging efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality adjustment by treating each row's image data independently based on its voltage polarity characteristics. The system calculates and applies row-specific compensation values that account for local differences in charging efficiency, ensuring that each row receives appropriately adjusted voltage to achieve uniform brightness across the entire display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
